Together nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams provide about 50% of the power generated for the United States doing so in a clean and efficient manner. Both systems have their ups and down‚ radiation and disrupting ecosystems for example‚ but their benefits far outweigh the small risks and problems they create. We have progressed in leaps and bounds in power development making these two much safer and efficient than most other ways to generate electricity. Hydroelectric dams create a substantial

It is true that there are lots of advantages that can be obtained if the proposal will be pursued. However‚ the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant proposal also causes numerous disadvantages. It brings harmful or even fatal effects in the body. A nuclear meltdown can often occur which will release massive amounts of radiation into the community. Furthermore‚ it is too costly just to build a power plant. Maintenance and operating costs are also high because lots of money must be sent on safety systems in case

Graphical Analysis Aim: To investigate‚ by graphical means‚ the relationship between periodic time and length for a simple pendulum. Apparatus: Pendulum bob‚ light string‚ clamp stand‚ meter ruler‚ stopwatch‚ graph paper. Theory: The relationship between two physical quantities can be determined by graphical means. For a simple pendulum‚ the relationship between periodic time and length is given by the equation Where‚ T is the periodic time‚ 1 is the length of the pendulum string and

Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated.

-Pendulum Bob -Nylon String -Stopwatch Method 1) Determine the effect on the period (T) of the pendulum when the mass (m) of the bob is altered. Set up the pendulum with a 20 cm length of string (L) so that the bob swings near a backboard. Pull the bob 6 cm to one side (the amplitude)‚ then release it so that it swings parallel to the board. Another observer should use a stopwatch to measure the time for 20 complete swings. One swing is the time the bob takes
