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.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

$\huge\text{Graphs:}$

The graph of

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

$\Large\textbf{Diode:}$

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

$\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}$

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

$\Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}$

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.

For a caffeinated drink with a caffeine mass percent of 0.65% and a density of 1.00 g/mL, how many mL of the drink would be requ

slava [35]

Explanation:

First we will convert the given mass from lb to kg as follows.

157 lb = $157 lb \times \frac{1 kg}{2.2046 lb}$

= 71.215 kg

Now, mass of caffeine required for a person of that mass at the LD50 is as follows.

$180 \frac{mg}{kg} \times 71.215 kg$

= 12818.7 mg

Convert the % of (w/w) into % (w/v) as follows.

0.65% (w/w) = $\frac{0.65 g}{100 g}$

= $\frac{0.65 g}{(\frac{100 g}{1.0 g/ml})}$

= $\frac{0.65 g}{100 ml}$

Therefore, calculate the volume which contains the amount of caffeine as follows.

12818.7 mg = 12.8187 g = $\frac{12.8187 g}{\frac{0.65 g}{100 ml}}$

= 1972 ml

Thus, we can conclude that 1972 ml of the drink would be required to reach an LD50 of 180 mg/kg body mass if the person weighed 157 lb.

In September 2016 you purchased a 125 shares of Grainger stock for $224.84. It is now September 2019 and Grainger stock is curre

Temka [501]

Answer:

Gain in capital = $ 70.72

Explanation:

Given:

- The price of stocks when purchased P_o = $ 224.84

- The price of stocks when sold P_s = $ 295.56

Find:

what would be your capital gain (loss) on the sale, ignoring commissions

Solution:

- The capital gain or loss on the selling of stocks stems from the difference of buying and selling value of stocks. The original price of stock was P_o and the selling price would be P_s. The difference would be:

capital gain = P_s - P_o

capital gain = $295.56 - $224.84

capital gain = $ 70.72

- Hence, there would be a gain in capital if sold today for about $ 70.72.
