e-lub [12.9K]
You should not go into the left side of the roadway when within 100 feet of the crossing. Moreover, you should also turn on your turn signal when within 100 of a turn. These precautions prevent accidents as it makes clear to other drivers what your intentions are and drivers making turns are not endangered.

zimovet [89]

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]

A rigid tank internal energy of fluid 800kJ. Fluid loses 500kJ of heat and padle wheel does 100kJ of work. Find final internal e
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

 U₂ = 400 KJ      

Explanation:

Given that

Initial energy of the tank ,U₁= 800 KJ

Heat loses by fluid ,Q= - 500 KJ

Work done on the fluid ,W= - 100 KJ

Sign -

1.Heat rejected by system - negative

2.Heat gain by system - Positive

3.Work done by system = Positive

4.Work done on the system-Negative

Lets take final internal energy =U₂

We know that

Q= U₂ - U₁ + W

-500 = U₂ - 800 - 100

U₂ = -500 +900 KJ

U₂ = 400 KJ

Therefore the final internal energy = 400 KJ

A skydiver of 75 kg mass has a terminal velocity of 60 m/s. At what speed is the resistive force on the skydiver half that when
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of skydiver, m = 75 kg

terminal velocity, V_T = 60 \ m/s

The resistive force on the skydiver is known as drag force.

Drag force is directly proportional to square of terminal velocity.

F_D = kV_T^2

Where;

k is a constant

k = \frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2}

When the new drag force is half of the original drag force;

F_D_2 = \frac{F_D_1}{2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_1}{2V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{1}{2V_{T2}^2}\\\\2V_{T2}^2 = V_{T1}^2\\\\V_{T2}^2= \frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} \\\\V_{T2}= \sqrt{\frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} } \\\\V_{T2}=  \frac{V_{T1}}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{T2}=  0.7071(V_{T1})\\\\V_{T2}= 0.7071(60 \ m/s)\\\\V_{T2}= 42.426 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s
