the atomic number of uranium-235 is 92, its half-life is 704 million years, and the radioactive decay of 1 kg of 235u releases 6

.7 × 1013 j. radioactive material must be stored in a safe container or buried deep underground until its radiation output drops to a safe level. generally, it is considered "safe" after 10 half-lives.

The overall efficiency of the conversion is 6.93%.

<h3>What is the overall efficiency?</h3>

We know that generation of electricity from radioactive fuels is one of the major ways by which we can generate electricity in many countries. Now the efficiency of each of the steps have been shown in the question;

  • Conversion efficiency = 35%
  • Transmission efficiency = 90%
  • Light  efficiency = 22%

Overall efficiency = (0.35 * 0.90 * 0.22) * 100 = 6.93%

The energy is obtained from;

6.7X10^13 J * 6.93/100

= 4.6 * 10^12 J

Missing parts;

The atomic number of uranium-235 is 92, its half-life is 704 million years and the radioactive decay of l kg of 235U releases 6.7X10^13 J. Generally, radioactive material is considered safe after 10 half-lives.

Assume that a nuclear powerplant can convert energy from 235U into electricity with an efficiency of 35%, the electrical transmission lines operate at 90% efficiency, and flourescent lights operate at 22% efficiency.

1.) What is the overall efficiency of converting the energy of 235U into flourescent light?

2.) How much energy from 1 kg of 235U is converted into flourescent light?

The weight of a hydraulic barber's chair with a client is 2100 N. When the barber steps on the input piston with a force of 44 N
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9

Explanation:

According to Pascal's Law, the pressure transmitted from input pedal to the output plunger must be same:

P_1 = P_2\\\\\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\pi r_1^2}{\pi r_2^2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}

where,

F₁ = Load lifted by output plunger = 2100 N

F₂ = Force applied on input piston = 44 N

r₁ = radius of output plunger

r₂ = radius of input piston

Therefore,

\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}=\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}\\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9

Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) The overall work done by gravity is zero  

This statement is correct .

If m be the mass of each of the children and h be the height of tower

work done by gravity on the boys in going up = - mgh

it is so because force applied by gravity = mg downwards and displacement

is upwards

work done will be negative = - mgh

Work done by gravity on boys when they come down = + mgh because both force and displacement are downwards .

Hence total work done = - mgh + mgh = 0.

The children will have same kinetic energy as the inclined surface is friction-less so no energy will be dissipated hence addition of energy to boys in both the cases will be same.
