3. How do astronomers explain the lack of a meteorite in Tunguska? What evidence exists to support this

1 answer:

4 0

No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.

A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area A = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J$

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\epsilon_0 k \frac{A}{d}$

where

ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 C2/N.m2 is the vacuum permittivity

k = 3.00 is the dielectric constant

$A=30.0 cm^2 = 30.0\cdot 10^{-4}m^2$ is the area of the plates

d = 9.00 mm = 0.009 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

$C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)(3.00 ) \frac{30.0\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}{0.009 m}=8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F$

Now we can calculate the energy of the capacitor, given by:

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance

V = 15.0 V is the potential difference

Substituting,

$U=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F)(15.0 V)^2=9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J$

Match each item with the clean water regulation it describes. (2 points)

Leona [35]

The correct match of each item to the clean water regulation it describes is as follows:

Regulates pollutants discharged into surface waters: Clean water act
Covers both surface and ground waters: Safe drinking water act
Authorizes the EPA to establish minimum standards for tap water: Safe drinking water act
Funds sewage treatment plants: Clean water act

<h3>What are the functions of clean water regulation?</h3>

Clean Water Act (CWA) is a regulatory body that establishes the basic structure for the regulation of pollutants discharge and maintenance of quality standards of the surface waters.

On the other hand, the Safe Drinking Water Act was founded to oversee the protection of the quality drinking water. The regulatory body is primarily concerned with potable water all waters, whether from above ground or underground sources.

Therefore, the correct match of each item to the clean water regulation it describes is as follows:

Regulates pollutants discharged into surface waters: Clean water act
Covers both surface and ground waters: Safe drinking water act
Authorizes the EPA to establish minimum standards for tap water: Safe drinking water act
Funds sewage treatment plants: Clean water act
