Answer:
5Hz
Explanation:
Frequency = No. of waves per second
10 waves are produced in 2 seconds
in one second 10/2 waves are produced
(ie) 5 waves are produced in 1 second
Therefore the frequency of wave is 5 Hz
Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.
Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.
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.
