Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution

1 answer:

8 0

The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion.

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />

What is the gravitational force on a 70kg that is 6.38x10^6m above the earths surface

NARA [144]

Answer:

171.5 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force on an object due to the Earth is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity at a certain height h above the Earth is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}$

where:

G is the gravitational constant

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

$R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ is the Earth's radius

Here,

$h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m$

So the acceleration due to gravity is

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 6.38\cdot 10^6)^2}=2.45 m/s^2$

We know that the mass of the object is

m = 70 kg

So, the gravitational force on it is

$F=mg=(70)(2.45)=171.5 N$

An object with a mass of 10 kg is accelerated upward at 2 m/sec2. What force is required?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Answer: Given m = 10 kg and . F = 20 N. Thus, the force required to accelerate the object upward direction is 20 N.

Explanation:

Answer: Given m = 10 kg and . F = 20 N. Thus, the force required to accelerate the object upward direction is 20 N.

Explain any two areas affected by migration

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

<h2>Migration is affected by various factors like age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, employment etc. Age and sex are main demographic factors that affect the migration. Men, generally, migrate to other places quite often though there are more women who migrate to husbands' places after marriage.</h2>
