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 thin, light wire 75.2 cm long having a circular cross section 0.560 mm in diameter has a 25.2 kg weight attached to it, causin

Answer:

The stress is calculated as $1.003\times 10^{9}\ Pa$

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the wire, l = 75.2 cm = 0.752 m

Diameter of the circular cross-section, d = 0.560 mm = $0.560\times 10^{- 3}\ m$

Mass of the weight attached, m = 25.2 kg

Elongation in the wire, $\Delta l = 1.10\ mm = 1.10\times 10^{- 3}\ m$

Now,

The stress in the wire is given by:

$Stress,\ \sigma = \frac{Force,\ F}{Area,\ A}$ (1)

Now,

Force is due to the weight of the attached weight:

F = mg = $25.2\times 9.8 = 246.96\ N$

Cross sectional Area, A = $\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = \pi (\frac{0.560\times 10^{- 3}}{2})^{2} = 2.46\times 10^{- 7}\ m^{2}$

Using these values in eqn (1):

$\sigma = \frac{246.96}{2.46\times 10^{- 7}} = 1.003\times 10^{9}\ Pa$

Can someone explain it with steps?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer

Explanation:

Distance travelled by car during reaction time

$=15\times0.4\\\\=6m$

The car stopped before hitting the animal by $1 m$

Distance travelled during deceleration is $21-6-1=14m$

Hence by $v^2=u^2+2as$

We have

$0^2=15^2+2 \cdot a \cdot 14\\\\a=\frac{-225}{28} \\\\=-8.03m/s^2$

Option C is the correct answer

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, $d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m$

Area under BC, $d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under CD, $d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m$

Area under DE, $d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under EF, $d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m$

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".
