Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a nuclear power plants ends its operating life, it is necessary to dispose correctly all the radioactive material left from the operations of the power plant.

In fact, apart from the fuel rods (which contain the uranium that is the fuel of the nuclear reactions), other materials of the core (such as the vessel) becomes radioactive due to the prolonged exposure to the products of nuclear reactions in the core.

As a result, all these materials remain radioactive for very long time (hundreds or thousands of years). It is therefore important to dispose them correctly, in proper sealed containers which are able to shield the radiation emitted by these radioactive element (alpha, beta and gamma radiation).

Therefore, "waste from nuclear power plants must be disposed of in radioactively shielded storage containers" is a correct statement.

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and becomes fully charged. The capacitor is then disconnected, and the sepa
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance is as follows as;

C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, \epsilon _{0} is the permittivity of free space, A is the area and d is the distance between the parallel plate capacitor.

It can be concluded from the above expression, the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance. According to the given problem, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the distance between the plates is increased. Then, the capacitance of the given capacitor will decrease in this case.

The expression for the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor is as follows;

E=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

Here, E is the energy stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance and Q is the charge.

Energy stored in the given capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is constant. In the given problem, as the distance between the parallel plates is being separated, the energy stored in this capacitor increases.

Therefore, the option (c) is correct.

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?
uranmaximum [27]
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

A student heats a liquid on a burner. What happens to the portion of liquid that first begins to warm? Check all that apply.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The answers are options B,D and E

Explanation:

B) The particles in the liquid are slowly overcoming the forces of attraction and spreading out due to the thermal energy they are absorbing. This makes the liquid less dense as it slowly changes into a gas after reaching its boiling point.

D) The particles start absorbing the energy form the surroundings as latent heat of evaporation. They need this energy to overcome the strong forces of attraction between particles to change into the gaseous state

E) The particles have spaced out due to the thermal energy absorbed, making the liquid lighter and it rises upwards.
