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>

Answer:

Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 2.5m/s

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

Time, t = 6secs

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion

V = U + at

Substituting into the equation, we have

V = 2.5 + 1.5*6

V = 2.5 + 9

Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s

Calculate the force needed to accelerate a car of a mass 1000 kg by 3 m/s2
beks73 [17]

Answer:

<h2>3000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1000 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>3000 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A spring with spring constant 15.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is suspended from the spring and allowed to come to rest.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

A) 138.8g

B)73.97 cm/s

Explanation:

K = 15.5 Kn/m

A = 7 cm

N = 37 oscillations

tn = 20 seconds

A) In harmonic motion, we know that;

ω² = k/m and m = k/ω²

Also, angular frequency (ω) = 2π/T

Now, T is the time it takes to complete one oscillation.

So from the question, we can calculate T as;

T = 22/37.

Thus ;

ω = 2π/(22/37) = 10.5672

So,mass of ball (m) = k/ω² = 15.5/10.5672² = 0.1388kg or 138.8g

B) In simple harmonic motion, velocity is given as;

v(t) = vmax Sin (ωt + Φ)

It is from the derivative of;

v(t) = -Aω Sin (ωt + Φ)

So comparing the two equations of v(t), we can see that ;

vmax = Aω

Vmax = 7 x 10.5672 = 73.97 cm/s

Which of the following is a quantitative observation?
liubo4ka [24]

The statement that is a quantitative observation is that bird has four different colors on it (option B).

<h3>What is a quantitative research?</h3>

A quantitative research is a systematic scientific investigation of quantitative properties and phenomena and their relationships, using statistical methods.

A quantitative observation has to do with numbers or numeric analysis.

This suggests that the statement that is a quantitative observation is that bird has four different colors on it.

A ball is thrown vertically downward at 10 m/s. what is it’s speed 1s and 2s later
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

20 m/s

30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = -10 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

When t = 1 s:

v = v₀ + at

v = (-10 m/s) + (-9.8 m/s²) (1 s)

v = -19.8 m/s

When t = 2 s:

v = v₀ + at

v = (-10 m/s) + (-9.8 m/s²) (2 s)

v = -29.6 m/s

Rounded to one significant figures, the speed of the ball at 1 s and 2 s is 20 m/s and 30 m/s, respectively.
