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.

Answer:
138.3 days
Explanation:
Given that a Planet Ayanna has a radius of 6.2 X 10%m and orbits the star named Dayli in 98 days. A new neighboring planet Clayton J-21 has been discovered and has a radius of 7.8 X 10 meters.
The period of time for Clayton J-21 to orbit Dayli can be calculated by using Kepler law.
T^2 is proportional to r^3
That is,
T^2/r^3 = constant
98^2 / 62^3 = T^2 / 78^3
Make T^2 the subject of formula.
T^2 = 98^2 / 62^3 × 78^3
T^2 = 19123.2
T = sqrt ( 19123.2 )
T = 138.2867 days
Therefore, the period of time for Clayton J-21 to orbit Dayli is 138.3 days approximately.
Answer:
a) 1450watts
b) 564watts
c) 1.11
Explanation:
Power consumed = IV
I is the current rating
V is the operating voltage
If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;
a) For blow-dryer
Operating voltage = 120V
Its current rating = 12A
Power consumed = IV
= 120×12
= 1440watts
b) For vacuum cleaner:
Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V
Its current rating = 4.7A
Power consumed = IV
= 120×4.7
= 564watts
c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken
Energy used = Power × time
Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60
= 1,728,000Joules
Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60
= 564×2760
= 1,556,640Joules
Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11
Answer:
Explanation:
To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.
To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.
<u>1. 18 mph 327º</u>
- Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph
- Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph
<u>2. 4 mph 60º</u>
- Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph
- Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph
<u>3. Addition:</u>
You add the corresponding components:
To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:
<u>4. Direction:</u>
Use the tangent ratio:
Find the inverse:
