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 car with a mass of 710 kg is traveling at 37 km/hr. It accelerates to a speed of 120 km/hr in 12.6 seconds. What is the net fo
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: The net force acting on the car 1,299.3 N.

Explanation:

Mass of the car = 710 kg

Initial velocity of the car of the ,u= 37 km/h= 10.27 m/s (1km\h=\frac{5}{18} m/s)

Final velocity of the car,v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

time taken b y car = 12.6 sec

v-u=at

33.33m/s-10.27m/s=23.06 m/s=a(12.6 sec)

a = 1.83 m/s^2

Force=mass\times acceleration

Force=710 kg\times 1.83 m/s^2

Force=1,299.3 N

The net force acting on the car 1,299.3 N.
