Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive
Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>
The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
Answer:
<u>We are given:</u>
displacement (s) = 130 m
acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²
final velocity (v) = 0 m/s [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]
initial velocity (u) = u m/s
<u>Solving for initial velocity:</u>
From the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
replacing the variables
(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)
-u² = -1300
u² = 1300
u = √1300
u = 36 m/s
Answer:
the magnitude of the work done by the two blocks is the same.
Explanation:
The work done by block a on block b is given by:
where Fa is the force exerted by block a on block b, and d is the distance they cover.
The work done by block b on block a is given by:
where Fb is the force exerted by block b on block a, and d is still the distance they cover.
For Newton's third law, the force exerted by block a on block b is equal to the force exerted by block b on block a, therefore
and so
Answer:
The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.
So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.
So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point
4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5 since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart
Then 1/5 * 100 deg C = 20 deg C the requested temperature
