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.

Hi there!

Hooke's law states that:

F = -kx

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = DISPLACEMENT from equilibrium (m)

Essentially, the force of a spring is PROPORTIONAL to its spring constant and its displacement from its equilibrium point.

The force of the spring (T) is not proportional to the spring's length (l), but rather its DISPLACEMENT from its equilibrium length. (Δl)

The equilibrium length is where the force of the spring (T) = 0N. Looking at the graph, the line intersects this value at l = 30cm.

We can begin by looking at the given graph.

When the spring force = 4N, the total length of the spring is 35 cm.

Now, the EQUILIBRIUM length is 30 cm, so the total elongation is:

35 - 30 = 5 cm.

5.1.

If the spring elongates by 10 cm, the total length of the spring is:

30 + 10 = 40 cm

According to the graph, a length of 40 cm corresponds to a force of 8N.

5.2.

We can solve for the weight of the ball using the following:

W (weight) = m (mass) · acceleration due to gravity (10N/kg)

Using a summation of forces:

∑F = T - W

The elongation that we are solving for occurs at the equilibrium point (net force = 0 N), so:

0 = T - W

T = W = 8 N

5.3.

0 = T - Mg

T = Mg

Use the prior value of T and gravity to solve:

8 = 10M

m = 0.8 kg

You have two points in a soil. Point A is at 75 cm; point B is at 25 cm above the reference. The capillary potential energy at p

user100 [1]

Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J

One difference between mixture and pure substances is that

Lunna [17]

Pure substances can be elements made up exclusively of one kind of atom, or they can be compounds made up of molecules that include two or more elements. Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous depending on how finely mixed the components are.
