The waste products of a nuclear fission power plant can best be described as radioactive waste.
These are the by-products from the processes carried out that produce nuclear energy. This type of waste is highly dangerous. A lot of attention has to be paid to the collection and disposal of this waste as it must not reach any near by water bodies for example. It can be deadly for life.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula to be used here is

ω = 2π/T

Where ω is the angular frequency (in rad/s)

T is the period - the time taken for Block A to complete one oscillation and return to it's original position.

To solve for this period T, the formula below should be used

T = 2π√m/k

where m is the mass of the object (Block A) and k is the spring constant (281 J/m²)

In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co

labwork [276]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

$m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m$

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

$v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s$

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

$v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s$

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

$\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm$

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = $10ms^{-2}$ , F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = $4ms^{-1}$ , r = 4m, F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

$\frac{3*4^{2} }{4}$ = 12N

3) a = $10ms^{-2}$ , r = 10m, v=?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

$\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = $\sqrt{ar}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= 10 $ms^{-1}$

4) r = 10m, v = $5ms^{-1}$ , a = ?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a = 25/10 = 2.5 $ms^{-2}$

8) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is tripled

F = $(3v)^{2}$

F = 9 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is doubled

F = $(2v)^{2}$

F = 4 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was

Which type of reaction occurs without being started by some outside force?

Nostrana [21]

A spontaneous reaction is a term that is best describe to a type of reaction wherein it is started without even with the help of an outside force. In addition to that, this kind of reaction is commonly driven by the forces of enthalpy and entropy which are essential concepts to thermodynamics.
