Control rods<span> are </span>rods<span>, plates, or tubes containing a neutron absorbing material (material with high absorbtion cross-section for thermal neutron) such as boron, hafnium, cadmium, etc., used to </span>control<span> the power of a nuclear reactor.
so the statement that describe a control rod is:
</span><span>Control rods are lowered into the reactor to slow down the reaction by absorbing neutrons.</span>
Answer:
frictonal force due to the surface of irregularities
Answer:
3.69 m/s
Explanation:
Forces :
mgsin Θ - mumgcosΘ = ma
g x sinΘ - mu x g x cosΘ = a
9.8 x sin 21 - 0.53 x 9.8 x cos 21 = a
a = -1.337 m/s²
so you have final velocity = 0 m/s
initial velocity = ? m/s
Given d = 5.1 m
By kinematics
vf² = vo² + 2ad
0 = vo² + 2 x -1.337*5.1
vo = 3.69 m/s
An example is when u rub your pen on your hair hard that is friction
