Describe the benefits and risks associated with nuclear energy.

Physics
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]4 years ago
8 0

Producing nuclear energy is far more environmentally friendly than burning fossil fuels. That is the main benefit.

The main risk is radiation. If the nuclear waste is not properly disposed of, it can leak radiation into the environment. Fortunately, this is not an issue since there are ways to deal with it. There is also the risk of a disaster like the Chernobyl incident, however that was mostly due to faulty reactor construction. However, reactors today are built to avoid such issues.

How to find the coefficient of kinetic friction?
ycow [4]
It depends on the type of question, mechanical condition and given values, 
You can use the formula, 

Coefficient of kinetic friction  =  Force of Kinetic friction  /  Normal force (perpendicular to contacting surfaces)

Hope this helps!

Wan and Nurul sat on a see-saw. The see-saw is imbalanced because Wan’s mass is 45 kg while Nurul’s mass is only 30 kg. Suggest
Alex Ar [27]

We have that the see-saw will be balance if a weight of x=15kg is added to Nural's side of the see-saw

x=15kg

From the Question we are told that

Wan’s mass is M_w=45 kg

Nurul’s mass is M_n= 30 kg.

Generally

The Will be balance when the weight on both sides of the see-saw are equal

M_w=M_n+x

45=30+x

x=45-30

x=15kg

In conclusion

The see-saw will be balance if a weight of x=15kg is added to Nural's side of the see-saw

x=15kg

A rock slides down from A to B along the inside surface of a frictionless hemispherical bowl. As the rock slides, mechanical ene
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

the normal force on the rock acts perpendicular to the bowl's surface.

Explanation:

As we know that Normal force is the reaction force of two contact surfaces which always act perpendicular to the contact surfaces

Here we know that the rock is moving inside the bowl

So Normal force on the rock must perpendicular to the surface of the bowl which always passes through the center of the bowl.

Since the rock is moving in vertical plane so it must have two acceleration

1) Tangential acceleration which will increase the magnitude of the speed along the tangential path

2) Centripetal acceleration which will change the direction of the rock

So here only correct option will be

the normal force on the rock acts perpendicular to the bowl's surface.
