The control rods absorb some of the neutrons that are
flying around, so those neutrons don't get to smash into
more Uranium nuclei and start more fissions.

You are camping with two friends, Joe and Karl. Since all three of you like your privacy, you don't pitch your tents close toget

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

35.7 m

Explanation:

Let

$\mid A\mid=18.5 m$

$\mid B\mid=41 m$

We have to find the distance between Joe's and Karl'e tent.

$A_x=Acos\theta$

$A_y=Asin\theta$

Substitute the values then we get

$A_x=18.5cos23^{\circ}=17 m$

$A_y=18.5sin 23^{\circ}=7.2 m$

$B_x=41cos37.5^{\circ}=32.5 m$

$B_y=41sin37.5^{\circ}=-24.96 m$

Because vertical component of B lie in IV quadrant and y-inIV quadrant is negative.

By triangle addition of vector

$B=A+C$

$C=B-A$

$C_x=B_x-A_x=32.5-17=15.5 m$

$C_y=B_y-A_y=-24.96-7.2=-32.16\approx=-32.2 m$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{C^2_x+C^2_y}$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{(15.5)^2+(-32.2)^2}=35.7 m$

Hence, the distance between Joe's and Karl's tent=35.7 m

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity

Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = $v_{f}$ = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

$2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}$

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

$2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15$

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 6.8 kg and a velocity of 5.0 m/s is J. (Report the answer to two significant figu

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ (KE) = 85 \ J}$

Given:

Mass (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}$

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 6.8 \times {5}^{2}$

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times 3.4 \times 25$

$\sf \implies KE =3.4 \times 25$

$\sf \implies KE = 85 \: J$

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
