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.

An element emits a spectrum that____________.a)is evenly spaced.b)is the same as all other elements.c)is unique to that element.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

c)is unique to that element

Explanation:

 The spectrum emitted by a element shows the internal electronic structure of that element.We know that all element is having different internal electronic structure that is why all element emits different spectrum.And the spacing between the spectrum is uneven .

Therefore the answer will be option C.

c)is unique to that element

Which of the following is most closely related to an activated complex?
Anon25 [30]

Among the choices above, the one that is most closely related to an activated complex is the transition state. The answer is letter D. This formation forms quickly and does not stay in a way compound is. It usually forms during the enzyme – substrate reaction.

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.

Please I need help! This is the last question I need for this assignment!
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

What is specific heat capacity?

Specific heat capacity is the quantity

of heat required to raise a unit mass of

a substance by 1 kelvin.

Specific heat capacity of water and sand

{<em>refer to the above attachment}</em>

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

Water, oil and silver are poured into the vessel
taurus [48]

The height of the oil column above the water in the vessel is determined as 2 cm.

<h3>Pressure of the vessel</h3>

The pressure of the vessel due to water, oil and silver poured into the vessel is determined from mercury column.

let level of mercury = 20 cm + 0.5 cm = 20.5 cm

20.5 cmHg = 205 mmHg

1 mmHg = 133.32 Pa

205 mmHg = 27,330.6 Pa

<h3>Height of the liquids in the vessel</h3>

P = ρgh

where;

ρ is the density of water, oil and silver respectively

ρ = 1000 kg/m³ + 881 kg/m³ + 10,800 kg/m³ = 12,681 kg/m³

h = P/(ρg)

h = (27,330.6) / (12,681 x 9.8)

h = 0.22 m

h = 22 cm

<h3>Height of oil column</h3>

Oil is less dense than water and will float on water.

Height of oil column = 22 cm - 20 cm = 2 cm
