Would you rather live downwind of a nuclear power plant or downwind of a coal-burning power plant? Explain the reason for your c
OleMash [197]

Answer:

downwind of a nuclear power plant

Explanation:

Living in close proximity to a nuclear power plant or coal-burning plant is not something that would be preferable by most people, especially when it comes to living on the downwind side of them, but if I had to choose it will be living downwind of a nuclear power plant. The nuclear power plant is not a polluter of the air, so living downwind of it will not be a problem for the human health. The coal-burning plant, on the other hand, is one of the heaviest polluters of the air, as it releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide. This will have very negative effects to the human health, so it is a situation to be avoided if possible. The nuclear plant does comes with a risk, as most things, but the chances are very small that a catastrophe will occur, and even if it does, it doesn't really matter on which side of it the people are living if they are in the same area as the plant.

2. elliptical galaxy

3. irregular galaxy

4. spiral galaxy

5. disk component

6. cosmology

Explanation:

1. True, the globular cluster M13 belongs to the spherical component or spheroidal component of the milky way galaxy because globular clusters are usually found in galaxies.

2. Since most elliptical galaxy lack new stars they usually have very little cool gas or dust to make.

3. An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that does not have a unique regular shape like other galaxies. Because irregular galaxies are formed when galaxies collide they are more common in the universe 10 billion years ago when the collision is said to have started.

4. Since the milky way galaxy is found in a low-density regions and having a spiral structure that extend from its center into the galactic disc it is called spiral galaxy.

5. The sun is a star, and is located about 28,000 light years from the centre of the milky way galaxy.

Like all the other stars in the milky way galaxy, it is located in the disk component of our galaxy: the milky way galaxy.

6. Indeed, Cosmology involves studying the physical universe, its structure, dynamics, origin and evolution.

This study of the dynamics of the physical universe involves investigating how did distribution of galaxies changes with time.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The correct answer is "3. The statement doesn't make sense. Even if NASA could build a spaceship that traveled close to the speed of light, it would take tens of thousands of years to get into the halo and then the same time for image to get back to Earth."
