Answer:

Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate radioactive waste, a critical factor when doing a fossil fuel to nuclear power pollution comparison.

A skydiver of mass 87 kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 355 N of force on him as he falls, what is the net force

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

497.6 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The net force on the skydiver = weight of the skydiver- the resistive force of air

F' = W-F...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the skydiver, F = resistive force of air.

But,

W = mg................ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the skydiver, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F' = mg-F............ Equation 3

Given: m = 87 kg, F = 355 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

F' = 87(9.8)-355

F' = 852.6-355

F' = 487.6 N

To determine an athlete's body fat, she is weighed first in air and then again while she's completely underwater. it is found th

il63 [147K]

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

A cylinder with initial volume V contains a sample of gas at pressure p. On one end of the cylinder, a piston is let free to mov

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The work done on the gas = 2PV

Explanation:

In this question, we need to apply the basic gas laws to determine the word done.

For this question, we need to draw a PV diagram (a pressure-volume diagram), which I have made and attached in the attachment. So please refer to that attachment. I will be using this diagram to solve for the work done on the gas.

So, Please refer to the attachment number 1. where x -axis is of volume and y-axis is of pressure.

As we know that, the work done on the gas is equal to the area under the curve.

W = Area of the triangle

W = 0.5 x ( base) x ( height)

W = 0.5 x (BC) x (AC)

W = 0.5 x (3V-V) x (3P-P)

W = 2PV

Hence, the work done on the gas = 2PV

A concave lens can only form a. A. real image. B. reversed image. C. virtual image. D. magnified image.

Umnica [9.8K]

A concave lens can only form a virtual image. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". Concave lenses are mostly thinner in the middle compared to its edges. I hope that this answer has come to your help.
