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.

Two men are standing on a frictionless ice surface holding opposite ends of a rope. One man (mass = 80 kg) pulls on the rope wit

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of man 1 and 2 is $3.125\ m/s^2$ and $4.167\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Mass of man 1, m₁ = 80 kg

Mass of man 2, m₂ = 60 kg

One man pulls on the rope with a force of 250 N.

Let a₁ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₁a₁

$a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{250}{80}\\\\a_1=3.125\ m/s^2$

Let a₂ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₂a₂

$a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{250}{60}\\\\a_2=4.167\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of man 1 and 2 is $3.125\ m/s^2$ and $4.167\ m/s^2$ .

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m( $\frac{v_{2} - v_{1} }{t}$ )

⇒ Ft = m( $v_{2}$ - $v_{1}$ )

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, $v_{1}$ is its initialvelocity and $v_{2}$ is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m( $v_{2}$ - $v_{1}$ )

From the question, m = 3kg, $v_{1}$ = 0m/s and $v_{2}$ = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

= 3(20)

= 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Commercials for a toy bouncy ball advertise that it will bounce to a height that is greater than the

storchak [24]

Answer:

because energy will be lost due to friction, sound, and heat (arguably similar to friction) and ENERGY MUST STAY THE SAME so it is IMPOSSIBLE for the ball to bounce higher than when dropped!

A skateboarder is skating back and forth on the halfpipe as seen below. As he skates his energy transforms from potential energy

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that in absence of frictional forces, the mechanical energy of an object (given by the sum of its kinetic and potential energy) is conserved. In such a situation, the skateboarder would never stop his motion, because potential energy is continuously converted into kinetic energy and vice-versa, but the total energy remains the same so he would never stop.

In a real world, however, this is not true. In fact, in a real world some frictional force are present, in particular:

- friction: this force is due to the contact between the skateboard and the surface of the halfpipe, and its direction is always opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

- Air resistance: this force is due to the resistance opposed by the molecules of air that the skateboarder meets during his motion, and its direction is also opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

This two forces are said to be non-conservative forces, which means that they cause some of the mechanical energy of the skateboarder to be "lost", in the sense that it is dissipated as heat and it is no longer available for the skateboarder.

Therefore, the correct option is

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.
