U = 0, initial vertical velocity
v = 60 mph = 88 ft/s

Ignore air resistance and take g = 32 ft/s².
It t = time to attain 60 mph, then
(88 ft/s) = (32 ft/s²)*(t s)
t = 88/32 = 2.75 s

Answer: 2.75 s

Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.
Gelneren [198K]

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.

A heat engine is 20% efficient. If it loses 800 J to the cooling system and exhaust during each cycle, the work done by the engi
Maurinko [17]

Answer: A. 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

Explanation:

Given ;

The efficiency of the heat engine is E = 20% = 0.2

Heat loss L= 800J

For an heat engine the efficiency is measured by the amount of workdone by the heat engine when compared to the heat generated.

Efficiency E = workdone/heat generated × 100%

Heat generated G= workdone W + heat loss L

G = W + L

According to the question.

W = 20% of G

W = 0.2G ......1

L = 80% of G

L = 0.8G

G = L/0.8 ......2

Substituting equation 2 to 1

W = 0.2(L/0.8)

And L = 800J

W = 0.2(800/0.8)

W = 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

Which of the following is true when an object of mass m moving on a horizontal frictionless surface hits and sticks to an object
vivado [14]

Answer:

C. The initial momentum should be equal to the final momentum due to the conservation of momentum.

P_{initial} = mv_0\\P_{final} = (M+m)v_1\\v_1 = \frac{m}{M+m}v_0

Since m/(M+m) < 1, v_1 > v_0.

Explanation:

Wrong -> A. Since the smaller particle still moves after the collision, it has a kinetic energy.

Wrong -> B. The total initial momentum is equal to the momentum of the smaller particle. Therefore, the momentum of the objects that stuck together is equal to that of the smaller object.

Wrong -> D. Since the bigger object is initially at rest and the surface is frictionless, the direction of motion will be the same as the direction of the smaller particle.
