For pressurized water reactors the coolant is not permitted to boil in the core of the PRW, however the coolant in boiling water reactors is permitted to do so in the core of BWR. Pressurized water reactors have an indirect cycle. Whereas, the boiling water reactors go through a direct cycle. Both are light water reactors.

Explanation:

The main difference between the pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors is in the process of generation of steam. A boiling water reactor uses a single water circuit to produce steam directly while a pressurized  water reactor produces steam indirectly using two water circuits. In a boiling water reactor steam is directly produced by boiling the water coolant while in pressurized reactor the heat from the reactor core is used.

The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Wher
igor_vitrenko [27]

The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.

-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of the force AND by  the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still </u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>.   </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>.  All we know is that
one force must have been removed.

-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going. 

-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?

-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?

-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?

I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.

Which equation relates charge, time, and current?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

I = Δq / t

Explanation:

The quantity of electricity i.e charge is related to current and time according to the equation equation:

Q = It

Δq = It

Where:

Q => is the quantity of electricity i.e charge

I => is the current.

t => is the time.

Thus, we can rearrange the above expression to make 'I' the subject. This is illustrated below:

Δq = It

Divide both side by t

I = Δq / t

loris [4]

Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s
