What is due to acids formed when atmospheric and volcanic gases mix with water
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.

A bullet with momentum of 2.8 kg·m/s [E] is traveling at a speed of 187 m/s. The mass of the bullet is: a) 67 g b) 15 g c) 0.067
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The mass of the bullet is 15 g.

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Momentum = 2.8 kg m/s

Speed = 187 m/s

We need to calculate the mass of the bullet

Using formula of momentum

P = mv

m = \dfrac{P}{v}

Where, P = momentum

v = speed

Put the value into the formula

m = \dfrac{2.8}{187}

m = 0.015\ kg

m = 15\ g

Hence, The mass of the bullet is 15 g.

You are operating a pwc. you are heading straight toward a dock. you turn the engine off and then turn the steering control hard
White raven [17]
In this case, the PWC will head for the dock. This is because, power needs to be applied in order to maintain steering control. If the throttle is left to idle or if the engine is turn off during operation, all steering control will be lost. In each of this situation, the PWC will continue in the was headed before the engine was turned off or before the throttle was left to idle.
