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

How much work is done on a satellite in a circular orbit about earth?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

W = Work done on the satellite in circular orbit about earth by earth

F = Force on gravity on satellite by earth

d = displacement of the satellite

\theta = Angle between the force on gravity and displacement = 90

We know that, Work done is given as

W = F d Cos\theta\\W = F d Cos90\\W = F d (0)\\W = 0 J

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding consecutive phases of a waveform. It is usually represented by λ in the mathematical expressions.

A continuous propagating wave repeats its wavelength over the distance.

A wave has crest and trough with respect to time and space.

Wave is defined as a disturbance of any parameter repeated in a cyclic manner over the given time.
