When nuclear reactor design and construction first begin optimism for the technology was very high. However licensing of new nuc

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Working with nuclear reactors involves the generation of electrical energy, by means of steam generation, to move a turbine. This action taken in the United States is because special safety requirements have to be met, as well as a plan for the collection and storage of nuclear waste. These nuclear waste takes thousands of years to disappear, therefore the need to control the construction of each of them, it is better opted for the construction of power plants such as hydropower and today wind and solar power plants. Special analyses and protocols are necessary in the operation of nuclear reactors, because if the temperature of a reactor is not controlled, a disaster similar to chernobyl can be generated.

A lifeguard on a beach observes that waves have a speed of 7 m/s and a distance of 4.6m between wave crests. what is the period
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec

Describe the wavelength of a longitudinal wave.
Lilit [14]
In Longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate around their mean positions. Their amplitude of vibration is in the direction of the propagation of the wave. In transverse wave of longitudinal wave, <em>the wavelength is always the distance between two particles which are in the same phase.</em>

If we take pressure waves, (sound waves), we have pressure variations created by sound wave along its path. Pressure is maximum at compression regions and pressure is minimum at rarefaction region. In between the two, pressure of air remains as the pressure when there is no wave.

<em>The wave length is then the distance between two consecutive rarefactions or two consecutive compression regions.</em>

<em>It is also the distance traveled by the wave in one time period.</em> Time period is the time the particles in the medium take to vibrate towards the end, turn back to reach the other end of their oscillation and then reach back their position.

Why is it important to cite units when engaging in scientific conversation / problem solving?
Dmitriy789 [7]

It is really important to cite units while engaging with scientific problems as they help in evaluating the right solution without any mistake.

<u>Explanation: </u>

While solving analytical questions to evaluate the right answers, the units play a crucial role in the equations. With the help of units in the formula, we can easily judge whether we are placing the values in the same parameters and hence, lessen the probabilities of wrong answers.

For example, while adding two measurements i.e. 4 m and 36 cm; if we don't consider the units and move on with the addition, the answer will be 40. Now, the first thing is that we are adding two measurements of different parameters. Besides this, the answers will be wrong i.e. 4.36 m is the correct answer instead of 40 and that too without mentioning the unit.

The chances of selecting the wrong answer are more when we need to choose options out of multiple choices because here we often get confused. That's why we should always make sure that we approach the scientific questions along with the units.
