The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes
Explanation:
In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.
However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.
Answer:
C. The storage and management of radioactive wastes
Explanation:
A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 41.5-gram mass is attached at the 28.5-cm mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cm mark for balance. What is the mass of the meter stick
Answer:
The value is [tex]M = 42.3 \ kg[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first position of the fulcrum is x = 49.7 cm
The mass attached is [tex]m = 41.5 \ g[/tex]
The position of the attachment is [tex]x_1 = 28.5 \ cm[/tex]
The second position of the fulcrum is [tex]x_2 = 39.2 \ cm[/tex]
Generally the sum of clockwise torque = sum of anti - clockwise torque
So
[tex]CWT = m (x_2 - x_1)[/tex]
Here CWT stands for clockwise torque
[tex]ACWT = M ( x - x_2)[/tex]
So
[tex]m (x_2 - x_1) = M ( x - x_2)[/tex]
=> [tex]41.5 (39.2 - 28.5 ) = M ( 49.7 -39.2 )[/tex]
=> [tex]M = 42.3 \ kg[/tex]
---Spring Question---
A 0.84 kg ball is held at rest against a spring (k = 142 N/m) that has been compressed 0.06 m. The ball and spring are on a table and the ball is 2.0 m above the ground. If friction between the ball and the table is negligible, then how far from the edge of the table (in meters) will the ball hit the ground?
Answer:
The distance from the edge of the table at which the ball will hit the ground is approximately 0.49 meters
Explanation:
The mass of the ball = 0.84 kg
The spring constant k = 142 N/m
The compression of the spring = 0.06
Therefore, by conservation of energy, we have;
The potential energy of the spring = The kinetic energy given to the ball
The potential energy of the spring = 1/2 × k × x² = 1/2 × 142 × 0.06² = 0.2556
The potential energy of the spring = 0.2556 J
The kinetic energy given to the ball = 1/2 × m × v²
Where;
v = The final velocity of the ball
Substituting gives;
1/2 × 0.84 × v² = 0.2556
∴ v = √(0.2556/(1/2 × 0.84)) ≈ 0.78
The final velocity of the ball = v ≈ 0.78 m/s
The height of the ball above the ground, h = 2.0 m
Therefore, we have;
The time, t, it takes the ball to touch the ground from the 2.0 m height, h, is given as follows;
h = 1/2·g·t²
t = √(2·h/g)
Where;
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
∴ By substitution, we have;
t = √(2 × 2/9.81) ≈ 0.63855
t ≈ 0.63855 s
The distance from the edge of the table at which the ball will hit the ground = The horizontal distance covered during before the ball hits the ground
The horizontal distance covered during before the ball hits the ground = The (horizontal) velocity of the ball × The time it takes the ball to touch the ground
∴ The horizontal distance covered during before the ball hits the ground = 0.78 × 0.62855 ≈ 0.490269 ≈ 0.49
The distance from the edge of the table at which the ball will hit the ground = The horizontal distance covered during before the ball hits the ground ≈ 0.49 m
What does this same experiment( the picture) tell you about light waves? Explain.
the fall of a body on the earth's surface cannot be a complete free fall why ?
Explanation:
because the boy has larger surface area due to which he offers the larger air resistance which decreases the acceleration so, he will fall towards the earth's surface approximately with constant velocity.

Answer:
t = 1,28 s
Explanation: This problem is a projectile motion problem.
V₀ₓ = V₀ * cosθ
Vₓ = constant all the way
Vₓ = V₀ₓ
tanθ = Vyi/Vxi that means in any point of the trajectory
tanθ = 6 / 60 ( just before touching the ground )
tanθ = 0,1 then arctan 0,1 ≈ 6⁰
sin 6⁰ = 0,1045
cos 6⁰ = 0,9945
V₀ₓ = V₀ * cosθ ⇒ V₀ = V₀ₓ / cosθ ⇒ V₀ = 60 / 0,9945
V₀ = 60,33 m/s
V₀y = V₀ * sin θ ⇒ V₀y = 60,33 * 0,1045 ⇒ V₀y = 6,30 m/s
Vy = V₀y - g * t
At maximum y Vy = 0 ( the middle of the trajectory)
g*tm = V₀y ⇒ tm= V₀y / g
tm = 6,30 / 9,8
tm = 0,64 s ( time to reach maximum y )
Then the time of fligh is twice 0,64 s
t = 0,64 * 2
t = 1,28 s

