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.

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death.  The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
