The answer is B, Law of Kinetic Energy
Wouldn't mass stay the same and acceleration increase or am I mistaken?
In a nuclear power plant, energy is released from the nuclei of atoms. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option. Huge amount of thermal energy is released by the breaking of the uranium atoms. This energy is used for turning a turbine that produces electricity. It is a very clean method of producing electricity.
Absolutely ! If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other. Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.
(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war.
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)
This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
<span>If the swimmer is swimming perpendicular to the current, it will take her 66m / 0.42 m/s = 157.14 seconds to cross the river. At the same time, the current will be taking her downstream at a rate of 0.32 m/s. So, when she reaches the opposite bank, her total downstream distance traveled will have been 0.32*157.14 = 50.28 meters.</span>
