Power plants can be powered by fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or nuclear power to produce steam to turn turbines to

generate electricity. Elaborate on why one might not choose nuclear power over the fossil fuel power plants.

<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>

A person walks the path shown below. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths.
dmitriy555 [2]

At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ =  63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

What must be the pressure difference between the two ends of a 2.6 km section of pipe, 36 cm in diameter, if it is to transport
ad-work [718]

Answer: 1.13(10)^{3} Pa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the following equation:

\Delta P=\frac{8 \eta L Q}{\pi r^{4}}

Where:

\Delta P is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe

\eta=0.20 Pa.s is the viscosity of oil

L=2.6 km=2600 m is the length of the pipe

Q=900 \frac{cm^{3}}{s} \frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}=0.0009 \frac{m^{3}}{s} is the Rate of flow of the fluid

d=36 cm=0.36 m is the diameter of the pipe

r=\frac{d}{2}=0.18 m is the radius of the pipe

Soving for \Delta P:

\Delta P=\frac{8 (0.20 Pa.s)(2600 m)(0.0009 \frac{m^{3}}{s})}{\pi (0.18 m)^{4}}

Finally:

\Delta P=1135.26 Pa \approx 1.13(10)^{3} Pa
