The development of nuclear power has provided electricity for less money, but at a cost. What may be considered a "cost" of nucl

ear power?

Nuclear power generates alot of power, ALOT. It requires Uranium and other radioactive substances to power it, which over time can degrade and become depleted. This radioactive waste would have to be placed somewhere, and it accumulates over time slowly.

You are throwing a stone straight-up in the absence of air friction. The stone is caught at the same height from which it was th

balu736 [363]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

When a stone is thrown straight-up, it has an initial velocity which decreases gradually as the stone move to maximum height due to constant acceleration due to gravity acting downward on the stone, at the maximum height the final velocity of the stone is zero. As the stone descends the velocity starts to increase and becomes maximum before it hits the ground.

Height of the motion is given by;

$H = \frac{u^2}{2g}$

g is acceleration due to gravity which is constant

H is height traveled

u is the speed of throw, which determines the value of height traveled.

Therefore, when the stone is caught at the same height from which it was thrown in the absence of air resistance, the speed of the stone when thrown will be equal to the speed when caught.

Answer:

The value is $C = 30729\ c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating of the stove is $P = 4.4 KW = 4.4 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_1 = 70 \ minutes = 1.167 \ hours$

The rating of the light bulbs is $P_2' = 150 W$

The number is $n = 7$

The power rating of the total bulb is $P_2 = 7 * 150 = 1050 \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_2 = 7 hours$

The power rating of miscellaneous appliance $P_3 = 1.8 \ KW = 1.8 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_3 = 1 hour$

The power rating of hot water $P = 4 KW = 4 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_4 = 120 \ minutes = 2 hours$

Generally the total electrical energy used in 1 month is mathematically represented as

$E = P_1 * t_1 * 30 + P_2 * t_2 * 30 + P_3 * t_3 * 30+ P_4 * t_4 * 30$

=> $E = 4.4*10^{3} * 1.167 * 30 + 1050 * 7 * 30 + 1.8 *1 * 30+ 4*10^{3} * 2 * 30$

=> $E = 614598 \ W \cdot h$

=> $E = 614.6 \ K W \cdot h$

Generally the monthly electricity bill is mathematically represented as

$C = 614.6 * 50$

=> $C = 30729\ c$

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bu

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$ M

Explanation:

To apply the concept of <u>angular momentum conservation</u>, there should be no external torque before and after

As the <u>asteroid is travelling directly towards the center of the Earth</u>, after impact ,it <u>does not impose any torque on earth's rotation,</u> So angular momentum of earth is conserved

⇒ $I_{1} \times W_{1} =I_{2} \times W_{2}$

$I_{1}$ is the moment of interia of earth before impact
$W_{1}$ is the angular velocity of earth about an axis passing through the center of earth before impact
$I_{2}$ is moment of interia of earth and asteroid system
$W_{2}$ is the angular velocity of earth and asteroid system about the same axis

let $W_{1}=W$

since $\text{Time period of rotation}∝$ $\frac{1}{\text{Angular velocity}}$

⇒ if time period is to increase by 25%, which is $\frac{5}{4}$ times, the angular velocity decreases 25% which is $\frac{4}{5}$ times

therefore $W_{1}$ $=$ $\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1}$

$I_{1}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ (moment of inertia of solid sphere)

where M is mass of earth

R is radius of earth

$I_{2}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}+M_{1}\times R^{2}$

(As given asteroid is very small compared to earth, we assume it be a particle compared to earth, therefore by parallel axis theorem we find its moment of inertia with respect to axis)

where $M_{1}$ is mass of asteroid

⇒ $\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2} \times W_{1}=}(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ $+$ $M_{1}\times R^{2})\times(\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1})$

$\frac{1}{2} \times M\times R^{2}$ = $(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ + $M_{1}\times R^{2})$

$M_{1}\times R^{2}=$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M\times R^{2}$

⇒ $M_{1}=}$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M$
