Under the provisions of the national environmental policy act (nepa), which of the following would require the preparation of an environmental impact statement (eis)? a) construction of a house on privately owned landb) paving of a parking lot for a local businessc) expansion of an interstate highwayd) planting trees in front of city halle) revision of local zoning ordinances

The correct option is C (expansion of an interstate highway).

Explanation:

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a law that governs the environmental effects of proposed actions of federal agencies before proceeding to taking any decisions. Then the federal agencies are expected to prepare detailed statements assessing the environmental impact of and alternatives to major federal actions significantly affecting the environment. These statements are commonly referred to as Environmental Impact Statements (EIS). The actions that are covered by the policy includes:

-making decisions on permit applications,

-adopting federal land management actions, and

-constructing highways and other publicly-owned facilities.

Therefore expansion of an interstate highway will require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. I hope this helps. Thanks

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
