The source of power in a nuclear power plant is nuclear reactors. These reactors split uranium atoms, releasing energy in the form of heat, in a process called fission. The heat converts water into steam which powers a turbine generator to produce electricity.

devlian [24]

Answer:

2.24 m/s²

Explanation:

Using equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at²

u = 0 , t = 3.17 s , s = 11.26 m

Put these values in the equation above

11.26 = 0 +.5 x a( 3.17)²

a = 2.24 ms⁻².

So acceleration due to gravity on that planet will be 2.24 m s⁻².

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 80.0cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass 0
algol13

Answer:

The speed of the animals is 1.64m/s.

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and call the mass of the two rats m_1 and m_2,  and the length of the rod L.

Using the law of conservation of energy, which says the potential energies of the rats must equal their kinetic energies, we know that when the rod swings to the vertical position,

$m_1\frac{L}{2}g -m_2\frac{L}{2}g = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2$

$(m_1 -m_2)g\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2$,

solving for v, we get:

$\boxed{v = \sqrt{\frac{(m_1 -m_2)gL}{(m_1+m_2)}} }$

Putting in the values for m_1, m_2, g, and L we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(0.450kg -0.220kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.8m)}{(0.450kg+0.220kg)}} $

\boxed{ v= 1.64m/s}

Therefore, as the rod swings through the vertical position , the speed of the rats is 1.64 m/s.

5. Why does a Ntion try to influence the value of its currency?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

If inflation is relatively lower than competitors, then the countries goods will become more attractive and demand will rise. Lower inflation tends to increase the value of the currency in the long term.
