Answer:

The change in the mass of the nuclear fuel due to the energy being taken from the reactor is 0.81 kg

Explanation:

Given:

P = power 2.3x10⁹W

The energy taking from the reactor is:

E = P * t = 2.3x10⁹ * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 7.25x10¹⁶J

The change in the mass is:

E = Δm * c²

Where c is speed of light in vacuum

Δm = E/c² = 7.25x10¹⁶/(3x10⁸)² = 0.81 kg

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}(1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have  (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? Question 2 options: Pulling a trailer up a hill Carrying a box
Taya2010 [7]

Work is done when a force acts on an object AND the object moves in the direction of the force.

-- <em>Pulling a trailer up a hill.  YES. </em> The trailer is moving in the direction of the pulling force.  

-- Carrying a box down a corridor.  No. The box is not moving in the direction of gravity (down) OR in the direction of your arm (down the corridor).

-- Suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain,  No.  There's a force (gravity) acting on the weight, but the weight is not moving at all.

-- Pushing against a locked door.  No.  There's a force (your muscles) acting on the door, but he door is not moving at all.

A student hears a police siren. What would change the frequency that the student hears? check all that apply
andriy [413]

Considering the Doppler efect, the frequency heard by the student would change if:

  • if the student walked toward the police car.
  • if the student walked away from the police car.
  • if the police car moved toward the student.
  • if the police car moved away from the student.

<h3>Doppler effect</h3>

The Doppler effect is defined as the change in the apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative motion of the source with respect to its observer. In other words, this effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave motion when the sender and receiver, or observer, move relative to each other.

The following expression is considered the general case of the Doppler effect:

f'=f\frac{v+-vR}{v-+vE}

Where:

  • f', f: Frequency perceived by the receiver and frequency emitted by the transmitter, respectively. Its unit of measurement in the International System (S.I.) is the hertz (Hz), which is the inverse unit of the second (1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹)
  • v: Wave propagation speed in the medium. It is constant and depends on the characteristics of the medium. In this case, the speed of sound in air is considered to be 343 m/s.
  • vR, vE: Receiver and transmitter speed respectively. Its unit of measure in the S.I. is the m/s
  • ±, ∓:
  • We will use the + sign:
  1. In the numerator if the receiver approaches the sender
  2. In the denominator if the sender moves away from the receiver
  • We will use the - sign:
  1. In the numerator if the receiver moves away from the sender
  2. In the denominator if the sender approaches the receiver

In summary, the Doppler Effect is an alteration of the observed frequency of a sound due to the movement of the source or the observer, that is, they are changes in the frequency and wavelength of a wave due to the relative movement between the wave source and the observer.

<h3>Changes on the frequency </h3>

In this case, considering the Doppler effect, the frequency heard by the student would change if:

  • if the student walked toward the police car.
  • if the student walked away from the police car.
  • if the police car moved toward the student.
  • if the police car moved away from the student.

A sample of an ideal gas has a volume of 2.37 L at 2.80×102 K and 1.15 atm. Calculate the pressure when the volume is 1.68 L and
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

p_2 = 1.76 atm

Explanation:

given data:

v_1 = 2.37 L

v_2 = 1.68 L

p_1 =1.15 atm

p_2 = ?

t_1 = 280 K

t_2 = 304 K

from Gas Law Equation

, WE HAVE

\frac{p_1 v_1}{t_1} =\frac{p_2 v_2}{t_2}

Putting the values

\frac{1.15*2.37}{280}  =\frac{p_2 *1.68}{304}

9.733*10^{-3} = \frac{p_2 *1.68}{304}

9.733*10^{-3}*304 = p_2*1.68

\frac{9.733*10^{-3}*304}{1.68} =p_2

p_2= 1.76 atm

A long, rigid conductor, lying along an x axis, carries a current of 5.0 A in the negative x direction. A magnetic field B: is p
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

magnetic field B = (3 i + 8 x 2 j )x 10⁻³ T

= (3 i + 16 j )x 10⁻³ T

L = - i ( unit length of conductor )

Force F = I ( L x B ) , I is current

= 5 [ - i x ( 3i + 16 j ) 10⁻³]

= 5 ( - 16 k ) x 10⁻³

F = - 80 x 10⁻³ k

Clois what is the weight of a body in the earth, if its weig is 5Nin moon? <br>​
Debora [2.8K]

Explanation:

because the moon has less mass than earth, the force due to gravity at the lunar surface is only about 1/6 that on earthso,the weight of a body on earth is 6×5N =30N
