Why might surface mining be less risky for miners than underground mining?

Physics
2 answers:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Destruction of land, mine explosions, collapses and flooding surface subsidence,surface heaps

Explanation:

Surface mining might be  less risky for miners than underground mining because of the following

1. Underground mining is more expensive than surface mining.It takes more time and energy to mine for coal in the underground

2. Destruction of land surfaces: Underground mining actually leads to the damage to landscape. The lands change form and topography due to the mining activities.

3. Surface subsidence,

4.Abandoned shafts and extensive surface spoil heaps,

5.Explosions: There is what is known as the triangle of fire. For a fire outbreak, there must be oxydant. fuel and ignition. Once these three are in place, an explosion can occur which can lead to loss of lives and equipments etc.

6. Collapses:  Landslides might occur

due to tampering with the earth's layer during underground mining activities

7. Flooding: During underground mining, The table water can be be disrupted which might lead to flooding

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?
Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl
Sergeu [11.5K]

Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon m_1 and the mass of the basket m_2, then according to newton's second law:

(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a,

where a =0.265m/s^2 is the upward acceleration, and F = 688N is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension T in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8

and this tension must equal

T -m_2g =m_2a

(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

m_2a = 79.8

since a =0.265m/s^2, we have

\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of F and a, we get:

688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)

\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is  2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
brilliants [131]

Answer:

P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

Explanation:

What the equation means is that if you double the current you end up with 4 times the power loss. It's like the area of carpet you need for a room - if you make the room twice as long and twice as wide you need 4x as much carpet. The physical explanation is that the voltage difference along a wire depends on the current - more current flowing with a resistance means more voltage (pressure of electricity if you like) is built up.

This extra voltage means more power. So if you double the current your would double the power, but you also double the voltage which doubles the power again = 4x as much power. P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

I hope this helps you out, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC . Part A How many electrons did it lose in the process of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻

Explanation:

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC = + 20 × 10⁻¹² C. This is a consequence of losing electrons (negative charges). The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96468 C (Faraday's constant). The moles of electrons representing 20 pC are:

20 × 10⁻¹² C × (1 mol e⁻/ 96468 C) = 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻

1 mole of electrons has 6.02 × 10²³ electrons (Avogadro's number). The electrons is 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ moles of electrons are:

2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻ × (6.02 × 10²³ e⁻/ 1 mol e⁻) = 1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻
