Nuclear accidents can have devastating impacts in the area where they occur. In the immediate aftermath, personal injury and imp

acts can be seen. However, on a long-term scale, areas where nuclear accidents and meltdowns occurred can cause the areas to be barren and uninhabitable. This is because the radioactivity from the nuclear accident can be at high levels for years after the incident. The half lives of the elements involved in the nuclear fission at these power plants are long, and the radioactivity can last longer than many human lives. Two such nuclear accidents occurred at Chernobyl in what is now Ukraine in 1986 and in Fkushima Japan in 2011. Which lettered points on the map indicate areas that may have detectable amounts of radiation long after these accidents become a memory?

<em>H</em> is the location of the Japanese nuclear power plant at Fkushima and <em>I</em> is the location of the Ukraine accident in Chernobyl. At the time, Chernobyl was part of the USSR, but that country no longer exists. These meltdowns will leave the area radioactive for many more years.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2

where

k is the spring constant

\Delta x is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

\Delta x = d-0=d

and the amount of energy required is

U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

\Delta x = -d -0 = -d

and the amount of energy required is

U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

A uniform electric field contains a number of particles. All are experiencing forces in the same direction as the electric field
myrzilka [38]

Answer: D

All the particles must be uncharged

Explanation:

If all the particles are positively charged, then there will be force of repulsion between them which will give different directions away from each other. The same is applicable if they are all negatively charged.

If the particles are positively and negatively charged, their will be force of attraction between them which will give different directions towards each other.

For all to be experiencing forces in the same direction, We can conclude that

All the particles must be uncharged.

Select all the statements regarding electric field line drawings that are correct.
Sophie [7]

Answer:

All statement are correct.

Explanation:

1. Electric field lines are the same thing as electric field vectors, electric field are mathematically vectors quantity. These vectors point in the direction in which a positive test charge would move.

2.  Electric field line drawings allow you to determine the approximate direction of the electric field at a point in space. Yes it is correct tangent drawn at any point on these lines gives the direction of electric filed at that point.

3. The number of electric field lines that start or end at a charged particle is proportional to the magnitude of charge on the particle, is a correct statement.

4.The electric field is strongest where the electric field lines are close together, again a correct statement as relative closeness of field lines indicate a stronger strength of electric field.

Hence we can say that all the statement are correct.

A communications channel has a bandwidth of 4,000 hz and a signal-to-noise ratio (snr of 30 db. what is the maximum possible dat
levacccp [35]
Through Shannon's Theorem, we can calculate the capacity of the communications channel using the value of its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. The capacity, C, can be expressed as 

C = B × log₂(1 + S/N)

where B is the bandwidth of the channel and S/N is its signal-to-noise ratio.

Since the given SN ratio is in decibels, we must first express it as a ratio with no units as

SN (in decibels) = 10 × log (S/N)
30 = 10log(S/N)
log(S/N) = 3
S/N = 10³ = 1000

Now that we have S/N, we can solve for its capacity (in bits per second) as 

C = 4000 × log₂(1 + 1000) 
C = 39868.91 bps

Thus, the maximum capacity of the channel is 39868 bps or 40 kbps.

Answer: 40 kbps
