Answer:

B. Nuclear fusion generates less radioactive waste than nuclear fission.

Explanation:

There are basically two types of nuclear reaction nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fission one molecule breaks into two atoms and generate enormous energy and in nuclear fusion two atoms combined and form a molecule. In nuclear fusion energy released is more than nuclear fission. And waste is generated more in case of nuclear fission.

The correct option is B.
Nuclear fission and fusion are two different types of nuclear reactions, through which energy may be obtained. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a molecule into two different part in order to generate energy while nuclear fusion reaction involves the joining together of two elements in other to form one product. Nuclear fission generate much radioactive waste than nuclear fusion. The radioactive waste that is obtainable during nuclear fusion is less than 1% of that produce by nuclear fission.

An Object moving at a velocity of 30 m/s slows to a stop in 7 seconds. What was its acceleration

ollegr [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.29 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken acting on it can be found by using the formula

$acceleration = \frac{velocity}{time} \\$

From the question

velocity = 30 m/s

time = 7 s

We have

$acceleration = \frac{30}{7} \\ = 4.285714...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follow

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force P is acting upward

C is vertical contact Force

W is the weight of the crate

As P is unable to move the Block therefore Normal reaction keeps on acting on block

thus we can say that

P-W+C=0

P=W-C

Barker is unloading 20kg bottles of water from this delivery truck when one of the bottles tips over and slides down the truck r

Degger [83]

<span>The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.</span>

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's

ivolga24 [154]

1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$ (1)
where
f is the focal length
$d_o$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$d_i$ is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, $d_o = 18 cm$ , while $d_i=-4 cm$ (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}$
from which we find
$f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm$

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
$r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm$
