Explanation:
Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.
Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.
Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.
As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.
Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.
Answer:
Angle θ = 30.82°
Explanation:
From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ
where;
I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.
In this question,
I is 0.708 W/m²
While I_o is 0.960 W/m²
Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;
0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ
Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²
cos²θ = 0.7375
Cos θ = √0.7375
Cos θ = 0.8588
θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588
θ = 30.82°
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-
=
Solve for x by using cross multiplication.
40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88
Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.
Answer:
α = - 1.883 rev/min²
Explanation:
Given
ωin = 113 rev/min
ωfin = 0 rev/min
t = 1.0 h = 60 min
α = ?
we can use the following equation
ωfin = ωin + α*t ⇒ α = (ωfin - ωin) / t
⇒ α = (0 rev/min - 113 rev/min) / (60 min)
⇒ α = - 1.883 rev/min²
Answer:
The acceleration of the object is 
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity of object 
= 200 feet/second
Final velocity of object 
= 50 feet/second
Time of travel = 5 seconds
To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
So, acceleration 
is given by:
where represents final velocity, represents initial velocity and 
is time of travel.
Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.
The acceleration of the object is (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.
