<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a) 5.00 x 10^8 J

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The work done to move the sailboat is calculated through the equation;

W = F x d

where F is force and d is the distance.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

                             W = (5.00 x 10⁴ N)(10 km)(1000 m/ 1km)

                                 = 5.00 x 10⁸ J

Thus, the work done is <u>5.00 x 10⁸Joules</u>

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.

What is the force in N of an object that has a mass of 7 kilograms and an acceleration of 4 m/s/s
VMariaS [17]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:         Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If you want to move a 7-kg object with an acceleration of 4 m/s²,
then you will need to push it with (7 x 4) = 28 newtons of force.

The tension of a guitar string is increased by 40%. By what factor odes the fundamental frequency of vibration change? a. 1.13 b
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<h3> b. 1.18</h3>

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in string is expressed as;

F1 = 1/2L√T/m .... 1

L is the length of the string

T is the tension

m is the mass per unit length

If the tension is increased by 40%, the new tension will be;

T2 = T + 40%T

T2 = T + 0.4T

T2 = 1.4T

The new fundamental frequency will be;

F2 = 1/2L√1.4T/m ..... 2

Divide 1 by 2;

F2/F = (1/2L√1.4T/m)/1/2L√T/m)+

F2/F = √1.4T/m ÷ √T/m

F2/F = √1.4T/√m ×√m/√T

F2/F = √1.4T/√T

F2/F = 1.18√T/√T

F2/F = 1.18

F2 = 1.18F

Hence the fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of 1.18

Answer:

D

Explanation:

f = ma

2 x 12 = 24

answer could differ since it's rolling down a ramp. if an angle is given our approach differs.
