Answer:

There is no net force acting on the train.

Explanation:

The net force equals mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

The train moves at constant velocity, so its acceleration is 0.  Therefore, the net force is 0.

If a train is travelling eastward with a constant velocity of 15 m/s, there is no net force acting on the train.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton 2nd law, the external force is proportionate to the rates of change of momentum which states that force will be indirectly proportional to the rates of variation in velocity. So, as the velocity is constant for the train, the rate of variation in velocity or the acceleration will be zero. Thus the total external forces acting on the train will be zero. But the train will be moving continuously due to the energy obtained from the engine.

sesenic [268]

Answer : First of all, to harness the solar energy and utilize it for the decomposition of water to make hydrogen fuel cell seems to be easy but practically it has many hurdles in its way. It might not work well, when the days would not be sunny. Also, the production of hydrogen fuel would require decomposing water which may need a high energy of activation, which would be more than the energy that will be produced from the fuel cell.

What total distance will a sound wave travel in air in 3.00 seconds at stp?
dimaraw [331]
At stp conditions (T=0^{\circ}C), the speed of sound is
v=331.2 m/s
The sound wave moves by uniform motion, so we can use the basic relationship between space, time and velocity:
S=vt
where S is the distance covered by the sound wave in a time t. In our problem, t=3.00 s, therefore the distance covered by the sound wave is
S=vt=(331.2 m/s)(3.00 s)=993.6 m

Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive

Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>

The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
