Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power stations
Generating electricity using nuclear reactors carries high risk but offers large rewards. In operation, a very small amount of nuclear fuel will consistently generate a very large amount of electricity and generate very little polluting material. However, the financial costs of building and decommissioning a nuclear power station are very large, and the waste produced will remain radioactive - hazardous to humans and the environment - for thousands of years.
Produces no polluting gases. Waste is radioactive and safe disposal is very difficult and expensive.
Does not contribute to global warming.Local thermal pollution from wastewater affects marine life.
Very low fuel costs. Large-scale accidents can be catastrophic.
Low fuel quantity reduces mining and transportation effects on environment. Public perception of nuclear power is negative.
High technology research required benefits other industries.Costs of building and safely decommissioning are very high.
Power station has very long lifetime.Cannot react quickly to changes in electricity demand.
Given:
Time: 3.5 hrs
Velocity: 120 miles/hour
Now Distance= Speed x Time
Now Velocity and Speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Where as speed is a scalar quantity, it indicates only the magnitude and doesn’t define any direction.
Hence Distance= Velocity x Time
Distance= 3.5x20=420 miles
Digestion, Absorption, Circulation, Diffusion, Synthesis.
Digestion begins as soon as you put food in your mouth and begin chewing it, so it is the first step. Absorption happens when food is converted into substances that can be absorbed by your GI tract. Circulation is where those nutrients are circulated in your lymphatic and circulatory system (blood). Diffusion moves oxygen through your blood stream where it gets diffused. S<span>ynthesis converts nutrients that have been diffused and absorbed in your blood. </span>
