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

Marat540 [252]2 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

It takes you 8.3 min to walk with an average velocity of 1.6 m/s to the north from the bus stop to the museum entrance. How far
Anarel [89]

solution:

1.6 m/s = 96 m/min (in other words, 1.6 m/s x 60 s/min)  

96 m/min x 8.3 min = 796.8 m

s=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2\\there is no accleration mentioned so,\\s= uv\\8.3\times60=498(s)\\510\times1.6=816(m)

Earth orbits the sun at an average circular radius of about 149.60 million kilometers every 365.26 Earth days.
kobusy [5.1K]

The Earth’s average orbital speed expressed in kilometers per hours is 107225.5 Km/hr and the mass of the sun is 2.58 x 10^{24} Kg

<h3>Relationship between Linear and angular speed</h3>

Linear speed is the product of angular speed and the maximum displacement of the particle. That is,

V = Wr

Where

  • V = Linear speed
  • W = Angular speed
  • r = Radius

Given that the earth orbits the sun at an average circular radius of about 149.60 million kilometers every 365.26 Earth days.

a) To determine the Earth’s average orbital speed, we will make use of the below formula to calculate angular speed

W = 2\pi/T

W = (2 x 3.143) / (365.26 x 24)

W = 6.283 / 876624

W = 7.2 x 10^{-4} Rad/hr

The Earth’s average orbital speed V = Wr

V = 7.2 x  10^{-4} x 149.6 x 10^{6}

V = 107225.5 kilometers per hours.

b) Based on the information given in this question, to calculate the approximate mass of the Sun, we will use Kepler's 3rd law

M = (4\pi ^{2}r^{3}) / GT^{2}

M = (4 x 9.8696 x 3.35 x 10^{24}) / (6.67 x 10^{-11} x 7.68 x 10^{11}<em>)</em>

<em>M = 1.32 x </em>10^{26} / 51.226

M = 2.58 x 10^{24} Kg

Therefore, the Earth’s average orbital speed expressed in kilometers per hours is 107225.5 Km/hr and the mass of the sun is 2.58 x 10^{24} Kg
