The energy is not conserved because:

1. Energy may still be leaving the system through friction.

2. There could be measurement error that account for the missing energy

Given that a different group roll a round object down a ramp instead of dropping it. They measure the initial height to calculate gravitational potential energy, use the motion detector to track the final velocity, and calculate the kinetic energy of the object at the end.

Despite all their careful measurements, it appears that energy is not

conserved because

1. Energy may still be leaving the system through friction. In which the energy lost will be converted to thermal energy

2. There could be measurement error that account for the missing energy. The may occur due to systematic error or parallax error

The object is not moving as fast at the bottom as the initial gravitational potential would have led them to predict. This is not as a result of rotational energy. There is nothing like rotational energy.

Acid mine drainage is:

Dahasolnce [82]

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.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s toward an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling in the opposite direction on th

Serhud [2]

The initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum is denoted by P.

Momentum P = mv , where m = mass and v = velocity.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the orange train = 200kg

Velocity of the orange train = 1m/s

So, the momentum of the orange train will be,

∴ P = mv

P = 200 x 1

P = 200 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the orange train is 200kgm/s.

Mass of the yellow train = 100kg

Velocity of the yellow train = 8m/s

So, the momentum of the yellow train will be,

∴ P = mv

P = 100 x 8

P = 800 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the yellow train is 800kgm/s.

Therefore, the initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.
