It's a matter of opinion perhaps, but I would say the possibility of rogue states using them to obtain fissile plutonium to make bombs.

What substance has greater average kinetic energy at 10 degree celsius?

Greater than what? Compared to what? This question cannot be answered as currently posed.


Is nuclear energy also called Atomic energy?

Having never actually seen an atom called atomic energy, this question is not easy to answer as posed. What is seen often is a reference to atomic energy, atomic power or an atom(ic) bomb. All of these references are based on a fundamental misconception. You can get energy from the interactions between atoms; this is the energy properly known as chemical energy. Chemical energy is what causes the explosion of Dynamite, the running of a gas engine, the burning of a fire and the functioning of our bodies from eating food. An atom consists of a nucleus ( heavy and positively charged) and one or more electrons ( light and negatively charged) in orbit around around it. When two or more atoms join together they form a molecule. Molecules are held together by interactions between the electrons orbiting two or more atoms, and the positive charges on the nuclei of the atoms involved. Every atom and every molecule has energy associated with it. When a chemical reaction takes place there is a total energy of all the reactants, and a total energy for all the products of the reaction. If the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products then the surplus is given off as heat. This is called an exothermic reaction. If the energy of the reactants is less than that of the products it is an endothermic reaction. To make this reaction go you must supply energy, usually in the form of heat.1 For most of man's history all2 the energy we used has been chemical. The recent developments of atomic~ are just mis-named; what people mean (without actually knowing it) is nuclear energy, nuclear power station, nuclear weapon. 1.Usually. Sometimes the energy comes from light, as in photosynthesis. 2. Almost all. Sunlight (and heat) comes from nuclear energy inside the sun. Contribution interrupted - more follows.


What is the danger posed by people in the balcony of a auditorium stamping their feet in a steady rhythm?

The danger entails the exciting the resonant frequency of the balcony. Every structure has resonant frequencies associated with the dimensions of the structure. The structure can absorb the energy of the stamping at the resonant anti-nodes and reaching a breaking point, collapse the structure.


Forces of any two materials the force required to overcome sliding fiction is greater than the force to overcome starting friction?

If I understand the question correctly: It is actually ill-posed. The frictions you are refering to are dynamic (sliding) and static (starting). I think you will find that static friction is always harder to over come than dynamic friction, not vice-versa.


What are two questions that cannot be answered by science?

1) How big is the universe2) is there a godAnswer:Science can answer any question about real things that is posed to it. The answer might not be available at the present time but it eventually will be answered,That leaves two types of question that cannot be answered:Questions that are based on imaginary objects or events (What colour are the Easter Bunny's ears, What is "pretty" etc.)Questions based on paradoxes which by definition cannot be answered (What is the biggest number possible) or questions that have non-defined terms (Why do bad things happen to good people)
