Answer:

the answer is 'a'

Explanation:

When air pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide mix with moisture, they change into acids. They then fall back to earth as acid rain. Wind often carries acid rain far from the pollution source.

Humans depend on water from various sources for different reasons. All of these sources are polluted or could be polluted to som
goldenfox [79]

Explanation:

Earth is known as the "Blue Planet" because 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water also exists below land surface and as water vapor in the air. Water is a finite source. The bottled water that is consumed today might possibly be the same water that once trickled down the back of a wooly mammoth. The Earth is a closed system, meaning that very little matter, including water, ever leaves or enters the atmosphere; the water that was here billions of years ago is still here now. But, the Earth cleans and replenishes the water supply through the hydrologic cycle.

Compare and contrast the positive and negative effects that result from the use of the Haber process.
Luda [366]

Answer: Positive effects: mass production of fertilizers, alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes, explosives

Negative effects: heath problems, negative effects on soil organisms and soil organic matter,  imbalances to the nitrogen cycle, high fossil fuel energy inputs, production of deadly weapons

Explanation:

The Haber process (also called Haber Bosch process) is used to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen under the high pressure. Basically, it's an artificial nitrogen fixation process. This method has both positive and negative effects on modern society.

Positive sides: ammonia is mainly used for mass production of fertilizer, which allows more food for everyone. It can be used for production of alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes and explosives. Ammonia is also used in production of synthetic polymers, due to its role in the manufacturing of cyanide.

Negative sides: ammonia is a toxic gas, it can irritate eyes and lungs. Because of that, the excess nitrogen in soil and water coming from synthetic fertilizers can cause health problems. It is harmful for humans and animals, but it can also be harmful for plants. Environmental factors are also important. Because of the mass fixation, there is imbalance in the earth’s nitrogen cycle. Also, fossil fuels are used as a source of power for machinery in Haber's process, which increases emissions into the atmosphere. And, at least ammonia is a major component of weapons including great number of bombs.

Which of the following objects would take you the greatest amount of force to accelerate?
horsena [70]

Complete question is;

Which of the following object would take you the greatest amount of force to accelerate.

A) a soccer ball with a mass of 0.5 kg

B) a refrigerator with a mass of 200 kg, C) a bike with a mass of 25 kg

D) a car with a mass of 5,000 kg,

Answer:

D) a car with a mass of 5,000 kg

Explanation:

Formula for force is;

F = ma

Where;

F is force

m is mass

a is acceleration

Now, Force is directly proportional to the acceleration and mass.

Thus, the higher the mass, the greater the force.

Thus, the object that will require the most force is the one that has the highest mass.

Looking at the options, the one with the highest mass is option D.
