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.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg

A frictionless pendulum is made with a bob of mass 19.7 kg. The bob is held at height = 0.934 meter above the bottom of its traj

Alika [10]

Answer:

265 J

Explanation:

$Energy=PE+KE=mgh+ 0.5mv^{2}$ where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then

$Energy=19.7(9.81*0.934+0.5*2.93^{2})=265.063303\approx 265 J$

Hi, I need some science help ASAP. Here's the question:

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Mass of the box is 25kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

Force= mass. acceleration

With the symbol

F=m.a

m=F/a m=(50N)/(2m/s²)

m=25kg
