Why does the world store nuclear waste and not just shoot it into the Sun or deep space?

Biology

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

One is that this is very, very expensive. When the Parker Solar Probe was sent to take measurements of the Sun this year, it cost US$1.5 billion just for a spacecraft the size of a small car to get that far.

It seems simple to shoot an object towards something as big as the Sun - which is 1.3 million times the size of Earth. But it’s actually very hard. The Parker Solar Probe (a NASA robotic spacecraft en route to investigate the outer corona of the Sun) has to swing past the planet Venus seven times to slow itself down enough to get close to the Sun.

The other reason is that rockets sometimes blow up on the launch pad, or in the atmosphere. This would release the waste into the environment and make the problem even worse.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

24555 years

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Half life of carbon 14 = 5700 years

carbon present in the dead man = 5% of the original amount of carbon 14

Now,

let the initial Amount of carbon be 'A'

Therefore,

after half life

Amount of carbon = \frac{A}{2}

Thus,

\frac{A}{2} = Ae^{kt}

here,

k is the decay constant

t is the time = 5700 years

therefore,

1 = 2e^{k\times5700}

or

0.5 = e^{k\times5700}

taking natural log both the sides

-0.69314 = 5700k

or

k = - 0.000122

therefore,

for dead man Amount of carbon = 5% of A = 0.05A

thus,

0.05A = Ae^{( - 0.000122)t}

or

0.05 = e^{( - 0.000122)t}

taking natural log both the sides

we get

-2.995 = - 0.000122 × t

or

t = 24555.18 ≈ 24555 years

Okazaki fragments are formed on which strand?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The leading strand is continuously synthesized and is elongated during this process to expose the template that is used for the lagging strand (Okazaki fragments). During the process of DNA replication, DNA and RNA primers are removed from the lagging strand of DNA to allow Okazaki fragments to bind to.

If parents with genotypes gg have one child with a recessive genetic disorder, gg, what is the chance that their second child wi
Varvara68 [4.7K]

When the parents have recessive genetic disorder with the genotype gg, there are 100% chances that their second child will develop the disorder.

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual. It tells about the set of alleles a person exhibits for a particular trait. Recessive genetic disorder is an autosomal kind of disorder in which both the alleles inherited from the parents should be recessive. Sickle cell disease is an example of recessive genetic disorder.

When both parents are recessive for a trait, only one type of gamete is formed that can give rise to offspring with only the homozygous recessive trait.