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?
Velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement wit respect to time.
tangential velocity is (11/10)πr , where r is radius of circular track.
Since, tangential velocity is, [tex]=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
In one revolution, distance travelled is circumference of circular track.
If radius of circular track is r , then distance travelled in one revolution is, = 2πr
So, 11 revolutions = 11(2πr) = 22πr
Time taken = 20 second
So, tangential velocity = 22πr/20 = (11/10)πr meter per second.

Calculate;
1)The work done by the effort
2)The efficiency of the system
3)The effort applied
Answer:
1) 4000Joules
2) 25%
3) 320N
Explanation:
A block and tackle consisting of 5 pulleys is used to raised a load of 400N through a height of 10m.If the work done against friction is 100j.
Calculate;
1)The work done by the effort
2)The efficiency of the system
3)The effort applied
1) Workdone by the effort is the work input = Load * distance moved by the Load
Workdone by the effort = 400 * 10
Workdone by the effort = 4000Joules
2) Efficiency = Work output/Work input * 100
Work output = work done against friction = 100 Joules
Efficiency = 100/4000 * 100
Efficiency = 10000/4000
Efficiency = 25%
Hence the Efficiency of the system is 25%
3) Using the efficiency formula:
efficiency = MA/VR * 100
Velocity ratio = 5
MA = Load/Effort
efficiency = (L/E)/5 * 100
25 = 400/E/5 * 100
25/100 = 400/5E
0.25 = 400/5E
0.25 * 5E = 400
1.25E = 400
E = 400/1.25
E = 320N
hence the effort applies is 320N
When you know both the speed and direction of an object’s motion, you know the
Answer:
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's motion, you know the velocity of the object.
When you know both the speed and direction of an object’s motion, you know the magnitude of the speed and direction in which it is moving.
What is Speed ?Speed is a rate of change of distance with respect to time. i.e. v =dx÷dt.
Speed can also be defined as distance over time
i.e. speed= distance ÷ time
it is denoted by v and its SI unit is m/s. it is a scalar quantity. i.e. it has only magnitude not direction. ( velocity is a vector quantity, it has both magnitude and direction. when we define velocity, we should know about its direction)
Speed shows how much distance can be traveled in unit time.
As speed is scalar quantity it has nothing to do with the direction. but when magnitude of speed is given and the direction as well, then we can say that a car or body is moving with this much speed at this direction(east, north, west, south).

A plane lands and comes to a complete stop. If the plane covers 200 m and decelerates at 7.5 m/s2 , what was the planes initial velocity as it touched the runway?
Answer:
The initial velocity of the plane is 54.77 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
distance covered by the plane, d = 200 m
deceleration of the plane, a = - 7.5 m/s²
The initial velocity of the plane is given by the following kinematic equation;
v² = u² + 2ad
where;
v is the final velocity of the plane when the plane comes to a complete stop = 0
u is the initial velocity of the plane
0 = u² + 2(-7.5 x 200)
0 = u² - 3000
u² = 3000
u = √3000
u = 54.77 m/s
Therefore, the initial velocity of the plane is 54.77 m/s

a 5.00 kg plane is speeding up on the ground with an applied force of 706 N. If the net force is 450 N, what would be the force due to air resistance
Answer:
The force due to air resistance is 256 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the plane, m = 5 kg
applied force on the plane, Fa = 706 N
the net force on the plane, ∑F= 450 N
Let the force due to air resistance = Fr
The net force on the plane is given as;
Net force = applied force - force due to air resistance
∑F = Fa - Fr
Fr = Fa - ∑F
Fr = 706 - 450
Fr = 256 N.
Therefore, the force due to air resistance is 256 N.
