Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Nuclear energy has some advantages over traditional methods of producing electricity. It has little impact on air quality and is more efficient than traditional methods of producing electricity. It does, however, use a nonrenewable resource, uranium. Uranium must be mined just like coal, which does have detrimental effects on the environment. Nuclear power plants also produce radioactive waste, which leads to difficulties in storage. Also, nuclear power plants use large amounts of water and can contribute to thermal pollution.

Answer 2
Answer: Advantages
Incredibly efficient
emmisionless
high energy density

Disadvantages
Non renewable
potential safety hazard
decomissioning of plants and disposal of nuclear waste is expensive and time consuming

Imagine you are in an open field where two loudspeakers are set up and connected to the same amplifier so that they emit sound waves in phase at 688 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. Part A. If you are 3.00 m from speaker A directly to your right and 3.50 m from speaker B directly to your left, will the sound that you hear be louder than the sound you would hear if only one speaker were in use? a. yes b. no Because the path difference is equal to the wavelength of the sound, the sound originating at the two speakers will interfere constructively at your location and you will perceive a louder sound. Part B. What is the shortest distance d you need to walk forward to be at a point where you cannot hear the speakers? The forward direction is defined as being perpendicular to a line joining the two speakers and you start walking from the line that joins the two speakers. Express your answers in meters to three significant figures. d = m

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 15 m/s2. The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of planet 1. Part A What is g on planet 2

Answers

Answer:

3.75m/s²

Explanation:

g= GM/r²

For planet 1

g_(1)= GM/r²                   (i)

g_(1) = 15m/s²

for planet 2

radius= 2*r= 2r

g= GM/r

g_(2)= GM/(2r)²

g_(2)= GM/4r²

g_(2)=  GM/r² *1/4

from (i)

g_(2)=  g_(1) *1/4

g_(2) = 15/4

g_(2) = 3.75m/s²

A 20.0-cm long pipe is covered at one end in order to create a closed-end air column. A vibrating tuning fork is held near its open end, forcing the air to vibrate in its first harmonic. The wavelength of the standing wave pattern is ____.

Answers

Answer:

80 cm

Explanation:

the given condition is closed-end air column. The wavelength is four times the length of the air column for the standing wave pattern for the first harmonic.  

The required wavelength of the standing wave pattern is

=\lambda =4L\n\lambda=4 * 20\n\lambda=80 cm

If you hit another object with your vehicle, your _______ will be slowed or stopped by the force of impact caused by that object upon impact.

Answers

Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

If a vehicle hit any other object then its speed will slow down or some time the vehicle will stop its depends on the force exerted by other object on the vehicle.

The change in speed of vehicle is due to momentum because momentum is always conserved. So to conserve the momentum the speed of the vehicle decreases because after hitting the overall mass is increases.

Answer:

Vehicle

Explanation:

This is referring to mechanism that heat the object.

Which explains earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?global positioning theory
lithospheric theory
plate tectonics theory
nebular theory

Answers

Plate tectonics theory explains earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Global positioning theory, lithospheric theory and nebular theory do not explain the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

Answer:

C. Plate tectonics theory

Explanation:

According to the plate tectonics theory outer layer of earth is divided into seven major and some minor plates. And these plates form convergent,divergent and transverse boundaries. So the Pacific ring of fire, subduction zone, continental drift are evidences of plate tectonics theory. Earthquakes and volcanic eruption are also explained by plate tectonics theory.
