The waste products of a nuclear fission powerplant can best be described asa. Small in quantity and not very dangerous.
b. Large in quantity and not very dangerous.
c. Large in quantity and very dangerously radioactive. Eliminate
d. Small in quantity and very dangerously radioactive.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The answer is D. small in quantity and very dangerously radioactive.
Answer 2
Answer: a.
 
-> the products are stable atoms with a much lower atomic number. For example, Uranium 238 commonly breaks down into strontium and xenon, both of which are stable and non-radioactive.

They are also low in quantity because of the precision involved in breaking down a large atom via neutron capture means that few fission reactions take place.

Hope I helped :)

The statement that "The universe is the same everywhere and does not change over time" is known as _____.a. the cosmological principle
b. the perfect cosmological principle
c. the oscillating universe theory
d. the steady state theory

Answers

Answer: b. the perfect cosmological principle

Explanation:

The perfect cosmological principle is the extension of the cosmological principle. It states that the universe is homogeneous. It looks same from everywhere. It will look the same. It will never change over time instead of some of the gross changes occurring in the universe.

The answer is B- Perfect Cosmological Principle

Explain the difference between a conductor and an insulator. Give two examples of each.

Answers

There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors).A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity.Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

In a game of darts, the dart thrower releases the dart directly at the center of the target (the "bull’s eye") with a speed of 13.0 m/s, and the dart strikes the wall, 0.23 m directly below the center of the target. How far from the wall, along the x-axis, was the dart released?

Answers

Answer:2.81 m

Explanation:

Given

speed(u)=13 m/s

dart strikes 0.23 m below

i.e. vertical distance traveled by dart is 0.23 m

considering dart motion similar to Projectile

h=ut+(at^2)/(2)

0.23=0+(9.8t^2)/(2)

t=0.216 s

Horizontal distance travel by dart =u\times t

=13* 0.216=2.81 m

Which soil horizon is located closest to the earth's crust? O horizon A horizon B horizon C horizon

Answers

The C horizon because it lays on the hard bedrock of the earths crust.
The soil horizon located closest to the surface of the earth's crust would be the O Horizon, which consists of organic deposits (hence the O) and composting plant structures.

Which law describes why a charged object attracts another object even though they are not in contact? A. Faraday's law B. Ohm's law C. Interaction law D. Coulomb's law

Answers

The correct answer is (d.) Coulomb's law. the Coulomb's law describes why a charged object attracts another object even though they are not in contact. The Coulomb's law is a law of physics in which describing how the electrostatic interaction happens between electrically charged particles.

On a horizontal frictionless surface a mass M is attached to two light elastic strings both having length l and both made of the same material. The mass is displaced by a small displacement Δy such that equal tensions T exist in the two strings, as shown in the figure. The mass is released and begins to oscillate back and forth. Assume that the displacement is small enough so that the tensions do not change appreciably. (a) Show that the restoring force on the mass can be given by F = -(2T∆y)/l (for small angles) (b) Derive an expression for the frequency of oscillation.
