<span>2.5 m/s going upward.
   In the situation described, Erica and Danny undergo a non-elastic collision which will conserve their combined momentum. Since Erica is stationary, her momentum is 0. And since Danny is moving upward at 4.7 m/s his momentum is 43 kg * 4.7 m/s = 202.1 kg*m/s. Assuming that both Erica and Danny will be moving as a joined system, their combined mass is 38 kg + 43 kg = 81 kg. Since the momentum will be the same, their velocity will be 202.1 kg*m/s / 81 kg = 2.495061728 m/s. Since we only have 2 significant figures in the provided data, rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives a velocity of 2.5 m/s going upward.</span>

Answer: a. air pollution

c. hazardous wastes

d. potential reactor accident

e. water pollution

A nuclear energy is produced in a thermal power plant. A nuclear energy is produced in a nuclear reactor. In nuclear reactor nuclear fission reactions takes place in which an atoms absorbs energy from radiations and undergo fission and produces energy in the form of high intensity radiations along with heat. Although the fission reactions takes place in a nuclear reactor in a controlled way so that the radiation may not leak out from the reactor. The accidentally leak out radiations or explosion or bursting of the reactor due to uncontrolled thermal energy production can result in air pollution as the leak out air will cause bursting effects which will contaminate the air.

The nuclear waste are radioactive and are non-biodegradable these wastes are disposed off deep in geospheres and in water. They have potential to contaminate both land and water. Radioactive wastes can cause mutations in the genome of the organisms exposed to these wastes which generate deadly diseases and disorders.  Therefore, these wastes are hazardous.

A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

d = 2.54 [m]

Explanation:

Through the theorem of work and energy conservation, we can find the work that is done. Considering that the energy in the initial state is only kinetic energy, while the energy in the final state is also kinetic, however, this is zero since the body stops.

E_{k1}+W=E_{k2}\\

where:

W = work [J]

Ek1 = kinetic energy at initial state [J]

Ek2 = kinetic energy at the final state = 0.

We must remember that kinetic energy can be calculated by means of the following expression.

\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}-W=0\\W= \frac{1}{2} *4*(5)^{2}\\W= 50 [J]

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W=F*d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

But the friction force is equal to the product of the normal force (body weight) by the coefficient of friction.

f=m*g*0.5\\f = 4*9.81*0.5\\f = 19.62 [N]

Now solving the equation for the work.

d=W/F\\d = 50/19.62\\d = 2.54[m]
