Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago

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.

0.3-L glass of water at 20C is to be cooled with ice to 5C. Determine how much ice needs to be added to the water, in grams, i
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

a. m_i_c_e=54.6g\\b. m_i_c_e=48.7g\\m_c_o_l_d_w_a_t_e_r=900g

Explanation:

First we need to state our assumptions:

Thermal properties of ice and water are constant, heat transfer to the glass is negligible, Heat of ice h_i_f=333.7KJkg

Mass of water,m_w=\rho V =1\times0.3=0.3Kg.

Energy balance for the ice-water system is defined as

E_i_n-E_o_u_t=\bigtriangleup E_s_y_s\\0=\bigtriangleup U=\bigtriangleup U_i_c_e+\bigtriangleup U_w

a.The mass of ice at 0\textdegree C is defined as:

[mc(0-T_1)+mh_i_f+mc(T_2-0)]_i_c_e+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_w=0\\\\m_i_c_e[0+333.7+418\times(5-0)]+0.3\times4.18\times(5-20)=0\\m_i_c_e=0.0546Kg=54.6g

b.Mass of ice at 20\textdegree C is defined as:

[mc(0-T_1)+mh_i_f+mc(T_2-0)]_i_c_e+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_w=0\\\\m_i_c_e[2.11\times(0-(20))+333.7+4.18\times(5-0)]+0.3\times4.18\times(5-20)=0\\\\m_i_c_e=0.0487Kg=48.7g

c.Mass of cooled water at T_c_w=0\textdegree C

\bigtriangleup U_c_w+\bigtriangleup U_w=0

[mc(T_2-T_1)]_c_w+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_w=0\\m_c_w\times4.18\times(5-0)+0.3\times4.18\times(5-20)\\m_c_w=0.9kg=900g

A car drives at a constant speed of 21 m/s around a circle of radius 100 m.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option D. 4.4 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Velocity (v) = 21 m/s

Radius (r) = 100 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) =.?

The centripetal acceleration of the car can be obtained as follow:

Centripetal acceleration (a) = Velocity square (v²) / radius (r)

a = v²/r

a = 21²/100

a = 441/100

a = 4.41 ≈ 4.4 m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the car is 4.4 m/s².

. Why are scientific models important? They help scientists prove scientific theories. They help scientists explain complex ques
sdas [7]
The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.
