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!!

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
Nataliya [291]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the definition of speed as a function of distance and time, and the speed of air in the sound, as well

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where,

V= Velocity

d= distance

t = time

Re-arrange the equation to find the distance we have,

d=vt

Replacing with our values

d= (343)(3.7)

d= 1269.1m

It is understood that the sound comes and goes across the entire lake therefore, the length of the lake is half the distance found, that is

L_{lake} = \frac{d}{2}

L_{lake} = \frac{1269.1}{2}

L_{lake} = 634.55m

Therefore the length of the lake is 634,55m

What will happen if we put a magnet in cold water
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

cold water strengthens the magnetic attractive force.

Explanation:

The molecules within the magnet will move slower because they have less kinetic energy,so there is less vibration within the magnets molecules.

The period of a satellite circling planet Nutron is observed to be 84 s when it is in a circular orbit with a radius of 8.0 x 10
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

4.3 * 10^28 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Period, T = 84s

Radius of satellite orbit, r = 8*10^6

Using the relation :

M = 4π²r³ / GT²

Where G = Gravitational constant, 6.67 * 10^-11

M = 4*π^2*(8*10^6)^3 / 6.67 * 10^-11 * 84^2

M = (20218.191872 * 10^18) / 47063.52 * 10^-11

M = 0.4295937 * 10^18 - (-11)

M = 0.4295937 * 10^29

M = 4.295937 * 10^28 kg

M = 4.3 * 10^28 kg

Mass of planet Nutron = 4.3 * 10^28 kg
