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.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

wavelength is 20.71 cm

Explanation:

given data

wave = 43.0 vibrations

time = 29 s

wave travels = 430 cm

time t2 = 14 s

to find out

wavelength

solution

we know here wavelength formula that is

wavelength = velocity / frequency  .........................1

here frequency = 43 / 29 = 1.4827 Hz

and velocity = 430 / 14 = 30.71 cm/s

so here from equation 1 put all value

wavelength = velocity / frequency

wavelength = 30.71 / 1.4827

wavelength = 20.71 cm

so wavelength is 20.71 cm

As air temperature approaches the dew point, what happens to the relative humidity?
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Relative Humidity is a percentage based on how much moisture is in the air versus how much moisture the air can hold. The dewpoint is the temperature that the atmosphere must reach for a parcel of air to become fully saturated. That being said, if the temperature outside is 30 degrees (F or C doesn't matter), and the dewpoint goes from 10 to 20, then the relative humidity has increased, meaning there is more moisture present in the atmosphere.
The easiest way to look at pressure is by looking at the number of air molecules that are in a closed container. Gas molecules expand as they warm, so warming up a container of air means that these molecule will attempt to expand, thus increasing the pressure. Take for instance a soda bottle filled with air, if you heat a soda bottle, then the gases inside will attempt to expand (raising the pressure) and eventually the bottle will explode, but if you stick the same soda bottle in dry ice, the soda bottle will contract, due to decreased pressure. </span> Source(s): <span> Military Meteorologist
