How does nuclear energy work? Explain

1 answer:

6 0

There are many processes to get nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is basically energy from an atom. For example fission is where the nucleus of an atom ( typically radioactive atoms ) gets split then energy is released ( typically heat). And in radioactive decay radiation is released from an radioactive atom. Hope this helps

how does the size of objects impact the pull of gravity between Earth and a baseball thrown into the air

Reil [10]

it's how much it weighs and how much force is pushing on it like a egg if i drop it the weigh can cause it to break and how much force the gravity is pushing on it.

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 6.00 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm. (a) Find

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 0.106$ A

Area of plate $A = 36 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

Plate separation $d = 4 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

First find the capacitance of capacitor,

$C = \frac{\epsilon _{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$C = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12 } \times 36 \times 10^{-4} }{4 \times 10^{-3} }$

$C = 7.9 \times 10^{-12}$ F

But $C = \frac{Q}{V}$

Where $Q = It$

$C = \frac{It}{V}$

$V = \frac{It}{C}$

Now differentiate above equation wrt. time,

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I}{C}$

$= \frac{0.106}{7.9 \times 10^{-12} }$

$= 1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Therefore, the time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Dr. Kirwan is preparing a slide show that he will present to the executive board at tonight's committee meeting. He places a 3.5

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A) d_o = 20.7 cm

B) h_i = 1.014 m

Explanation:

A) To solve this, we will use the lens equation formula;

1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i

Where;

f is focal Length = 20 cm = 0.2

d_o is object distance

d_i is image distance = 6m

1/0.2 = 1/d_o + 1/6

1/d_o = 1/0.2 - 1/6

1/d_o = 4.8333

d_o = 1/4.8333

d_o = 0.207 m

d_o = 20.7 cm

B) to solve this, we will use the magnification equation;

M = h_i/h_o = d_i/d_o

Where;

h_o = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

d_i = 6 m

d_o = 20.7 cm = 0.207 m

Thus;

h_i = (6/0.207) × 0.035

h_i = 1.014 m

Using a 683 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen t

n200080 [17]

Answer:

10.2 m

Explanation:

The position of the dark fringes (destructive interference) formed on a distant screen in the interference pattern produced by diffraction from a single slit are given by the formula:

$y=\frac{\lambda (m+\frac{1}{2})D}{d}$

where

y is the position of the m-th minimum

m is the order of the minimum

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used

In this problem we have:

$\lambda=683 nm = 683\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

$d=1.1 mm = 0.0011 m$ is the width of the slit

m = 13 is the order of the minimum

$y=8.57 cm = 0.0857 m$ is the distance of the 13th dark fringe from the central maximum

Solving for D, we find the distance of the screen from the slit:

$D=\frac{yd}{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}=\frac{(0.0857)(0.0011)}{(683\cdot 10^{-9})(13+\frac{1}{2})}=10.2 m$

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

m = F / a

m = 60.0 / 0.870

m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

p₀ = p_f

m v = M v '

v ’= $\frac{m}{M} \ v$

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
