Emit greenhouse gases

Explanation:

Nuclear power is regarded as a clean energy source because it doesn't produce or emit greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases are mostly generated by the use of fossil fuels that pollutes the environment causing surging global temperature.

Nuclear power is produced by the splitting of radioactive minerals in rods. The process releases a large amount of energy. When the fuel elapses, only radioactive wastes remains.

There is no production of any greenhouse gas in the process of harnessing nuclear energy.

This is why it is considered a clean energy source.

Impulse describes the change of momentum. Since we don't know the momentum of the soccer ball before the hit, this question is hard to answer. If you assume the momentum of the ball before the hit was p = 0, then the change in momentum is just Δp = Impulse = mv.

A 35-mm single lens reflex (SLR) digital camera is using a lens of focal length 35.0 mm to photograph a person who is 1.80 m tal

olganol [36]

Answer:

a) 35.44 mm

b) 17.67 mm

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 3.6 m

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 35 mm

$h_u$ = Object height = 1.8 m

a) Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35}-\frac{1}{3600}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{713}{25200} \\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25200}{713}=35.34\ mm$

The CCD sensor is 35.34 mm from the lens

b) Magnification

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{35.34}{3600}$

$m=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{35.34}{3600}=\frac{h_v}{1800}\\\Rightarrow h_v=-\frac{35.34}{3600}\times 1800=-17.67\ mm$

The person appears 17.67 mm tall on the sensor

Marysya12 [62]

<span>its kinetic energy is 7350kJ
</span>

Kinetic energy is given as = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

Now, m = 12 gms = 0.012 kg
And, velocity = 35 kilometers/second = 35000 m/sec

Kinetic energy is given as = $\frac{1}{2} 0.012 kg * 35000*35000 m/[tex] s^{2}$
= 6 $10^{-2}$ ×1225 × $10^{6}$ m/ $s^{2}$
= 7350 kJ
