A 2.0 kg block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R = 3.0 m. T

he block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest a distance D from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless, but there is a coefficient of friction, μ = 0.5, on the horizontal plane. Determine the velocity of the box at maximum kinetic energy

The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy <em>PE</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>m g h</em>

<em>PE</em> = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)

<em>PE</em> = 58.8 J

Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that <em>PE</em> at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy <em>KE</em> at the bottom. Solve for the velocity <em>v</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>KE</em>

58.8 J = 1/2 <em>m v</em> ²

117.6 J = (2.0 kg) <em>v</em> ²

<em>v</em> = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))

<em>v</em> ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s

A wave has a wavelength of 5m and frequency of 5 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?​
Anna71 [15]
If you multiply m (the unit for wavelength) with 1s (the unit for frequency), you will get m/s, the unit for speed. Now multiply! 25 m/s is your final answer!

Take for example driving by with a cake in your hand, then dropping it while going 30 mph. It will not drop directly down, it will gradually go in the direction you were driving while falling.
This is true I believe, if I'm interpreting correctly.

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.
Alexeev081 [22]
<span>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.
</span>

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.<span>Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.
