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.

A vibrating object produces periodic waves with a wavelength of 53 cm and a frequency of 15 Hz. How fast do these waves move awa
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

v = 7.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of a wave, \lambda=53\ cm=0.53\ m

Frequency of a wave, f = 15 Hz

We need to find the speed of the wave. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=15\ Hz\times 0.53\ m\\\\v=7.95\ m/s

So, the wave move with a speed of 7.95 m/s.
