Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Nuclear energy refers to energy trapped in the nucleus of atoms. Nuclear energy holds the greatest promise for large scale electricity generation. For instance, the amount of energy released by a given mass of uranium is 2.5 million times the energy released by combustion of an equal mass of carbon.One gram of uranium produces the same energy as 1 ton of coal, 17000 cubic feet of natural gas, 5000 pounds of wood and 149 gallons of oil.

Nuclear energy does not pollute the atmosphere as fossil fuels do. However, the challenges of effective control of the nuclear reactor and disposal of radioactive waste still remain a serious concern.

However, exploitation of nuclear energy as a source of electricity remain expensive and it is not quite easy to set up a nuclear power plant. Not many countries can afford to pay for the services of experts who operate nuclear energy plants talk more of providing the required equipment.

How much work is done if you push a 200 N box across a floor with a force of 50 N for a distance of 20m
vovikov84 [41]
<h2>Answer: 1000 J</h2>

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:  

1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it \alpha. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:  

W=Fdcos{\alpha} (2)

For example, in order to push the 200 N box across the floor, you have to apply a force along the distance d to overcome the resistance of the weight of the box (its 200 N).  

In this case both <u>(the force and the distance in the path) are parallel</u>, so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=50N by the distance traveled d. as shown in equation (1).

Hence:

W=(50N)(20m)  

W=1000Nm=1000J >>>>This is the work

15) On a cold day, you take in 4.2 L (i.e., 4.2 x 10-3 m3) of air into your lungs at a temperature of 0°C. If you hold your brea
Rudiy27

Answer:

4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial volume (V1) = 4.2L

Initial temperature (T1) = 0°C

Final temperature (T2) = 37°C

Final volume (V2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below

K = °C + 273

T1 = 0°C = 0°C + 273 = 273K

T2 = 37°C = 37°C + 273 = 310K

Step 3:

Determination of the final volume.

Since the pressure is constant,

Charles' Law equation will be applied as shown below:

V1 /T1 = V2/T2

4.2/273 = V2 /310

Cross multiply to express in linear form

273 x V2 = 4.2 x 310

Divide both side by 273

V2 = (4.2 x 310)/273

V2 = 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

Therefore, the volume of the air in the lungs at that point is 4.8L ( i.e 4.8 x 10^-3 m3)

A wagon full of manure accidentally rolls down a driveway for 5.0m while a person pushes against the wagon with a force of 420 N
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J
