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

A tuning fork with a frequency of 335 Hz and a tuning fork of unknown frequency produce beats with a frequency of 5.3 when struc
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unknown fork frequency is either

335 + 5.3 = 340.3 Hz

or

335 - 5.3 = 329.7 Hz

After we modify the known fork, the unknown fork frequency equation becomes either

(335 - x) + 8 = 340.3

(335 - x)  = 332.3

x = 2.7 Hz

or

(335 - x) + 8 = 329.7

(335 - x) = 321.7

x = 13.3 Hz

IF the unknown fork frequency was 340.3 Hz,

THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 2.7 = 332.3 Hz

IF the unknown fork frequency was 329.7 Hz,

THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 13.3 = 321.7 Hz

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Explanation:

This method is called  finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Cepheid variable is actually a type of star that has a radial pulsation having a varying brightness and diameter. This change in brightness is very well defined having a period and amplitude.

A potent clear link between the luminosity and pulsation period of a Cepheid variable developed Cepheids as an important determinants of cosmic criteria for scaling galactic and extra galactic distances. Henrietta Swan Leavitt revealed this robust feature of conventional Cepheid in 1908 after observing thousands of variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This in fact turn, by making comparisons its established luminosity to its measured brightness, allows one to evaluate the distance to the star.

supose at 20 degree celsius the resistance of Tungsten thermometer is 154.9. WHen placed in a particular solution , the resistan
saw5 [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 95.56°C

Explanation:

The final resistance of a material after being heated is given by the relation:

R' = R(1 + αΔT)

where,

R' = Final Resistance = 207.4 Ω

R = Initial Resistance = 154.9 Ω

α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of Tungsten = 0.0045 °C⁻¹

ΔT = Change in Temperature = ?

Therefore,

207.4 Ω = 154.9 Ω[1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT]

207.4 Ω/154.9 Ω = 1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

1.34 - 1 = (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

ΔT = 0.34/0.0045°C⁻¹

ΔT = 75.56°C

but,

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 20°C

T₂ - 20°C = 75.56°C

T₂ = 75.56°C + 20°C

<u>T₂ = 95.56°C</u>

A 2 kg rubber ball is thrown at a wall horizontally at 3 m/s, and bounces back the way it came at an equal speed. A 2 kg clay ba
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

THE RUBBER BALL

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the rubber ball is m_r   =  2 \ kg

      The  initial  speed of the rubber ball is  u =  3 \ m/s

      The final speed at which it bounces bank v  - 3 \ m/s

      The mass of the clay ball  is  m_c =  2  \ kg

       The  initial  speed of the clay  ball is u = 3 \ m/s

       The final speed of the clay ball is  v = 0 \  m/s

Generally Impulse is mathematically represented as

       I  =  \Delta p

where \Delta  p is the change in the linear momentum so  

       I  =  m(v-u)

For the rubber  is  

        I_r  =  2(-3 -3)

       I_r  = -12\ kg \cdot  m/s

=>     |I_r|  = 12\ kg \cdot  m/s

For the clay ball

       I_c  =  2(0-3)

        I_c =  -6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s

=>    | I_c| =  6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s

So from the above calculation the ball with the a higher magnitude of impulse is the rubber ball

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}  J.s
