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:
65.87 s
Explanation:
For the first time,
Applying
v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance
From the question,
Given: u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m
Substitute these values into equation 1
v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)
v² = 238.8
v = √238.8
v = 15.45 m/s
Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is
t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2
t = (15.45-0)/1.99
t = 7.77 s
For the final 40 meter,
t = (v-u)/a
Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²
Substitute into the equation above
t = (0-15.45)/-0.266
t = 58.1 seconds
Hence total time taken to cover the distance
T = 7.77+58.1
T = 65.87 s
Answer:
Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.
This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

Explanation:
<u>Diagonal Launch
</u>
It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.
The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is
Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, 
is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity
The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as
There are two times where the value of y is 
when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making 
Removing and dividing by t (t different of zero)
Then we find the total flight as
We can easily note the total time (hang time) is twice the maximum (apex) time, so the required time is
