The answer is C. 15 meters North
Displacement is the distance and direction from the origin. If you move 20 meters North, your displacement is 20 meters North. If you move 5 meters South, you are basically moving back the way you came by 5 meters, which means you are now 15 meters North.

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes
Explanation:
In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.
However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.
Answer is
9.773m/s^2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given,
h=8848m
The value of sea level is 9.08m/s^2. So, Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on Mount Everest.
g′=g(1 − 2h/h)
=9.8(1 - 6400000/17696)
=9.8(1 − 0.00276)
9.8×0.99724
=9.773m/s^2
Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s^2

We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
