With pollution on the rise, and demand for fresh water increasing, world leaders are concerned that in the future many people wi

ll not have access to clean drinking water. Select the statement that best describes the long-term global effects of this behavior.
People do not need to be concerned because there is an unlimited supply of fresh water on the Earth so we will never run out.Fresh water is a limited resource. If we pollute the fresh water we have, there will be a shortage of clean drinking water in the future.The Earth is getting warmer and if all the ice melts the sea level will rise and we will have more fresh water.There will always be enough fresh water because the Earth is about 75% water and it surrounds every continent

Answer: If we pollute the fresh water we have, there will be a shortage of clean drinking water in the future.

Explanation:

Water is the basic need for all living organisms on earth. As all organisms exhibit some part of body mass which includes water with regular functional activities the level of water in the body depletes as a result of this the demand for water in the body increases. The majority of diversity of living beings rely on freshwater for their survival.

The sources of freshwater on earth are reducing due to natural and human induced causes. The natural cause is the drought and the human induced cause is the deforestation which is related to the water cycle. If the water cycle is disturbed no more freshwater will be available. Also the human population is responsible for polluting the freshwater sources by discharging the sewage, industrial wastes and other pollutants. All these causes can be responsible for the shortage of clean drinking water in the future.

A perfectly flexible cable has length L, and initially it is at rest with a length Xo of it hanging over the table edge. Neglect
zaharov [31]

Answer:

X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Explanation:

Given that

Length = L

At initial over hanging length = Xo

Lets take the length =X after time t

The velocity of length will become V

Now by energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2=mg(X-X_o)

So

V=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}

We know that

\dfrac{dX}{dt}=V

\dfrac{dX}{dt}=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}

\sqrt{2g}\ dt=(X-X_o)^{-\frac{1}{2}}dX

At t= 0 ,X=Xo

So we can say that

X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

So the length of cable after time t

X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

A ball is dropped from rest at a point 12 m above the ground into a smooth, frictionless chute. The ball exits the chute 2 m abo
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

29,7 m

Explanation:

We need to devide the problem in two parts:

A)  Energy

B) MRUV

<u>Energy:</u>

Since no friction between pint (1) and (2), then the energy conservatets:

Energy = constant ----> Ek(cinética) + Ep(potencial) = constant

Ek1 + Ep1 = Ek2 + Ep2

Ek1 = 0  ; because V1 is zero (the ball is "dropped")

Ep1 = m*g*H1

Ep2= m*g*H2

Then:

Ek2  = m*g*(H1-H2)

By definition of cinetic energy:

m*(V2)²/2 = m*g*(H1-H2) --->  V2 = \sqrt{(2*g*(H1-H2)}

Replaced values:  V2 = 14,0 m/s

<u>MRUV:</u>

The decomposition of the velocity (V2), gives a for the horizontal component:

V2x = V2*cos(α)

Then the traveled distance is:

X = V2*cos(α)*t.... but what time?

The time what takes the ball hit the ground.

Since: Y3 - Y2 = V2*t + (1/2)*(-g)*t²

In the vertical  axis:

Y3 = 0 ; Y2 = H2 = 2 m

Reeplacing:

-2 = 14*t + (1/2)*(-9,81)*t²

solving the ecuation, the only positive solution is:

t = 2,99 sec ≈ 3 sec

Then, for the distance:

X = V2*cos(α)*t = (14 m/s)*(cos45°)*(3sec) ≈ 29,7 m

How do you describes a mixture​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances in which the identities of substances are retained. ... The mixture can be in the form of solutions, colloids and suspension. The mixture will have characteristics different from the parent material due to the combination of different kinds of materials.

Hope this helps!!!

A sealed cubical container 10.0 cm on a side contains three times Avogadro's number of molecules at a temperature of 24.0°C. Fin
rodikova [14]

This question involves the concepts of general gas equation and pressure.

The force exerted by the gas on one of the walls of the container is "74.08 KN".

First, we will use the general gas equation to find out the pressure of the gas:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = ?

V = Volume of cube = (side length)³ = (10 cm)³ = (0.1 m)³ = 0.001 m³

n = no. of moles = 3 (since molecules equal to avogadro's number make up 1 mole)

R = general gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = Absolute Temperature = 24°C + 273 = 297 K

Therefore,

P = \frac{(3)(8.314\ J/mol.k)(297\ K)}{0.001\ m^3}

P = 7407.78 KPa

Now, the force on one wall can be given as follows:

P =\frac{F}{A}\\\\F=PA

where,

A = area of one wall = (side length)² = (0.1 m)² = 0.01 m²

Therefore,

F=(7407.78\ KPa)(0.01\ m^2)\\

<u>F = 74.08 KN</u>

<u></u>
