Each time a uranium nucleus splits<span> up it releases energy and three neutrons. If all the neutrons are allowed to be absorbed by other uranium nuclei the chain reaction will spiral out of control causing an explosion. To control the energy released in the reactor moveable control rods are placed between the fuel rods.</span>

Answer:

8.75

Explanation:

First, find the force of friction.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.9 m/s)² = F (1.4 m)

F = 11.7 N

Next, find the distance at the new velocity.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.5 × 2.9 m/s)² = (11.7 N) d

d = 8.75 m

A toy dart gun generates a dart with a momentum of 140 kg*m/s and a
irinina [24]

Answer:

35 kg

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum (I) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

I = m×v................... Equation 1

Where m = mass, v = velocity

make m the subject of the equation

m = I/v.................... Equation 2

Given: I = 140 kgm/s, v = 4 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 140/4

m = 35 kg

Hence the mass of the dart is 35 kg

A compass in a magnetic field will line up __________.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Option c

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines form loops starting from north pole to south pole outside the magnet and from south pole to north pole inside the magnet.

Thus the field is such that it is directed outwards from the North pole and directed inwards to the South pole of the magnet.

A compass in a magnetic field will will comply with the magnet's North pole directing towards the magnetic field.

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg ·m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.8
Rasek [7]

Answer

given,

I = 0.140 kg ·m²

decrease from 3.00 to 0.800 kg ·m²/s in 1.50 s.

a) \tau = \dfrac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}

   \tau = \dfrac{0.8-3}{1.5}

        τ = -1.467 N m

b) angle at which fly wheel will turn

   \theta= \omega t +\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

   \theta= \dfrac{L}{I} t +\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\tau}{I}t^2

   \theta= \dfrac{3}{0.14}\times 1.5+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{-1.467}{0.14}\times 1.5^2

        θ = 20.35 rad

c) work done on the wheel

     W = τ x θ

     W = -1.467 x 20.35 rad

    W = -29.86 J

d) average power of wheel

    P_{av} =-\dfrac{W}{t}

    P_{av} =-\dfrac{(-29.86)}{1.5}

     P_{av} =19.91\ W

Which of the following would be a good question that could be scientifically investigated? What is the best advice a parent can
Nesterboy [21]
<span>"Does lack of sunlight affect plant growth?"

This question can be investigated with procedures according to
the Scientific Method, because "lack of sunlight" can be arranged
unambiguously, and "affected plant growth" can be identified
unambiguously.

The other questions involve words or phrases with ambiguous definitions,
that can mean different things to different people, and would be hard to
agree on, like  "</span><span>best advice",  "sound quality",  and  "happiness in life".</span>
