Nuclear power plants use a fission reaction of uranium to generate heat to power a generator. A fission reaction is a chain reac

tion that continues to build and create more heat. How is the chain reaction controlled?
A.
The amount of uranium fuel can be reduced to slow the chain reaction down.
B.
The plant uses control rods that can be inserted into the reaction vessel to control the reaction.
C.
Water is added to the reaction to the reaction vessel to cool it down and slow the chain reaction.
D.
The extra heat that is created from the chain reaction is released into the air and keeps the reaction under control.

ANSWER
B.

Explanation : it’s B because the control rods used are usually made of boron which boron is a non fissile material hence won’t undergo fission when bombarded or collided with neutrons.

Why do a planets speed change in orbit
gayaneshka [121]

According to Kepler's  second law of orbital motion, a plane's orbital speed changes , depending on how far it is from the sun. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves.  The farther away from the sun, the weaker the sun's gravitational pull and the slower it moves in its orbit.

The orbit of a planet around the sun is not  a perfect circle, but  an ellipse - a flattened circle.

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

This table shows the densities of a sample of substances.
Arisa [49]
When placed in a container, the heaviest (most dense) will sink to the bottom and the lightest (least dense) will rise to the top.
Therefore, Gasoline would rise to the top.
