If you were going to build a nuclear power plant why wouldn't you build it in the middle of a desert

1 answer:

6 0

You won't be able to get enough water for the reactor core cooling (you can use other methods , but more expensive) . The desert temprature is high at day, which will require additional cooling techniques to avoid over-heating the plant. Transmitting the electricity to the industrial , commercial and residual areas will cost more money, as you will need more transmission lines. Transporting the fuel to the desert will cost more at most.

Mostly this plants are established near seas.

A football player weighing 110 kg and traveling at +6 m/s runs head on into another player who weighs 150 kg and is traveling a

Schach [20]

This is an <em>inelastic </em>collision. The equation for an inelastic collision is: $m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v_{f}$

(110)(6) + (150)(-4) = (110 + 150)(vf)

660 - 600 = 260vf

60 = 260vf

vf = 0.2308 m/s

They will travel in the positive direction, right, and their combined velocity will be 0.2308 m/s.

Hope this helps!! :)

5) Find the initial velocity for a 700 kg car that

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Δv = 12 m/s, but we are not given the direction, so there are really an infinite number of potential solutions.

Maximum initial speed is 40.6 m/s

Minimum initial speed is 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

Assume this is a NET impulse so we can ignore friction.

An impulse results in a change of momentum

The impulse applied was

p = Ft = 1400(6.0) = 8400 N•s

p = mΔv

Δv = 8400 / 700 = 12 m/s

If the impulse was applied in the direction the car was already moving, the initial velocity was

vi = 28.6 - 12 = 16.6 m/s

if the impulse was applied in the direction opposite of the original velocity, the initial velocity was

vi = 28.6 + 12 = 40.6 m/s

Other angles of Net force would result in various initial velocities.

A light source shines light consisting of two wavelengths, λ1 = 540 nm (green) and λ2 = 450 nm (blue), on two slits separated by

densk [106]

Answer:

The maximun distance is $z_1 = z_2 = 0.0138m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength are $\lambda _ 1 = 540nm (green) = 540 *10^{-9}m$

$\lambda_2 = 450nm(blue) = 450 *10^{-9}m$

The distance of seperation of the two slit is $d = 0.180mm = 0.180 *10^{-3}m$

The distance from the screen is $D = 1.53m$

Generally the distance of the bright fringe to the center of the screen is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{m \lambda D}{d}$

Where m is the order of the fringe

For the first wavelength we have

$z_1 = \frac{m_1 (549 *10^{-9} * (1.53))}{0.180*10^{-3}}$

$z_1=0.00459m_1 m$

$z_1= 4.6*10^{-3}m_1 m ----(1)$

For the second wavelength we have

$z_2 = m_2 \frac{450*10^{-9} * 1.53 }{0.180*10^{-3}}$

$z_2 = 0.003825m_2$

$z_2 = 3.825 *10^{-3} m_2 m$ ----(2)

From the question we are told that the two sides coincides with one another so

$zy_1 =z_2$

$4.6*10^{-3}m_1 m = 3.825 *10^{-3} m_2 m$

$\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{3.825 *10^{-3}}{4.6*10^{-3}}$

Hence for this equation to be solved

$m_1 = 3$

and $m_2 = 4$

Substituting this into the equation

$z_1 = z_2 = 3 * 4.6*10^{-3} = 4* 3.825*10^{-3}$

Hence $z_1 = z_2 = 0.0138m$
