State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.

Alexeev081 [22]

Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.


Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

A ball of mass M collides with a stick with moment of inertia I = βml2 (relative to its center, which is its center of mass). Th

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}$

Part b)

$v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})$

Explanation:

Since the ball and rod is an isolated system and there is no external force on it so by momentum conservation we will have

$Mv_o = M v_1 + m v_2$

here we also use angular momentum conservation

so we have

$M v_o d = M v_1 d + \beta mL^2 \omega$

also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have

$v_o = (v_2 + d\omega) - v_1$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d}$

also we know

$M v_o d - M v_1 d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d})$

also we know

$v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2$

so we have

$M v_o d - M(v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2)d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2 - v_2}{d})$

$mv_2 d = \beta mL^2\frac{2v_o}{d} - \beta mL^2(1 + \frac{m}{M})\frac{v_2}{d}$

now we have

$(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})v_2 = \frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}$

$v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}$

Part b)

Now we know that speed of the ball after collision is given as

$v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2$

so it is given as

$v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})$

How do kinetic and potential energy transfer to one throughout a roller coaster ride?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.

Is the 3 in the molecule a coefficient, subscript, or element? 3H₂O₂

JulijaS [17]

coefficient

Let's look at the 3 possibilities and see what they are for 3H₂O₂ coefficient - This is used to indicate that multiple molecules are used for the formula. In 3H₂O₂ that indicates that we are talking about 3 molecules of H₂O₂ subscript - This is a small number set in a smaller font and placed low to the elements. It indicates the number of each type of atom in the compound. For the formula 3H₂O₂ there are 2 subscripts. Both of them being the number "2" set small and low just after the letters H and O. Those subscripts indicate that there are 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms per molecule. element - This is the abbreviation for the elements used in the compound. In 3H₂O₂ there are 2 different elements. H to indicate hydrogen, and O to indicate oxygen.
