Which statement best describes a risk associated with using radioisotopes in nuclear reactors? A Radioisotopes are very expensiv

e and do not produce the amount of energy that coal and oil produce. B If the radiation were to leak out of the reactors, it could produce an abundance of new plants and organisms. C Radioisotopes are extremely difficult to obtain and can only be retrieved from the Sun. D If the radiation were to leak out of the reactors, it could cause significant damage to living organisms.

The correct answer is :
<span>D If the radiation were to leak out of the reactors, it could cause significant damage to living organisms.
</span><span>
In fact, the ionizing radiation that leaks out from a nuclear reactor is able to modify the DNA of the cells of living organisms, causing mutations and/or diseases like cancer.</span>

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 150 mH, a capacitor of 5.00 mF, and a generator with DVmax 5 240 V opera
yanalaym [24]

Given:

Inductance, L = 150 mH

Capacitance, C = 5.00 mF

\Delta V_{max} = 240 V

frequency, f = 50Hz

I_{max} = 100 mA

Solution:

To calculate the parameters of the given circuit series RLC circuit:

angular frequency, \omega =  2\pi f = 2\pi \times50 = 100\pi

a). Inductive reactance,  X_{L} is given by:

\X_{L} = \omega L = 100\pi \times 150\times 10^{-3} = 47.12\Omega

X_{L} = 47.12\Omega 

b). The capacitive reactance,  X_{C} is given by:

\X_{C} = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi fC} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 50\times 5.00\times 10^{-3}} = 0.636\Omega

X_{C} = 0.636\Omega

c). Impedance, Z = \frac{\Delta V_{max}}{I_{max}} = \frac{240}{100\times 10^{-3}} = 2400\Omega

Z = 2400\Omega

d). Resistance, R is given by:

Z = \sqrt {R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})}

2400^{2} = R^{2} + (47.12 - 0.636)^{2}

R = \sqrt {5757839.238}

R = 2399.5\Omega

e). Phase angle between current and the generator voltage is given by:

tan\phi = \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R}

\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R})

\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{47.12 - 0.636}{2399.5}) = tan^{-1}{0.0.01937}

\phi = 1.11^{\circ}

I). Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

false statement : b )  For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant

differentiating both side

Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0

Δ potential energy = -  Δ kinetic energy

first statement is true.

Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second  option,  the correct relation is as follows

change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .

So given 2 nd  option is incorrect.

In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to

change in kinetic energy.

What benefits does preforming this investigation in the physical world have over the computer simulation?
mezya [45]

Explanation:

Can be safer and cheaper than the real world. Able to test a product or system works before building it. Can use it to find unexpected problems. Can speed things up or slow them down to see changes over long or short periods of time.
