A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?

Physics

Answer:

Concrete and Asphalt are much rougher surfaces and have a higher coefficient of friction because they generate more resistance to an object in motion. Ice has less friction and less energy is lost to heat, causing the puck to slide much further.

When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.

Consider two tubes filled with water at the same height, one with fresh water and the other tube with salt water. The pressure i
Olegator [25]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The correct option for the question is B that is salt water. In salt water, the density of water is higher so the pressure at the end of tube containing salt water will be greater. As according to the hydrostatic law the pressure at a given point will be directly proportional to the distance travelled as well.

25. You are asked to find the area of a room that is 4.56 m long and 5.668 m wide. How many significant
just olya [345]

Answer:

Option B

3

Explanation:

The two dimensions have the following significant numbers

4.56- 3 significant numbers

5.668- 4 significant figures

When responding, we give area as per the most precise number given hence the smallest (most precise) significant figures in these two numbers is 3. Therefore, the area will be given to 3 significant figures ie

4.56*5.668=25.84608  square meters

Area=25.8 square meters

Why is it difficult to develop a policy for the disposal of spent fuel rods? (1 point)
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The rods remain radioactive for thousands of years, so storage is a difficult problem.

Explanation:

Fuel rods represents the main element of the reactor core of a nuclear power plant.

They contain uranium-238 (U-238) enriched with uranium-235 (U-235), which is very unstable; when the nuclei of uranium absorb slow neutrons, they undergo nuclear fission, breaking apart and releasing huge amounts of energy.

In the process, several neutrons are released alongside with other products, and when they are slown down, they can be absorbed by other nuclei of uranium, further inducing more fissions.

The half-life of U-238 is 4.5 billion years, while the half-life of U-235 is approx. 700 million years: this means that the fuel rods remain highly radioactive for a very long time. Therefore, it is necessary to properly dispose them in a safe place where they do not represent a hazard. For instance, fuel rods: for example, they can be placed in sealed containers (built using concrete/steel to shield from the radiation) and buried underground.
