definition of breeder reactors.

These are a type of nuclear reactors which produce more fissile material than they consume

Advantages: Breeder reactors produce Pu-239 which can be extensively used as a nuclear fuel. Also, Pu-239 can absorb neutron to form Pu-240, which is another fertile material.[1]

On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits
slega [8]

Answer:

1/3 the distance from the fulcrum

Explanation:

On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:

W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2

where

W1 is the weight of the boy

d1 is its distance from the fulcrum

W2 is the weight of his partner

d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum

In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so

W_1 = 3 W_2

If we substitute this into the equation, we find:

(3 W_2) d_1 = W_2 d_2

and by simplifying:

3 d_1 = d_2\\d_1 = \frac{1}{3}d_2

which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.

Why do the graphs differ?​
melisa1 [442]

Well first graph represents rectangular hyperbola

vu = c^2 ( c is constant)

AS 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Take1/ f to be constant c

1/v = c - 1/u

it is of the form y = - x + k

Slope = -1 having intercept k as shown in fig 2

<h2>The temperature of the air is 66.8° C</h2>

Explanation:

From the Newton's  velocity of sound relationship , the velocity of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature .

In this case The velocity of sound = frequency x wavelength

= 798 x 0.48 = 383 m/sec

Suppose the temperature at this time = T K

Thus 383 ∝ \sqrt{T}                       I

The velocity of sound is 329 m/s at 273 K ( given )

Thus 329 ∝ \sqrt{273}                   II

Dividing I by II , we have

\frac{383}{329} = \sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }

or \frac{T}{273} = 1.25

and T = 339.8 K  = 66.8° C
