Nuclear energy has some advantages over traditional methods of producing electricity. It has little impact on air quality and is more efficient than traditional methods of producing electricity. It does, however, use a nonrenewable resource, uranium. Uranium must be mined just like coal, which does have detrimental effects on the environment. Nuclear power plants also produce radioactive waste, which leads to difficulties in storage. Also, nuclear power plants use large amounts of water and can contribute to thermal pollution.

Of the following, ________ should have the highest critical temperature. Of the following, ________ should have the highest crit
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

H2

Explanation:

Critical temperature is the temperature above which gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied.

Critical temperature directly depends on the force of attraction between atoms, it means stronger the force of higher will be the critical temperature. So, from the given options H2 should have the highest critical temperature because of high attractive forces due to H bonding.

Hence, the correct option is H2.

iron has a density of 7.86 g cm3 could a block of metal with a mass of 18.2 and a volume of 2.56 cm^3 be iron?
satela [25.4K]

The density of the block will be "7.11 gm/cm³". A further explanation is provided below.

Given values are:

Density of iron,

  • 7.86 \ g/cm^3

Mass of block of metal,

  • 18.2 \ gm

Volume of block,

  • 2.56 \ cm^3

By using the formula,

→ Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

then,

→ The density of block will be:

= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

= \frac{18.2}{2.56}

= 7.11 \ gm/cm^3

"Work done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force" -textbook

There is work done ONLY if the direction of the force and the direction the item is moving are the same. In figure A, the direction of the force (the lifting) is upwards (defying gravity), and the book is moving upwards, so work is done. In figure B, the force is still moving upwards (the person is carrying the books) but the book is moving to the right, so there is NO work done.
