<span>There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective.
Some of the arguments for leaving it include:
*When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes.
*If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water.
*Removing it can expose people to arsenic
*It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people
*Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard
*Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water
Some of the arguments for removing it include:
*The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood
*If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health.
A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.</span>
The answer is C : 15.7 m/s
Use the idea of : momentum before collision = momentum after collision
Before collision;
For car:mass=1.1×10^3, velocity=22
For truck:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=0
After collision;
For car:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=-11
For truck:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=V
(1.1×10^3 × 22) + (2.3×10^3 × 0) = (1.1×10^3 × -11) + (2.3×10^3 × V)
24200 = -12100 + 2.3×10^3V
2.3×10^3V = 36300
V = 15.7 m/s
Answer:
Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

The half life of uranium- 238 is
4.46 x10^9 years
Explanation
Half life is the time taken for the radioactivity of a isotope to fall to half its original value.
The original mass of uranium-238 is 4.0 mg
Half of original mass of uranium = 4.0 mg /2 = 2.0 mg
since it take 4.46 x 10^ 9 years for the sample to half the half life of uranium -238 = 4.46 x10^9 years
