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.

which of the glass lenses above, when placed in air, will cause rays of light (parallel to the central axis) to converge?
777dan777 [17]

Convex lenses when placed in the air, will cause rays of light (parallel to the central axis) to converge.

Converging lenses, commonly referred to as convex lenses, have thicker centers and narrower upper and lower margins. The edges are outwardly curled. This lens has the ability to concentrate a beam of parallel light rays coming from the outside onto a spot on the opposite side of the lens.

The image created is referred to be a genuine image when it is inverted relative to the object. On a screen, this kind of image can be recorded. When the object is positioned at a point farther than one focal length from the lens, a converging lens creates a true image.

A virtual image is one that cannot be produced on a screen and is formed when the image is upright in relation to the object. When an item is positioned within one focal length of a converging lens, a virtual image is created. It creates an enlarged image of the object on the same side of the lens as the image. It serves as a magnifier.

If there are 1.61 kilometers/mile, and one mile is 5280 feet, how many feet are there in 0.750 kilometers?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

  0.750\ Km = 2459.63\ ft

Explanation:

given,

1 mile = 1.61 Km

1 mile = 5280 ft

we have to find, ft in 0.750 Km = ?

From the given condition in the question

we can say that

  1.61 Km = 5280 ft

  1\ Km = \dfrac{5280}{1.60}\ ft

  1\ Km = 3279.503\ ft

  0.750\ Km = 0.750\times 3279.503\ ft

  0.750\ Km = 2459.63\ ft

Hence, 2459.63 ft are there in 0.750 kilometers.
