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:The answer is B , 0.20 m/s south
Explanation:
Answer:
The thickness of the foil is 0.017 mm.
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight = 7.5 oz = 212.6175 gm
Density = 2.70 g/cm³
Area of aluminium = 50 ft² = 46451.52 cm²
We need to calculate the thickness of the foil
Using formula of density
Where, A = area
t = thickness
m = mass
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The thickness of the foil is 0.017 mm.
Pe = mgh.
14000 J = (40kg)(10m/s^2)(h)
h = 35 meters
