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

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 crate of 890 kg gets raised to a height of 2.1m. Calculate the crate's gravitational potential energy.​
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

18,316.2

Explanation:

The formula for GPE is mgh, where

M = Mass of the object

G = Acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth)

H = Height above ground

890 × 9.8 × 2.1 = 18,316.2

A particle at 9 AM is moving towards the east at 4 ms At 12 noon, it changes its velocity and starts moving towards the north un
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration and velocity are vectors

If east and north are the positive directions, the east moving vector is reduced to zero and the north moving vector increases from zero to 4 m/s.

There are 3 hours or 10800 seconds between 10 AM and 1 PM

a1 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 10800 m/s² ≈ 4.2 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

There are 14400 seconds between 10 AM and 2 PM

The velocity changes are still the same

a2 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 14400 m/s² ≈ 3.9 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

The equation for distance is d = st i. If a car has a speed of 22.3 m/s and drives for 8.5 seconds, how far does it go? (1 point
Vladimir79 [104]

distance(d) = speed(s) × time (t)

= 22.3 × 8.5

= 189.55m

What does it mean when work is positive?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. An object did work on the environment.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Work is defined in many contexts. Some of these are;

i. <em>Work is the product of force and displacement</em>. In this case, work done is positive if the force applied on an object or body and the displacement caused by the force are in the same direction. If instead the force and displacement are in opposite direction, then the work done will be negative. If it is the case the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done is zero.

ii. In the first law of thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the sum of the work done and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment. Therefore, <em>work done is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment</em>.

In this case, work is said to be positive if work is done by the system (object) on the environment. It is negative if work is done by the environment on the system (object).
