Answer: D
Models help us to understand systems and their properties
Answer:
e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.
Explanation:
If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.
As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.
In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.
The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.
It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.
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 />
