One disadvantage of nuclear power is that the waste produced is dangerous. The waste is dangerous because it is what?

The waste is dangerous because exposure to the waste could lead to a higher risk of cancer and genetic mutations to the baby of a person exposed to nuclear waste.

An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.80 kW. A receiving antenna 7

Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I= $\frac{P_{avg}}{A}$

I= $\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}$

I= $7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

$E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}$

Amplitude of induced emf

= $E_{max}d$

= $\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75$

= $17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v$

Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}$ (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

$m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg$ (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg$ (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

$m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg$

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg

How is force defined?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull.
