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.
The correct answer is b i believe

Explanation:
Answer:
(a) m = 33.3 kg
(b) d = 150 m
(c) vf = 30 m/s
Explanation:
Newton's second law to the block:
∑F = m*a Formula (1)
∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)
m : mass s (kg)
a : acceleration (m/s²)
Data
F= 100 N
a= 3.0 m/s²
(a) Calculating of the mass of the block:
We replace dta in the formula (1)
F = m*a
100 = m*3
m = 100 / 3
m = 33.3 kg
Kinematic analysis
Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)
vf= v₀+a*t Formula (3)
Where:
d:displacement in meters (m)
t : time interval in seconds (s)
v₀: initial speed in m/s
vf: final speed in m/s
a: acceleration in m/s²
Data
a= 3.0 m/s²
v₀= 0
t = 10 s
(b) Distance the block will travel if the force is applied for 10 s
We replace dta in the formula (2):
d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²
d = 0+ (1/2)*(3)*(10)²
d =150 m
(c) Calculate the speed of the block after the force has been applied for 10 s
We replace dta in the formula (3):
vf= v₀+a*t
vf= 0+(3*(10)
vf= 30 m/s
