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.

There are two torques t1 and t2 on the beam due to the weights, one torque t3 due to the weight of the beam, and one torque t4 due to the string.

You need to figure out t4 to know the tension in the string.

Since the whole thing is not moving t1 + t2 + t3 = t4.

torque t = r * F * sinФ = distance from axis of rotation * force * sin (∡ between r and F)

t1 =3.2 * 44g 
t2 = 7 * 49g 
t3 = 3.5 * 24g 

t4 = t1 + t2 + t3 = 5570,118

The t4 also is given by:

t4 = r * T * sin Ф

r = 7
Ф = 32°
T: tension in the string

T = t4 / (r * sinФ)

T = t4 / (7 * sin(32°)) 

T = 1501,6 N

100 joule of heat produced each 1 secomd on 4ohm find the potential difference ​
irakobra [83]

Answer:

20 V

Explanation:

Power is 100 J/s or 100 W.

We know that P = IV = \frac{V^{2} }{R} .

Isolate the potential difference. V = \sqrt{RP} = \sqrt{100 * 4} = 20 V

nadezda [96]
Question is from B to C

Answer: (b) 1.5m/s

x1=3m, x2=9m
t1=1s, t2=5s
Displacement, ∆x=(9-3)m=6m
Time elapsed, ∆t=(5-1)s=4s

So average velocity v =∆x/∆t=6/4=1.5m/s

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph
timama [110]
If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>
