9. The acceleration due to gravity on the

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.

Alexeev081 [22]

Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.


Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m

sergey [27]

Answer:

$v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of vehicle, $m=1350\ kg$

radius of curvature, $r=71\ m$

coefficient of friction, $\mu=0.23$

During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:

$m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N$

where:

$\mu=$ coefficient of friction

$N=$ normal reaction force due to weight of the car

$v=$ velocity of the car

$1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)$

$v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}$ is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.

A freight car with a mass of 10 metric tons is rolling at 108 km/h along a level track when it collides with another freight car

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

20 metric tons

Explanation:

Using the Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum which states that the total momentum of a system is constant in any direction in which no external force acts.

momentum before collision= momentum after collision

mathematically expressed as

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2 =0

where:

m1= mass of rolling freight car = 10 metric tons = 10Mg

1 ton = 1000kg= 1Mg

u1 =initial velocity of freight car = 108km/h,

m2 = mass of stationary freight car = ?, this the unknown we are finding

u2 = initial velocity of

m2 = 0, because it is at rest,

v1= final velocity of m1,

v2= final velocity of m2

since they move together in the same direction they share a common final velocity as such

v1=v2= 36km/h

substituting valves in expression give

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2= 0

10Mgx 108km/hr + m2 x 0 = 10Mg x 36km/h + m2x36km/h

1080( Mg x km/hr) + 0 = 360 (Mg x Km/h) + 36m2 (km/h)

1080 (Mgx km/hr) - 360(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

720(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

divide both side by 36 (km/h) gives

m2 = 20Mg =20 metric tons

Is carbon a metal, nonmetal, or semi-metal

Vlada [557]

Answer: Non metal.

Explanation: Carbon has 4 electrons in it’s valence shell which makes it a metalloid but commonly it is considered as a non metal.
