Read the article "The Problem with Plastic": When it was first invented, plastic was hailed as a wonderful invention. It is now

used in hundreds of thousands of popular products. While plastic is a convenient material, it has become one of the largest environmental problems the Earth has ever faced. Plastic was first invented in the late 1800s. It wasn't until after WWII, however, that the material was manufactured for mass consumption. One reason for this was the sheer number of factories that had been built to support the war effort. When the war was over, the factories moved from manufacturing military-related products to products for consumers, like cars, washing machines, and radios—all of which required plastic parts. Plastic was inexpensive to make and use, and this led to a rapid increase in its use. Due to its versatility and durability, many good-quality products could be made from plastic. The plastic industry boomed, and more and more products were made. We use more than 20 times the amount of plastic we did 50 years ago. This is part of the reason plastic has become such a problem: there is a lot of it. Many plastic products are often single-use products, such as water bottles, plastic bags, straws, and food containers. These items are typically used once and then thrown away. This is the second part of the plastic problem: plastic is not biodegradable. No animal or organism can break down plastic. It will degrade over time, but this process takes over 400 years. While plastics can be recycled, less than 10 percent of all plastic products used in the United States are recycled. This is because we use many types of plastics that each have different chemical compositions. Mixing plastics can cause contamination, therefore making them unsafe to use again. Plastic waste can also be contaminated by other materials such as paper and ink. Separating plastics from other materials and different types of plastic from one another is no easy task. This means that very little of the plastic we use is recycled

One way to demonstrate academic integrity is to
eimsori [14]
One way to demonstrate academic integrity is to give credence and acknowledgement to the sources of your information.

For example:
You wrote a definition of a term. And you found that definition in a book authored by somebody. On you paper, you either write "According to the novel written by author, TERM is defined as..."

For example:
You are tasked to define the word "plagiarism".

To demonstrate academic integrity, you define plagiarism like this:

According to wikipedia, Plagiarism is <span>the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Note that you have stated your source.
You can then add your own input and thought about the word. Like this:

I believe that plagiarism is an act of a lazy person. A person who pretends to be smart but in reality is just a parasite.

Write a paragraph not more than 100 words on the topic best friend​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

here :)

Explanation:

(not sure if this will help but here bruh)

Best friends are so much more than a description in a singular paragraph. They are so much more than what we can put into words.  Best friends can be stuffed animals, people, or for the few of us that are antisocial: pets. They can be soulmates, parents, or inanimate objects. No matter <em>what</em> they are, they help us get through hard places in our lives where we feel stuck or upset. For that we sincerely thank all the best friends out there. Cuddly pets or not.

Diego conducted an experiment to find out what kind of ball bounces the highest when dropped from a five-foot platform. He
Zina [86]

Answer:

Drop each ball from the platform three more times

Explanation:

Reliability or precision means how much the measured values vary from each other when measured by performing the same experiment repeatedly.

When measuring values by observation in physical experiments of this nature, it is best to perform the experiment and measure the values at least three times. The more the better.

In such measurements there is always a margin of error, e.g how at exact time you start and stop the stop-watch. There may also be a but harder or softer side of ball (tennis ball strip) touching the ground. In order to minimize such and some other margin of errors, it is advisable to measure the values more than 3-4 times, and then take their mean. The value now obtained would be would reliable or precise.

Second and third options are incorrect because they will have no effect on improving the reliability.

In order for the fourth option to be correct, the other people need to do the same (not similar) experiment, with the same balls and same conditions/instruments. That would be equivalent to repeating the experiment 3-4 times, which is already covered by first option.
