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.
Answer:
Sarah is right
Explanation:
This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.
A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.
In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero
consequently Sarah is right
Answer:
5.33*10^-3 seconds
Explanation:
c = d/t
c = speed of light constant (3.0*10^5 km/s)
d = distance (1600 km)
t = ?
3.0*10^5 = 1600/t
t = 1600/3.0*10^5
t = 5.33*10^-3 seconds
I hope this helped! :)
