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>

Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

What is wavelength ?

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.  It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.  The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda () is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

Answer:

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.

Explanation:

From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:

\vec F_{1} + \vec F_{2} + \vec F_{3} = \vec O (1)

Where:

\vec F_{1}, \vec F_{2}, \vec F_{3} - External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.

\vec O - Vector zero, measured in newtons.

If we know that \vec F_{1} = (70.711,70.711)\,[N], \vec F_{2} = (-126.859, 46.173)\,[N], F_{3} = (F_{3,x},F_{3,y}) and \vec O = (0,0)\,[N], then we construct the following system of linear equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = 70.711\,N - 126.859\,N +F_{3,x} = 0\,N (2)

\Sigma F_{y} = 70.711\,N + 46.173\,N+F_{3,y} = 0\,N (3)

The solution of this system is:

F_{3,x} = 56.148\,N, F_{3,y} = -116.884\,N

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.
