In a nuclear power plant, the nuclear reaction is kept from going critical by keeping the rate of reaction safe. How do the cont

rol rods figure into this?
A. The controls rods absorb the excess heat produced in the reaction.
B. The controls rods absorb excess neutrons, keeping them from causing too many uranium atoms to split too quickly.
C. The control rods provide additional neutrons to keep the reaction going.
D. The control rods absorb excess uranium atoms so that the reaction doesn't happen too quickly.

Correct answer is B

Explanation:

Control rods in Nuclear reactor:

During nuclear reaction when a heavy nucleus break up into two light nuclei that time neutron are release and these neutrons further break up other nucleus which release more neutrons which lead to a chain reaction. the nuclear reaction is kept from going critical by keeping the rate of reaction safe by using control rods. Controls rods absorb excess neutrons, keeping them from causing too many uranium atoms to split too quickly.

Answer:

The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.

What occurs during an exothermic change
Likurg_2 [28]
In an exothermic reaction, there is a transfer of energy to the surroundings in the form of heat energy. The surroundings of the reaction will experience an increase in temperature. Many types of chemical reactions are exothermic, including combustion reactions, respiration & neutralization reactions of bases & acids.
