True

The control rods are lowered after a certain stage in a nuclear reactor, to absorb the neutrons , which reduces the number of reactions taking place in the reactor. As the number of reactions gets reduced, less amount of heat energy is produced and in case is the entire control rod is inserted in the core of reactor, the reactor completely shuts down

ivanzaharov [21]
The formula for maximum distance is 
X = (V^2 / g) * sin (2 * theta) 
10 = (V^2 / 9.8) * sin (2 * 20) 
10 = (V^2 / 9.0) * sin(40) 
10 = (V^2 / 9.8) * 0.324 
v^2 = (10 / 0.324) * 9.8 
V^2 = 302.47
v = 17.39 meters/sec (takeoff speed) 

The horizontal speed is  = Takeoff Speed * Cos(20) = 17.39 * 0.910 = 16.341 meters / sec

A spring loaded toy shoots straight upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. Determine the maximum height it reaches. Determine the ti
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Recall that

{v_y}^2-{v_{0y}}^2=2a_y(y-y_0)

At its maximum height y_{\mathrm{max}}, the toy will have 0 vertical velocity, so that

-\left(4.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)y_{\mathrm{max}}

\implies y_{\mathrm{max}}=1.0\,\mathrm m

For the toy to reach this maximum height, it takes time t such that

\dfrac{0+v_0}2t=y_{\mathrm{max}}\implies t=0.46\,\mathrm s

which means it takes twice this time, i.e. t=0.92\,\mathrm s, for the toy to reach its original position.

The velocity of the toy when it falls 1.0 m below its starting point is

{v_y}^2-\left(4.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(0-1.0\,\mathrm m)

\implies{v_y}^2=39.85\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

\implies v_y=-6.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where we took the negative square root because we expect the toy to be moving in the downward direction.

Sonbull [250]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Ian's total distance = (2km + 0.5km + 2.5km) = 5 km

Ian's total time = 3 hours

Average speed = (5km) / (3 hours)

Average speed = 1.66 km/hr
