Explain the two advantages and the two disadvantages of fission as an energy source.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer with Explanation:

1) The advantages of fission energy are:

a) Higher concentration of energy : Concentration of energy or the energy density is defined as the amount of energy that is produced by burning a unit mass of the fuel. The nuclear energy obtained by fission has the highest energy density among all the other natural sources of energy such as coal,gas,e.t.c.

b) Cheap source of energy : The cost at which the energy is produced by a nuclear reactor after it is operational is the lowest among all the other sources of energy such as coal, solar,e.t.c

2) The disadvantages of fission energy are:

a) Highly dangerous residue: The fuel that is left unspent is highly radioactive and thus is very dangerous. Usually the residual material is taken deep into the earth for it's disposal.

b) It has high initial costs of design and development: The cost to design a nuclear reactor and to built one after it is designed is the most among all other types of energy sources and requires highly skilled personnel for operation.

A 20.0 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 800 V. The terminals of the charged capacitor are then connected to

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a) Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b) V_1 = V_2 = (16/3) * 10^2 V

c) E = 64/15 J

d) dE = 32/15 J of decrease

Explanation:

Given:

- Capacitor 1, C_1 = 20.0 uF

- Capacitor 2, C_2 = 10.0 uF

- Charged with P.d V = 800 V

Find:

a) the original charge of the system,

(b) the ﬁnal potential difference across each capacitor

(c) the ﬁnal energy of the system

(d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Solution:

a)

- The initial charge in the circuit is the one carried by the first charged capacitor.

Q_initial = C_1*V

Q_initial = 20*10^-6 * 800

Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b)

- After charging the other capacitor, we know that the total charge is conserved among two capacitor:

Q_initial = Q_1 + Q_2

- We also know that potential difference across two capacitor is also same.

V_1 = V_2 = Q_1 / C_1 = Q_2 / C_2

- Using the two equations and solve for charge Q_2:

Q_2 = Q_1*C_2/C_1

Q_2 = Q_1*10/20 = 0.5*Q_1

- using conservation of charge:

Q_initial = 1.5*Q_1

Q_1 = 16*10^-3 / 1.5 = 10.67*10^-3 C

- Hence the Voltage across each capacitor is:

V_2 = V_1 = Q_1 / C_1

= 10.67*10^-3 / 20*10^-6

= (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)

- The energy in the system is:

E = 0.5*C_eq*V^2

Where, C_eq is the equivalent capacitance of paralle circuit.

E = 0.5*(20+10)*10^-6 *((16/3) * 10^2)^2

E = 64/15 J

d)

- The decrease in energy of the capacitors is:

dE = E_initial - E_final

Where, E_initial is due to charging of the C_1 only:

dE = 0.5*10^-6*20*800^2 - (64/15)

dE = 32/5 - 64/15 = 32/15 J

La probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Si se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si compraría

liq [111]

Answer:

La probabilidad pedida es $0.820196$

Explanation:

Sabemos que la probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Sabemos también que se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si comprarían el nuevo producto. Para responder a la pregunta, primero definiremos la siguiente variable aleatoria :

$X:$ '' Número de personas que adquirirán el nuevo producto de 10 personas a las que se les preguntó ''

Ahora bien, si suponemos que la probabilidad de que el nuevo producto tenga éxito se mantiene constante $(p=0.85)$ y además suponemos que hay independencia entre cada una de las personas al azar a las que se les preguntó ⇒ Podemos modelar a $X$ como una variable aleatoria Binomial. Esto se escribe :

$X$ ~ $Bi(n,p)$ en donde $''n''$ es el número de personas entrevistadas y $''p''$ es la probabilidad de éxito (una persona adquiriendo el producto) en cada caso.
