The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.
The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:
7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42
So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.
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:
h = 2.5 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg
Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s
We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

Put all the values,

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.
The average kinetic energy of the particles is higher in the hot tea, so it also has greater thermal energy then the cold tea.
