Tectonic shift is the movement of the plates that make up Earth's crust. ... The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.

Do you think scientists should continue to explore nuclear energy as a source of electricity? Explain your opinion and provide r
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Nuclear energy refers to energy trapped in the nucleus of atoms. Nuclear energy holds the greatest promise for large scale electricity generation. For instance, the amount of energy released by a given mass of uranium is 2.5 million times the energy released by combustion of an equal mass of carbon.One gram of uranium produces the same energy as 1 ton of coal, 17000 cubic feet of natural gas, 5000 pounds of wood and 149 gallons of oil.

Nuclear energy does not pollute the atmosphere as fossil fuels do. However, the challenges of effective control of the nuclear reactor and disposal of radioactive waste still remain a serious concern.

However, exploitation of nuclear energy as a source of electricity remain expensive and it is not quite easy to set up a nuclear power plant. Not many countries can afford to pay for the services of experts who operate nuclear energy plants talk more of providing the required equipment.

Object C has a mass of 3,600 kilograms. Object D has a mass of 900 kilograms. Both objects were placed on different planets so t
jek_recluse [69]
The answer is 1/4
this is actually a very simple question because if you divide 3,600 by 4 that equals 900 so if you want them to be the same waight you need 3,600 to be multiplied by 1/4.

At a busy intersection, a 1320-kg car traveling west with a speed of 12 m/s collides head-on with a minivan traveling east with
Elza [17]
p = mv so this question pertains to conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the car is 1320*12 = 15840kgms^-1
For the sake of easiness and the fact negatives are annoying, I will assume east to be positive.

So we know 9.4m - 15840 = (1320+m)*1.5
9.4m - 15840 = 1980+1.5m

Rearranging to solve for m
7.9m = 17820
m = 2255.70 = 2300kg to 2sf

hoa [83]

Answer:

160 meters

Relative of speed Vr = 10 -2 = 8 m/s    (horizontal speed)

20 sec * 8 m/s = 160 m      since ball travels 20 sec
