Nuclear energy is more harmful to the environment than a coal-fired power plant because it produces more mercury, air pollution,

and carbon dioxide. True False

A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.

A pillow with mass of 0.3 kg sits on a bed with a coefficient of static friction of 0.6. What is the maximum force of static fri

lys-0071 [83]

The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.

P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity

P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

Solving for the static friction force (F),
F = P x c

F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a

Elza [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

You hear a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. The amplitude of the sound increases and decreases periodically: it takes 2 seconds

german

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.

The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{T}$

Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{2}$

$f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|\\f_{beat} = |256Hz-2Hz|\\f_{beat} = 254Hz$

<em>Hence option A is incorrect.</em>

We can do this process for 254Hz as $f_1$ and 258 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|254Hz-258Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 4Hz$

<em>Hence option B is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255Hz as $f_1$ and 257 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255Hz-257Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 2Hz$

<em>Hence option C is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then

$f_{beat} =|255.5Hz-256.5Hz|\\f_{beat} = 1Hz$

<em>Hence option D is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as $f_1$ and 256.25 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255.75Hz-256.25Hz|\\f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

<em>Hence option E is incorrect. </em>

Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz

A car travels from Bangalore to Mumbai and returns back on 20 hrs. What is the average velocity and average speed of the car if

irinina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average speed= Total distance/ Total time

Initial reading= 2200

final reading= 3800

total distance= Final reading -initial reading = 3800-2200 = 1600 km

total time= 20 hrs

Average speed= 1600/20

= 80 km/hr

CONVERTING km/hr TO m/s

To convert km/hr to m/s just multiply

Recall that,

1000m = 1 km

60 secs = 1 min

60 mins = 1 hr

( 80 × 1000 ) meters / ( 60×60 ) secs

80000m / 3600s

= 22.22m/s
