PHYSICAL SCIENCE : What are the advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear energy to generate electricity?

1 answer:

4 0

Nuclear energy is EXTREMELY ecofriendly, punching down any fossil fuels and even wind energy. It also is reliable, and has low emissions. However, nuclear energy is somewhat expensive and can go wrong, being dangerous to the environment and people. Along with this, uranium is finite and radioactive waste disposal is really bad.

A lightweight vertical spring of force constant k has its lower end mounted on a table. You compress the spring by a distance d,

shusha [124]

Answer:

$v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can do an analysis of the energies involved in the system. Basically the addition of the initial potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the mass should be the same as the addition of the final potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the block. So we get the following equation:

$U_{0}+K_{0}=U_{f}+K_{f}$

In this case, since the block is moving from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. When the block loses contact with the spring, the final potential energy of the spring will be zero, so the equation simplifies to:

$U_{0}=K_{f}$

The initial potential energy of the spring is given by the equation:

$U_{0}=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}$

the Kinetic energy of the block is then given by the equation:

$K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}$

so we can now set them both equal to each other, so we get:

$=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}$

This new equation can be simplified if we multiplied both sides of the equation by a 2, so we get:

$kd^{2}=mv_{f}^{2}$

so now we can solve this for the final velocity, so we get:

$v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2$

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>
