The trees would soak up radiation and also emit it leaving it dangerous to be around, if we are talking about an ice covered lake im not so sure but and un frozen lake would keep in radiation much more than emitting it which is why most nuclear power plants have the plutonium in i believe at least 15 to 20 feet of water and an asphalt road would probably just not be practical because anything else around it would also be radioactive. After a fallout storm you literally need to dig at least 8 feet in order to grow crops again or you will most likely get horribly sick from eating the food it grows

Starting from rest, a person runs with a constant acceleration, traveling 40 meters in 10 seconds. What is their final velocity?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Final velocity v = 8.944 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given distance S = 40 meters

Time t = 10 sec

As it starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0

From second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$40=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}a10^2$

$a=0.8944m/sec^2$

Now from first equation of motion $v=u+at$ , here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So $v=u+at=0+0.8944\times 10=8.944m/sec$

If you were thinking about a washing machine as a system which of the following represents the inputs?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The answer is a, the dirty cloths, water and detergent.

Explanation:

The answer is the above selected because the inputs basically represent the data that are passed through the system to generate the output.

In this case, the inputs are the aforementioned in the answer while the possible output would literally be the clean cloths.

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal gauge pressure, p=75 psip=75 psi. It had a wall thickness

Mekhanik [1.2K]

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the longitudinal effort and the effort of the hoop. The effort of the hoop is given as

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

Here,

P = Pressure

d = Diameter

t = Thickness

At the same time the longitudinal stress is given as,

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

The letters have the same meaning as before.

Then he hoop stress would be,

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_h = \frac{75 \times 8}{2\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_h = 1200psi$

And the longitudinal stress would be

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

$\sigma_l = \frac{75\times 8}{4\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_l = 600Psi$

The Mohr's circle is attached in a image to find the maximum shear stress, which is given as

$\tau_{max} = \frac{\sigma_h}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = \frac{1200}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = 600Psi$

Therefore the maximum shear stress in the pressure vessel when it is subjected to this pressure is 600Psi

Chemical energy is energy that

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a chemical reaction to transform into other substances. Examples include batteries, food, gasoline, and etc. Breaking or making of chemical bonds involves energy, which may be either absorbed or evolved from a chemical system
