Nuclear energy is released during: fission. radioactive decay. man-induced splitting of atoms. Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons -> moderator. 2. absorb emitted neutrons -> control rods.

An engineer is designing a runway. She knows that a plane, starting at rest, needs to reach a speed of 180mph at take-off. If th

Answer:

The plane would need to travel at least $8,\!580\; {\rm ft}$ ( $8.58 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}$ .)

The $10,\!000\; {\rm ft}$ runway should be sufficient.

Explanation:

Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to $\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}v &= 180\; {\rm mph} \\ &= 180\; {\rm mi \cdot hrs^{-1}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm hrs}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \times \frac{5280\; {\rm ft}}{1\; {\rm mi}} \\ &= 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Initial velocity of the plane: $u = 0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Take-off velocity of the plane $v =264\; {\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Let $x$ denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation $x = ((u + v) / 2) \, t$ .

Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration $t$ times average velocity $(u + v) / 2$ .

The distance that the plane need to cover would be:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\, t \\ &= \frac{0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}} + 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}}{2} \times 65.0\; {\rm s} \\ &= 8.58\times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}\end{aligned}$ .

What is the proper way to start a fire?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

STEP 1: Gather Your Tools. There's a bit more to building a great campfire than simply placing a few logs in a heap ... If your site has a fire ring, you'll probably have to push the ash and charcoal from ... (Remember, tinder is the really light, quick burning material.) 1. ... Then build a larger teepee of firewood over the kindling.
