Acid mine drainage is:

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.

You are standing on a street corner with your friend. You then travel 14.0 m due west across the street and into your apartment

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall express each displacement vectorially , i for each unit displacement towards east , j for northward displacement and k for vertical displacement .

14 m due west = - 14 i

22.0 m upward in the elevator = 22 k

12 m north = 12 j

6.00 m east = 6 i

Total displacement = - 14 i + 22 k + 12 j + 6 i

D = - 8 i + 12 j + 22 k

magnitude = √ ( 8² + 12² + 22² )

= √ ( 64 + 144 + 484 )

= √ 692

= 26.3 m

Net displacement from starting point = 26.3 m .

A coyote can locate a sound source with good accuracy by comparing the arrival times of a sound wave at its two ears. Suppose a

il63 [147K]

Answer:

0.0000109261200583 s

0.0109261200583

Explanation:

$d_2$ = Distance from right ear = 3 m

s = Distance between ears = 15 cm

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Distance between the left ear and the bird

$d_1=\sqrt{s^2+d_2^2}\\\Rightarrow d_1=\sqrt{0.15^2+3^2}\\\Rightarrow d_1=3.00374765918\ m=3.004\ m$

Time

$t=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

Time difference would be

$\Delta T=\dfrac{d_1}{v}-\dfrac{d_2}{v}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{3.00374765918}{343}-\dfrac{3}{343}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=0.0000109261200583\ s$

The time difference is 0.0000109261200583 s

Time period is given by

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{1000}\\\Rightarrow T=10^{-3}\ s$

The ratio is

$\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}=\dfrac{0.0000109261200583}{10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\Delta T}{T}=0.0109261200583$

The ratio is 0.0109261200583

You are waiting to turn left into a small parking lot. a car approaching from the opposite direction has a turn signal on. you s

katrin [286]

If the car in the opposite direction turns the signal on your vehicle, then it is only likely to give way and let him or her turn before you make your turn because he or she is in the right of way and by doing this, it will prevent any complication from happening and to be able to show respect and politeness in driving.
