Answer:

Yes, It is contaminated and radio active

Explanation:

The coolant in the primary loop is actually in contact with the reactor fuel. So it will have some trace amount of the reactor fuel and all the other radioactive by products like cobalt.

Also the neutrons in the reactor will convert the hydrogen in the water into radioactive tritium. and the oxygen into radioactive nitrogen.

This is why the primary loop water is kept isolated from the feed water.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The answer is 3.48 seconds

Explanation:

The kinematic equation

y= y0+V0*t+1/2*a*(t*t)

-50=0+(0)t+1/2(-9.8)*(t*t)

t=3.194 seconds

During ribbons ball,

x=x0+ Vt+1/2*a*(t*t)

x= 0+(15)*(3.194)+1/2*(0)* (3.194*3.194)

x= 47.9157m

So, distance (D) = 100-47.9157= 52.084m

52.084m=0+15(t)+1/2*(0)(t*t)

t=52.084/15=3.472286= 3.48seconds
