Answer:

Some of the effects of a dam on the environment includes;

1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases

2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks

3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem

4) Destruction of habitats

5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters

6) Displace villages and communities

7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk

8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration

9) Dams causes earthquakes

Explanation:

Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.

Lena [83]

Answer:

Only 2,3,4 are true

Explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 , $\hbar$ , $2$\hbar$ , $3$\hbar$$ , etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin $2$\hbar$

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric

You drive 6.00 km at 50.0 km/h and then another 6.00kmat 900 km/h Your average speed over

Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

average speed = total distance travelled / total time travelled

time to travel the first 6km: 6 / 50 = 3/25 (h)

time to travel the next 6km: 6 / 90 = 1/15 (h)

[I think there's problem in the question 'cause 900km/h sounds impossible for normal person to travel in normal condition]

The total time: 3/25 + 1/15 = 14/75 (h)

Average speed over the 12 km drive will be:

$\frac{12}{ \frac{14}{75} } = \frac{450}{7} = 64.3 \: km{h}^{ - 1}$

A mechanic uses a wrench that is 22 cm long to tighten a spark plug. If the mechanic exerts a force of 58 N to the end of the wr

Licemer1 [7]

The maximum torque she can apply to the spark plug is 12.76 Nm.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force obtained by taking the product of force and the radius of the applied force.

τ = Fr

where;

F is the applied force
r is the radius

The maximum torque she can apply to the spark plug is calculated as follows;

τ = 58 x (0.22)

τ = 12.76 Nm

Thus, the maximum torque she can apply to the spark plug is 12.76 Nm.

How can a large force result in a relatively small power?

Sav [38]

Answer:

hey mate here is your answer

So if an object has a very small velocity (not moving very far over time, even though a large force may be applied to it, the Power will remain small. ... Stepping on the gas, or "speeding up" the car, is applying a force which will increase velocity and increase power.

A stone takes 5.4 seconds to fall from the top of a cliff. The cliff is

Allushta [10]

Answer:

143

Explanation:

Using one of the 3 fundamental equations in physics, y=vo*t+1/2gt^2, we can use this equation to find the total distance that was traveled.

Acceleration due to gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 and time is 5.4s, we also have no initial velocity.

Given this, we can plug in the known variables.

y=0t+1/2*9.8*5^2

simplify,

y=4.9*5.4^2

y=4.9*29.16

y=142.884m which we can round up to 143 meters

Final Answer: 143 meters
