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.

Just before it is struck by a racket, a tennis ball weighing 0.560 N has a velocity of (20.0m/s)ı^−(4.0m/s)ȷ^(20.0m/s)ı^−(4.0m/s

Answer:

(a) Jx = -1.14Ns, Jy = 110×3×10-³ = 0.330Ns (b) V = (0m/s)ı^−(1.79m/s)ȷ^

Explanation:

Given

W = 0.56N = mg

m = 0.56/g = 0.56/9.8 = 0.057kg

t = 3.00ms = 3.00×10-³s

Impulse is a vector quantity so we would treat it as such

We have been given the force and velocity in their component forms so to get the impulse from these quantities, we pick the respective component for the quantity we want to calculate and do the necessary calculation. The masses are scalar quantities and so do not affect the signs used in the calculations whether positive or negative. So we have that

u = (20.0m/s)ı^−(4.0m/s)ȷ^

ux = 20m/s

uy = – 4.0m/s

F = – (380N)ı^+(110N)ȷ^

Fx = –380N

Fy = 110N

J = impulse = force × time = F×t

So Jx = Fx ×t

Jy = Fy×t

Jx = –380×3×10-³ = -1.14Ns

Jy = 110×3×10-³ = 0.330Ns

Impulse also equals the change in momentum of the body. So

J = m(v–u)

J/m = v – u

V= J/m + u

Vx = Jx/m + ux

Vx = –1.14/0.057 + 20

Vx = -20 + 20 = 0m/s

Vx = 0m/s

Vy= Jy/m + uy

Vy= 0.33/0.057 + (-4.0)

Vy= 5.79 + (-4.0) = 1.79m/s

V = (0m/s)ı^−(1.79m/s)ȷ^

What in the atmosphere hold in the amount of heat needed to keep earth livable

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases keep our planet livable by holding onto some of Earth's heat energy so that it doesn't all escape into space. This heat trapping is known as the greenhouse effect. Just as too little greenhouse gas makes Earth too cold, too much greenhouse gas makes Earth too warm.
