At the beginning of the 3 sec, its speed is 10 m/s.

Over the course of 3 sec, gravity adds (9.8 x 3) = 29.4 m/s
to its speed, so its speed after 3 sec is (10 + 29.4) = 39.4 m/s.

Its average speed during the 3 sec is

                               (1/2) (10 + 39.4) 

                           =  (1/2) (49.4)  =  24.7 m/s .

In 3 sec, at an average speed of 24.7 m/s,
the rock travels

                     (3) x (24.7) = 74.1 meters.

If there's no air resistance in its path, then it was thrown
from 74.1 meters above the ground.

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.
