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.
The change in pitch of a train's horn as it passes while you are standing still can be explained by the Doppler effect. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A". When the sound source from the horn of the train comes closer, the sound seems to come closer each time a sound wave gets emitted. So it comes closer to us in a bunched form. The reverse happens when the train has just passed with each emitted sound going further and further away. The frequency of the sound seems to get lower as the train moves further away.
Answer:
The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push
Explanation:
Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force
F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0
So, F - f = 0
Thus, F = f
So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
A hummingbird can flutter it's wings about 80 times per second.
4,800 divided by 60=80
Answer:
C. 50%
Explanation:
Lets consider that the mass of taffy is m and its initial velocity is u and final velocity is v. Momentum is conserved so we can write it as,
The initial kinetic energy = 
As the Kinetic energy partly converted into heat.
The final kinetic energy = 
= 
Change in the kinetic energy = 
now we can determine the fraction of kinetic energy that has turned into heat
= 
= 
= 50%
