Answer:
Nuclear fission produces the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that uses power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei. When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of radioactive material like uranium or plutonium, it knocks two or three more neutrons free.
Explanation:
this chain reaction releases tremendous amount of energy
It is strong enough to penetrate through flesh but not bone so we can see if there are fractures or breaks in our skeleton
Answer:
The cooling time will not be reduced.
Explanation:
The time to cook is virtually the same in both types, vigorously and gently boiling water.
The reason cooking of spaghetti calls for vigorously boiling water is to keep the pasta agitated so that they do not stick to one another.
The temperature of boiling water is the same for both vigorously boiling water and gently boiling water, therefore there will be little time difference in when the potatoes will cook when it is done with vigorously boiling water than when it is cooked with gently boiling water.
However cooking potatoes in vigorously boiling water may cause the water to dry up on time and the potatoes get burnt.
Answer:W = 1.23×10^-6BTU
Explanation: Work = Surface tension × (A1 - A2)
W= Surface tension × 3.142 ×(D1^2 - D2^2)
Where A1= Initial surface area
A2= final surface area
Given:
D1=0.5 inches , D2= 3 inches
D1= 0.5 × (1ft/12inches)
D1= 0.0417 ft
D2= 3 ×(1ft/12inches)
D2= 0.25ft
Surface tension = 0.005lb ft^-1
W = [(0.25)^2 - (0.0417)^2]
W = 954 ×10^6lbf ft × ( 1BTU/778lbf ft)
W = 1.23×10^-6BTU
Answer:
(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.
Explanation:
Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg
Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)
It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s (as it rebounds so positive)
(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
p = m(v-u)
p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))
p = 3.4 kg-m/s
(b) Impulse = change in momentum
Ft = 3.4
We have, t = 0.09 s
Hence, this is the required solution.
