Describe the benefits and risks associated with nuclear energy.

Physics

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.

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a solid sphere of diameter 2D of the same metal from 4°C to 7°C
aniked [119]

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a solid sphere of diameter 2D of the same metal from 4°C to 7°C is is 8 times the initial amount of heat.

<h3>What is heat?</h3>

The temperature increment will lead to the increase in the internal energy of the object. This internal energy is the heat.

Given is the change in  temperature ΔT = 7-4 =3°C., diameter D to 2D,

Q = Cp x  ρ(4π/3)D³ x 3..................(1)

and Q' = Cp x  ρ(4π/3)(2D)³ x 3

Q' = Cp x  ρ(4π/3)8D³x 3..................(2)

Dividing both the equation, we have

Q' / Q =8

Q' = 8Q

Thus, the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a solid sphere of diameter 2D of the same metal from 4°C to 7°C is 8 times the initial amount of heat.

leva [86]
This is a Doppler effect. Generally, if you move to a frequency source, you would detect an increase in frequency and when you move away from a source you would detect a decrease.

For this question, before you pass them, you are actually approaching them, so you would hear a higher frequency than the constant 300 Hz they are playing at.

Using the condensed formula:

 f '   =   ((v <u>+</u> vd)/(v <u>+</u> vs)) * f

Where:  vd = Velocity of the detector.
              vs = Velocity of the frequency source.
              v   =  Velocity of sound in air.
              f '  =  Apparent frequency.
              f    =  Frequency of source.

v = 343 m/s,  vd = detector = 27.8 m/s,  vs = velocity of the source =0. (the flautists are not moving).
f = 300 Hz. 

There would be an overall increase in frequency, so we maintain a plus at the numerator and a minus at the denominator.

 f '   =   ((v + vd)/(v - vs)) * f

f '   =   ((343+ 27.8)/(343 - 0)) * 300
      =   (370.8/343)* 300 =  324.3

Therefore frequency before passing them = 324.3 Hz.

Cheers.
