Answer:

Therefore, The chain reaction used in nuclear power plants involves a free

neutron colliding with a uranium , forming more free neutrons and energy  .

Explanation:

A chain reaction refers to a process in which neutrons released in fission produce an additional fission in at least one further nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces neutrons, and the process repeats.

For example, 21/2 neutrons on the average are released by the fission of each uranium-235 nucleus that absorbs a low-energy neutron provide more neutrons and energy.

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

What does 760mmHg represents??​
malfutka [58]

Explanation:

760 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is a measure of atmospheric pressure.  It represents the height of a column of mercury at which the static pressure at the bottom is equal to the atmospheric pressure.

1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101,325 Pa = 14.7 psi

Camping equipment weighting 5000N is pulled across a frozen lake by means of a horizontal rope. There is a frictional force of 3
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The work done by the campers is 4\times10^{5}\ J

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 5000 N

Frictional force = 300 n

Distance = 1000 m

Constant rate of speed = 0.20 m/s²

We need to calculate the force

Using newton's law of motion

F-F_{\mu}=ma

F-300=\dfrac{5000}{10}\times0.20

F=\dfrac{5000}{10}\times0.20+300

F=400\ N

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

W=F\times d

Put the value into the formula

W=400\times1000

W=4\times10^{5}\ J

Hence, The work done by the campers is 4\times10^{5}\ J

If you swim with the current in a river, your speed is increased by the speed of the water; if you swim against the current, you
Blababa [14]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Lets take

Speed of man in still water =u= 1.73 m/s

Speed of flow of water = v=0.52 m/s

When swims in downward direction then speed of man = u + v

When swims in upward direction then speed of man = u - v

Lets time taken by man when he swims in downward direction is t_1 and when he swims in downward direction is t_2

Lets distance is d and it will be remain constant in both the case

d=(u+v)t_1

d=(u-v)t_2

(1.73+0.52)t_1=(1.73-0.52)t_2

t_2=1.85t_1

Time taken in still water

2 d= t x 1.73

t=1.15 x d sec

t_1=0.44d\ sec

t_2=0.82d\ sec

total time in current = 0.82 +0.44 d=1.26 d sec

So the percentage time

percentage\ time =\dfrac{1.28-1.15}{1.15}

 Percentage time =11.32%

So it will take 11.32% more time as compare to still current.
