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.

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa
vovikov84 [41]
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
  
          F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
