Answer:

Super-critical mass

Explanation:

This term refers to the mass, in which the amount of fission processes per unit of time increases to the point, where some intrinsic feedback mechanism causes the reactor to reach an equilibrium point at a high temperature or power, that is, It becomes critical again, or it is destroyed due to the amount of processes.

The moon Phobos orbits Mars
podryga [215]

Explanation:

For a circular orbit v= \sqrt{\frac{G.m}{r} } with G = 6.6742 × 10^{-11}

Given m = 6.42 x 10^23 kg and  r=9.38 x 10^6 m

=> v = 2137.3 m/s

I hope this is the correct way to solve

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
erastovalidia [21]
Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.

Newton’s law of gravitation says that gravity is a mutually attractive force. Explain the following observation: A small object
Airida [17]

Answer: See below

Explanation:

The Earth attracts the falling object with the same intensity of gravity as the object attracts the Earth, according to Newton's law of gravitation. The displacement of the two bodies, however, is inversely proportional to their respective masses.

Example: The Earth attracts a ball that falls 3 metres from the ground, even though the ball's mass is insignificant in comparison to the Earth's. Similarly, the ball draws the Earth with the same power, but the Earth's mass is enormously more than the ball's. As a result, the Earth collides with a billionth of a millimetre ball (or even less). Restart the Earth's descent on the ball you'll never see again.

Can someone help????
ipn [44]

Answer:

15) C

14) When the density of the object is less than that of the liquid, it floats on the liquid because the upthrust or buoyant force of water is more than the gravity acting on the object. so option A is the best choice out of all.
