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

Physics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
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.

If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

Things you can do with an environmental engineering major and a broadcasting minor?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

With an  Environmental  Engineering  and a broadcasting minor

You can work as an On Air  personality that host  programs that provide your audience with  documentaries about the environments and project carried out by Environmental Engineer

and also you can work as a journalist that explore the world making research that will preserve the environment  and leveraging the media as a broadcaster to provide this research findings as a video for you audience  

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding let define some terms

Environmental Engineer :

Environmental engineers resolve and help prevent environmental problems. They work in many areas, including air pollution control, industrial hygiene, toxic materials control, and land management. The duties of an environmental engineer range from planning and designing an effective waste treatment plant to studying the effects of acid rain on a particular area. An environmental engineer is sometimes required to work outdoors, though most of her work is done in a laboratory or office setting. Career opportunities for environmental engineers exist in consulting, research, corporate, and government positions.

Broadcasting:

Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model.

It takes 52,000 Joules to heat a cup of coffee to boiling from room temperature. How long a piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil wo
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m, is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Heat Energy = 52000 J

Dielectric Constant of the plastic Bag = 3.7 = K

Thickness = 2.6 x 10^{5} m =d

V = 610 volts

A = width x Length

width = 20 cm = 20 x 10^{-2} m

Length = ?

So,

we know that,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}

U = 52000 J

C = ?

V = 610 volts'

So,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}  

52000 J = (0.5) x (C) x (610^{2})

C = 0.28 F

And we also know that,

C = \frac{K*E*A}{d}

E = 8.85 x 10 ^{-12}

K = 3.7

A = 0.20 x L

d = 2.6 x 10^{5} m

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

0.28 = \frac{3.7 * 8.85 .10^{-12} * (0.20 . L) }{2.6 . 10^{5} }

Solving for L, we get:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m,

is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.
