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.

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called
vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive  force  between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza
Andreyy89
In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ

Silver: bonds with other atoms because of the weak forces of the valence electrons 
FALSE - The strong forces of the valence electrons is actually the reason why silver bonds with other atoms.

Water: bonds allow for liquid state at room temperature and prevent conduction 
FALSE - Water is a good conductor.

Carbon: bonds with other atoms through strong shared electrical bonds 
TRUE - Carbon shares covalent bonds with other atoms.

Niobium: bonds allow for a strong conductivity found in stainless steel
FALSE - Iron and Carbon make up steel.

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N
