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>

Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to r^2 where r is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being 4\pi
S =4\pi r^2
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be 
S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

A hydrogen atom that has an electron in the n = 2 state absorbs a photon. What wavelength must the photon possess to send the el
Deffense [45]

Answer:

486nm

Explanation:

in order for an electron to transit from one level to another, the wavelength emitted is given by Rydberg Equation which states that

\frac{1}{wavelength}=R.[\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2} } -\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2} }] \\n_{f}=2\\n_{i}=4\\R=Rydberg constant =1.097*10^{7}m^{-1}\\subtitiute \\\frac{1}{wavelength}=1.097*10^{7}[\frac{1}{2^{2} } -\frac{1}{4^{2}}]\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 1.097*10^{7}*0.1875\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 2.06*10^{6}\\wavelength=4.86*10{-7}m\\wavelength= 486nm\\

Hence the photon must possess a wavelength of 486nm in order to send the electron to the n=4 state

A tree is 257 ft high. To the nearest tenth of a meter, how tall is it in meters? There are 3.28 ft in 1 m.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Height of tree = 78.35 meters.

Explanation:

We have

          1 meter = 3.28 feet

That is

          1 ft = \frac{1}{3.28}=0.3048m

Here height of tree = 257 ft

Height of tree = 257 x 0.3048 = 78.35 m

Height of tree = 78.35 meters.
