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.
Answer:
45200J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Heat of vaporization of water = 2260J/g
Mass of steam = 20g
Temperature = 100°C
Unknown:
Energy released during the condensation = ?
Solution:
This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature
To find the amount of heat released;
H = mL
m is the mass
L is the latent heat of vaporization
Insert the parameters and solve;
H = 20g x 2260J/g
H = 45200J

The reason why your body goes right and the car car goes left is because your body tries to stay where it was, which is on the right. Your upper body doesn't feel a force and because of that continues in the same direction. Your lower half is pulled out from under you by seat friction to the left, leaving you leaning to the right.
For any force and any mass, the acceleration is always
(the strength of the force) divided by (the mass) .
If a force of 5 newtons is applied to a mass of 5 kg, the acceleration will be
(5 Newtons) / (5 kg) = <em>1 m/s²</em>
