Are Nuclear Power or Wind Power the Answer to our Energy/Electricity Needs? (answer clearly please)

Geography

mars1129 [50]3 years ago

Answer:

Nuclear is reliable.

Nuclear plants are the most efficient source of electricity, operating 24/7 at a more than 93 percent average capacity factor. ... That's more than two times the capacity factor of any other carbon-free source. During the 2019 polar vortex, U.S. plants operated at more than 98 percent capacity.

On the other hand, Wind is not as effective as some countries have little to no wind, especially the hot arab or african countries.

Some disadvantages are:

The wind is inconsistent.

Wind turbines involve high upfront capital investment.

Wind turbines have a visual impact.

May reduce the local bird population.

Wind turbines are prone to noise disturbances.

Installation can take up a significant portion of land.

Wind turbines can be a safety hazard.

Nuclear:

Expensive to Build. Despite being relatively inexpensive to operate, nuclear power plants are incredibly expensive to build—and the cost keeps rising.

Accidents.

Produces Radioactive Waste.

Impact on the Environment.

Security Threat.

Limited Fuel Supply.

However, both are at least better than fossil fuels as they are renewable.

A plate moving at a rate of 4 is moving toward a plate that is 10,000 km away. In how many years will the plates collide?
disa [49]

Answer:

The plates will collide in 250 million years.

Explanation:

Earth is divided into numerous plates. All of them are in constant motion which is driven by the convection currents in the mantle. All plates move in different directions, with some moving toward each other, some moving away from each other, and some slide past each other.

In this case, we have a plate that moves toward another plate, and the other plate presumably is static (not really possible, but still). The plate that moves is moving with 4 cm per year, and the distance between the plates is 10,000 km, so in order to get a result in how many years they will collide, we need to convert the km into cm and then simply divide them by the speed of the plate.

1 m = 100 cm

1 km = 1,000 m

1,000 x 100 = 100,000 cm

100,000 x 10,000 = 1,000,000,000 cm

1,000,000,000 / 4 = 250,000,000

We get a result of 250 million, meaning that the plates will collide in 250 million years.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The wall acts as a dissipator for the energy of the ocean waves.

That is why on some coasts to reduce the force with which the waves collide on the shore, breakwaters are made to stop said maritime energy.

Explanation:

That is why this wall, if it is well built, acts as a barrier and stops the waves dissipating it with less energy on the maritime coast.

What is the value of x
Firlakuza [10]
Since this is a square you can set 3x+20=5x then you can solve for x.
Subtract 3x from both sides:
3x-3x+20=5x-3x
20=2x
Divide both sides by 2
20/2=2x/2
10=x

Hope this helps.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

c. Dew point temperature

Explanation:

Dew point temperature -  

It is the temperature to which , the air need to be cooled in order to make it saturated with the water molecules , is known as the Dew point temperature .

And , when the it is cooled further more , the airborne water vapor will condense to form dew , liquid water .

Hence , from the question data , the correct option is c. Dew point temperature .
