Over the last several decades, scientists have addressed the problem of nonrenewable natural resources such as fossil fuels. Hum

ans are using fossil fuels at a rapid rate and scientists believe that one day we will run out of them. To solve this problem, research has been conducted on alternative energy sources. One alternative energy source is nuclear energy. Although nuclear energy is a good solution to this problem, there are concerns.
Which of these is NOT a benefit of nuclear energy?


A) fossils fuels are not required
B) does not contribute to global warming
C) presence of hazardous radioactive materials
Eliminate
D) little carbon emissions released into the air

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The nuclear energy is defined as a type of energy which liberates either by the process of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and is mainly used to generate electricity. This energy is stored in the core of an atom (or nucleus).

It is highly effective, cost-effective and there is no emission of greenhouse gases.

But it also has some disadvantages, of which one is that it produces radioactive waste materials, which are difficult to dispose these substances and is also a very expensive method. These materials emit radiations that are harmful to the organisms. So, it is very challenging to dispose these radioactive waste materials.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i = E_f

so:

wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

In which of the two situations described is more energy transferred?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

More energy is transferred in situation A

Explanation:

Each of the situations are analyzed as follows;

Situation A

The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 40 °C

The temperature of the interior of the freezer in which the chocolate is placed = -20 °C

We note that at 0°C, the water in the chocolate freezes

The energy transferred by the chocolate to the freezer before freezing is given approximately as follows;

E₁ = m×c₁×ΔT₁

Where;

m = The mass of the chocolate

c₁ = The specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/(kg·K)

ΔT₁ = The change in temperature from 40 °C to 0°C

Therefore, we have;

E₁ = m×4.184×(40 - 0) = 167.360·m kJ

The heat the coffee gives to turn to ice is given as follows;

E₂ = m·H_f

Where;

H_f = The latent heat of fusion = 334 kJ/kg

∴ E₂ = m × 334 kJ/kg = 334·m kJ

The heat required to cool the frozen ice to -20 °C is given as follows;

E₃ = m·c₂·ΔT₂

Where;

c₂ = The specific heat capacity of ice = 2.108 kJ/(kg·K)

Therefore, we have;

E₃ = m × 2.108 ×(0 - (-20)) = 42.16

E₃ = 42.16·m kJ/(kg·K)

The total heat transferred = (167.360 + 334 + 42.16)·m kJ/(kg·K) = 543.52·m kJ/(kg·K)

Situation B

The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 90 °C

The temperature of the room in which the chocolate is placed = 25 °C

The heat transferred by the hot cup of coffee, E, is given as follows;

E = m×4.184×(90 - 25) = 271.96

∴ E = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)

Therefore, the total heat transferred in situation A is approximately twice the heat transferred in situation B and is therefore more than the heat transferred in situation B

Energy transferred in situation A = 543.52 kJ/(kg·K)

Energy transferred in situation B = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)

Energy transferred in situation A ≈ 2 × Energy transferred in situation B

∴ Energy transferred in situation A > Energy transferred in situation B.

lisov135 [29]
So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2(3.14)/T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2(3.14)r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.

A stone is thrown towards a wall with an initial velocity of v0=19m/s and an angle = 71 with the horizontal, as illustrated in t
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) 2.85 m

(b) 16.5 m

(c) 21.7 m

(d) 22.7 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ₓ = 19 cos 71° m/s

v₀ᵧ = 19 sin 71° m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

(a) Find Δy when t = 3.5 s.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (19 sin 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δy = 2.85 m

(b) Find Δy when vᵧ = 0 m/s.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2 aᵧ Δy

(0 m/s)² = (19 sin 71° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 16.5 m

(c) Find Δx when t = 3.5 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δx = 21.7 m

(d) Find Δx when Δy = 0 m.

First, find t when Δy = 0 m.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (19 sin 71° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = t (18.0 − 4.9 t)

t = 3.67

Next, find Δx when t = 3.67 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.67 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.67 s)²

Δx = 22.7 m
