The answer is actually True, I just took the test and it was correct.
Explanation:
Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.
Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.
Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.
As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.
Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed.
Equating momentum before and after collision:
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
This question is not complete.
The complete question is as follows:
One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?
Explanation:
a. Using the expression;
T = 2π√R/g
where R = radius of the space = diameter/2
R = 800/2 = 400m
g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
1/T = number of revolutions per second
T = 2π√R/g
T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8
T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13
1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute
