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.
Answer:
9.4 m/s
Explanation:
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.
Therefore we can write:
where in this case:
W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)
is the initial kinetic energy of the car
is the final kinetic energy
Solving,
The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as
where
m = 661 kg is its mass
v is its final speed
Solving for v,
Answer:
5 sq. root 3
Explanation:
theta= 60°
=> u sin theta = 10 × sin 60
= 10× sq. root 3/2
= 5 sq. root 3
Explanation:
For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.
Answer:
(A) 3.1 m/s
(B) 2.0 s
Explanation:
At the minimum speed, the force of gravity equals the centripetal force.
mg = m v² / r
v = √(gr)
v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.0 m)
v = 3.1 m/s
The time is the circumference divided by the speed.
t = (2π × 1.0 m) / (3.1 m/s)
t = 2.0 s
