Which is the best location for storing radioactive wastes?

2 answers:

7 0

The answer is in chambers carved into the rock of a mountain. Radioactive waste should be well disposed where they are little to no anthropogenic activity that would uncover them. This is especially critical for high-level radioactive waste should be buried deep up to 2000 meters. While low-level radioactive waste can be buried 100 meters into the ground such as in sand, the risk is that it could contaminate the water table.

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Sup

Tema [17]

Answer:

a) v = 19,149.6 m/s

b) f = 95%

c) t = 346.5min

Explanation:

First put all values in metric units:

$15.8 min*\frac{60s}{1min}=948s$

The equation of motion you need is:

$v_f = a*t+v_0$

where $v_f$ is the final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time in hours.

Since the spaceship starts from 0 velocity:

$v_f = a*t = 20.2*948 = 19,149.6 m/s$

Next, you need to calculate the distances traveled on each interval, considering that both starting and final intervals travel the same distance because the acceleration and time are equal. For this part you need the next motion equation:

$x=\frac{v_0+v_f}{2}t$

solving for first and last interval:

Since the spaceship starts and finish with 0 velocity:

$x=\frac{v}{2}t=\frac{19,149.6}{2}948=9,076,910.4m=9,076.9104km$

Then the ship traveled $384,000-9,076.9104*2 = 361,846.1792km$ at constant speed, which means that it traveled:

$f_{constant_speed} =\frac{ x_{constant_speed}}{x_total} =\frac{361,846.1792}{380,000} =0.95$

Which in percentage is 95% of the trip.

to calculate total time you need to calculate the time used during constant speed:

$t = \frac{361,846,179.2}{19,149.6} = 18,895.75s = 314min$

That added to the other interval times:

$t_{total} = t_1+t_2+t_3=15.8+314.93+15.8=346.5min$

you measured the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight by lifting up the end of the gyroscope (at 7.5 inches). If you measured

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

i) No, the spring scale does not read a different value

ii) The torque will read a different value, it will reduce

iii) The spring scale does not need to be measured at the center of mass location.

Explanation:

The torque caused by the gyroscope can be given by the relation,

$\tau =$ r × f

$\tau = rf cos \theta$

The torque measured by the gyroscope varies directly with the distance, r.

A decrease in the distance r will also cause a decrease in the value of the torque measured. When the distance, r is reduced from 7.5 inches to 5 inches, the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight also reduces.

The weight of the gyroscope remains constant despite the reduction in the distance because the weight of the gyroscope is not a function of the distance from the gyroscope. Therefore, the spring scale will not read a different value.

Yes, the spring scale does not need to be measured from the center of mass location because the weight does not depend on the location of measurement. The reading of the sprig scale remains constant.
