Answer:

Control rods

Explanation:

Control rods is unique to nuclear power plants as they are mainly used in nuclear reactors to stabilize the rate of fission of plutonium or uranium. They are usually composed of chemical elements such as cadmium, silver, boron, and indium.

Answer:

Control rods

Explanation:

Control rods are used to control the rate of nuclear chain reaction in nuclear reactors. The reactivity of the nuclear reactor is greatly affected by the distance of control rods inserted and number of control rods inserted. Control rods control the rate of fission of uranium, etc., in a nuclear reactor

Answer:

inertia

Explanation:

The property of matter that will keep the body in motion when the car comes to a halt is the inertia force.

Inertia is the ability of a body to remain in static position. It is the tendency to remain in a stable condition where there is no motion.

Newton's first law is the law of inertia and it states that a body remain in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
The ability to remain in state of rest by a body is predicated on the force of inertia.

Plz help..During takeoff a plane accelerates at 4m/s^2 and takes 40s to reach takeoff speed.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the plane at take off is 160 m/s.

The distance travel by the plane in that time is 3200 meter.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 40 s

u = 0 i .e initial velocity

To Find:

velocity , v = ?

distance , s =?

Solution:

we have first Kinematic equation

v = u + at

∴ v = 0 + 4×40

∴ v = 160 m/s

Now by Third Kinematic equation

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

∴ s = 0 + 0.5 × 4× 40²

∴ s = 3200 meter
