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>

An ice skater of mass m = 60 kg coasts at a speed of v = 0.8 m/s past a pole. At the distance of closest approach, her center of
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

1.78 rad/s

1.70344 rad/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 0.8 m/s

m = Mass of person = 60 kg

r_1 = Distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.45 m

r_2 = New distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.46 m

I = Moment of inertia

Angular speed is given by

\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=1.78\ rad/s

The angular speed is 1.78 rad/s

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_1=L_2\\\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow mr_1^2\omega_1=mr_2^2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{r_1^2\omega_1}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.70344\ rad/s

The new angular speed is 1.70344 rad/s

A 60 kg sprinter has a momentum of +600 kg-m/s when he crosses the finish
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

10 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motion

In terms of an equation,

Momentum (P) = Mass(m)×velocity(v)

                     P = m×v

                 600 = 60 × v ⇒ v = 10 ms⁻¹
