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>

Why does the solar system consist of small planets orbiting close to sun and larger on more distant
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system,  the  inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun.  The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.  The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an  asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets.  If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking.  The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.

If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

F_s = \mu_s N

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

F_k = \mu_k N

now we know that

\mu_k < \mu_s

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N
