Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.

An object with a mass M = 250 g is at rest on a plane that makes an angle θ = 30 o above the horizontal. The coefficient of kine
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

v = 79.2 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg

Angle, \theta = 30^{\circ}

Coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_{k} = 0.100

Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg

Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m

Now,

The tension in the string is given by:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = T        (1)

Also

T = m(g + a)

Thus eqn (1) can be written as:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = m(g - a)

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = mg + ma

mg - Mgsin\theta - \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta = (M - m)a

a = \frac{0.2\times 9.8 - 0.250\times 9.8\times sin30^{\circ} - 0.1\times 0.250\times 9.8\times cos30^{\circ}}{0.250 - 0.200}

a = 10.45\ m/s^{2}

Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2ad

where

u = initial velocity = 0

Thus

v = \sqrt{2ad}

v = \sqrt{2\times 10.45\times 0.03} = 0.792\ m/s

A certain spring stores 10.0J of potential energy when it isstretched by 2.00cm from its equilibrium position.How much potential
qaws [65]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

x= 0.02 m

E_p= 10.0 J

E_p= 0.5kx^2

10= 0.5k(0.02)^2

solving we get

K= 50.0 N/m

Now

E'_p= 0.5kx'^2

E'_p= 0.5×50×(0.04)^2

E'_p=40 J

b) potential energy is a scalar quantity and it only depends magnitude and not direction so it will remain same in compression and expansion both

c) 20 J = 0.5×50,000×x^2

solving

x= 0.028 m

d) k is 50.0 N/m  from above calculation

You are asked to calculate how long a new battery will last on a flashlight when the flashlight is turned on. how long should yo
valina [46]

Answer:

           Depends on the capacity of battery. Mostly our phones flashlight can be used up to 8 to 10hrs continuosly

Explanation:

Capacity of the battery is level to which battery is charged, &  amount of current drawn by the flashlight, you can calculate the answer yourself if u know the capacity of that light.

Moreover you can calculate this by using equation,

         E =Pt

So, for time

      t=E/P

Batteries are rated in Amp hours, like 10 amp hours will supply us 1 amp for 10 hours

2 amps will give us 5 hours
