Answer:
<em>Correct choice: b 4H</em>
Explanation:
<u>Conservation of the mechanical energy</u>
The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):
E = U + K
The GPE is calculated as:
U = mgh
And the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
g = gravitational acceleration
h = height of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:
When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:
Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2
![\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20mgH%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dmv%5E2%20%20%20%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B1%5D)
For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:
Operating:
![\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20mgH%27%3D4%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dm%28v%29%5E2%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B2%5D)
Dividing [2] by [1]
Simplifying:
Thus:
H' = 4H
Correct choice: b 4H
Answer:
Seismometer
Explanation:
Seismometer measures Earth quake epicenter while seismograph measures Earth quake size
Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive
Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>
The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
Work Done = Force x Distance Moved
Work Done = 25 x 15 = 375 Joules
Answer:
33,458.71 turns
Explanation:
Given: L = 37 cm = 0.37 m, B= 0.50 T, I = 4.4 A, n= number of turn per meter
μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷
Solution:
We have B = μ₀ × n × I
⇒ n = B/ (μ₀ × I)
n = 0.50 T / ( 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷ × 4.4 A)
n = 90,428.94 turn/m
No. of turn through 0.37 m long solenoid = 90,428.94 turn/m × 0.37
= 33,458.71 turns
