Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

It is controlled by the amount of neutrons available.

The rate of fission of heavy element is controlled by the number the number of neutrons. in the fission reaction of Uranium - 235, when one neutron is bombarded on one Uranium 235, three neutrons, small elements along with lot of energy is produced. Now three neutrons bombard three Uranium 235 atoms so that the lot of amount of energy is liberated. it is called uncontrolled chain reaction.

When the number of neutrons are absorbed and only one neutron is available for fission, then energy is in controlled manner and it is called controlled fission reaction. In this reaction, controlled amount of energy is released.

A soccer ball of diameter 22.6cm and mass 426g rolls up a hill without slipping, reaching a maximum height of 5m above the base

-Dominant- [34]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=d=22.6 cm

Mass,m=426 g= $426\times 10^{-3} kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Radius,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{22.6}{2}=11.3 cm=11.3\times 10^{-2} m$

1m=100 cm

Height,h=5m

$I=\frac{2}{2}mr^2$

a.By law of conservation of energy

$\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}mr^2\omega^2+\frac{1}{2}mr^2\omega^2=mgh$

$v=\omega r$

$gh=\frac{1}{3}r^2+\frac{1}{2}r^2=\frac{5}{6}r^2\omega^2$

$\omega^2=\frac{6}{5r^2}gh$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{6gh}{5r^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{6\times 9.8\times 5}{5(11.3\times 10^{-2})^2}}=67.86 rad/s$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

b.Rotational kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}mr^2\omega^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}(426\times 10^{-3})(11.3\times 10^{-2})^2(67.86)^2=8.35 J$

Rotational kinetic energy=8.35 J

Can you use a machine to gain both force and speed at the same time? explain.

crimeas [40]

Well, It rather depends on your definition of "machine." The normal physics set of simple machines - levers, pulleys, ramps all give you increased the force at the expense of reduced speed or increased the rate at the cost of reduced force. So, no - by definition a machine is an arrangement for multiplying one while paying the cost by reducing the other. You are looking at an example of the Conservation of Energy. One of the giant rules we are pretty sure cannot be violated.<span>

Why is it dangerous to connect a battery to itself. what is the term used to describe that

Yuki888 [10]

In the circuit outside of the battery the electrons have to expend all of their energy on the internal resistance of the battery which causes heating

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at 10.8 m/s2 . what is its speed at the end of a 400 m long runway?

Cloud [144]

The final speed of an airplane is v = 92.95 m/s

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction is known as speed i.e. in other word, Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.

Solution-

Here given,

Acceleration a= 10.8 m/s2 .

Displacement (s)= 400m

Then to find final speed of airplane v=?

Therefore from equation of motion can be written as,

v²=u²+ 2as

where, u is initial speed, v is final speed ,a is acceleration and s is displacement of the airplane. Therefore by putting the value of a & s in above equation and (u =0) i.e. the initial speed of airplane is zero.

v²= 2×10.8 m/s²×400m

v²=8640m/s

v=92.95m/s

hence the final speed of airplane v =92.95m/s

To know more about speed
