Why are nuclear power plants controversial

Physics
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]3 years ago
8 0
I would have to say because while they do produce relatively clean power, it is extremely dangerous and overly harmful should one "melt down." Some people believe the reward is worth the risk, others do not. It is more a matter of perspective - are you near the nuclear power plant or not? If you are, chances are you won't like it - on the other hand, if you are not right hear the power plant you might like it more. I hope this helps!

P.S. - If you think I did a good job I would love it if you went to my YouTube channel to see if I can help you more there. I am just starting out and don't have much time to record, but I would love to have some user-submitted topics! Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG0zQcSsxZ2mu-OnZRdI2-Q. I hope to see you there!

A 2 kg object being pulled across the floor with a speed of 10 m/sec is suddenly
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The frictional force producing this deceleration would have a magnitude of 4\; \rm N.

Explanation:

The velocity of this object changed by \Delta v = (-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}) in \Delta t = 5\; \rm s. The acceleration of this object would be:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}}{5\; \rm s} = -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this object. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on this object would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= m \, a \\ &= 2\; \rm kg \times (-2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}) \\ &= -4\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

(1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} = 1\; {\rm N}.)

If the floor is level, friction would be the only unbalanced force on this object. Thus, the magnitude of the frictional force on this object would also be 4\; {\rm N}, same as the magnitude of the net force on this object.
