Answer:42.4m/s^2
Explanation:
Velocity(v)=6m/s
Radius(r)=0.85 meter
Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r
Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85
Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85
Centripetal acceleration=42.4
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.
C. element only one substance
