How is biomass energy better than geothermal energy

Is this statement true or false? The next generation of nuclear power plants being built in California and South Africa are even

alexira [117]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Modern safer and cheaper nuclear reactors can not only meet the range of our long term energy demands, they can also fight global warming.

Modern techniques provide ways to reduce radioactive waste amount. "A closed fuel cycle may be switched on for new kinds of nuclear plants. Alternatively, the waste is chemically dissuaded to transform the reusable element into fuel. This implies that nuclear waste would not be buried.

A fixed system of charges exerts a force of magnitude 22 N on a 4.0 C charge. The 4.0 C charge is replaced with a 8.0 C charge.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

44 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic forces between two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is their separation

We notice that the force is directly proportional to the charges.

In this problem, initially we have a force of

F = 22 N

on a q2 = 4.0 C, exerted by a charge q1.

If the charge is doubled,

q2 = 8.0 C

This means that the force will also double, so it will be

$F=22 N \cdot 2 = 44 N$

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$ (1)

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the first medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}$

Where $v_2$ is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and $v_1$ the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2 < \theta_1$

This means that

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}$

And therefore,

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}$

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.

REMARKS The speed found in part (a) is the same as if the woman fell vertically through a distance of 21.9 m. The result of part

sasho [114]

Answer:

Yes, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.

Explanation:

The result that you are showing is the conservation of mechanical energy between two points in the upper one, the energy is only potential and the lower one is only kinetic.

In the case of some type of friction, the change in energy between the same points is equal to the work of the friction forces

$W_{fr}$ = ΔEm

$W_{fr}$ = $Em_{f}$ -Em₀

As we can see now there is another quantity and for which the final energy is lower and therefore the final speed would be less than what you found in the case without friction.

$Em_{f}$ = $W_{fr}$ + Em₀

Remember that the work of the rubbing force is negative, let's write the work of the rubbing force explicitly, to make it clearer

½ m v² = -fr d + mgh

v = √(-fr d 2/m + 2 gh)

v = √ (2gh - 2fr d/m)

Now it is clear that there is a decrease in the final body speed.

Consequently, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.
