In a nuclear-fueled power plant – much like a fossil-fueled power plant – water isturned into steam, which in turn drives turbine generators to produce electricity. The difference is the source of heat. At nuclear power plants, the heat to make the steam is created when uranium atoms split – called fission.

How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

A series circuit consists of a 100-ω resistor, a 10.0-μf capacitor, and a 0.350-h inductor. the circuit is connected to a 120-v

Current will be $I=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{Z}=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{\sqrt{ R^{2}+(X_{C}-X_{L})^{2}}}\\where~X_{c}=\dfrac{1}{j.\omega .C}~and~X_{L}=j.\omega.L~where~\omega=2.\pi f~and~f=60Hz$

In the presence of a dielectric, the capacitance of a electric field inside the plates now is: a) Less b) More c) Same as the el

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the dielectric is inserted between the plates of a capacitor, the capacitance becomes K times and the electric field between the plates becomes 1 / K times the original value. Where, K be the dielectric constant.

There are many factors that determine if an aircraft can operate from a given airport. Of course the availability of certain services, such as fuel, access to air stairs and maintenance are all necessary. But before considering anything else, one must determine if the plane can physically land at an airport, and equally as important, take off.

What is the minimum runway length that will serve?

Looking at aerial views of runways can lead some to the assumption that they are all uniform, big and appropriate for any plane to land. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

A given aircraft type has its own individual set of requirements in regards to these dimensions. The classic 150’ wide runway that can handle a wide-body plane for a large group charter flight isn’t a guarantee at every airport. Knowing the width of available runways is important for a variety of reasons including runway illusion and crosswind condition.

Runways also have different approach categories based on width, and have universal threshold markings that indicate the actual width.
