Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.
The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease.
An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host. A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.
Due to diseases, affected people can not work which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.
The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 
and the kinetic energy is 
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is , but the kinetic energy is reduced to 
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
The circuit was installed in UF cable which requires a minimum burial depth of 6 inches for this circuit.
<h3>
UF cable</h3>
UF cable is used as an underground feeder cable to distribute power from an existing building to outdoor equipment. UF cable can also be used as direct burial cable.
For the 24-volt branch circuit installed, the minimum burial depth will be 6 inches.
Thus, the circuit was installed in UF cable which requires a minimum burial depth of 6 inches for this circuit.
