Answer:

Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.

A 150 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magn

xenn [34]

Answer:

T = 2010 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the uniform beam = 150 kg

Force of gravity acting on the beam at its center is given as

W = mg

W = 150 x 9.8

W = 1470 N

T = Tension force in the wire

θ = angle made by the wire with the horizontal = 47° deg

L = length of the beam

From the figure,

AC = L

BC = L/2

From the figure, using equilibrium of torque about point C

T (AC) Sin47 = W (BC)

T L Sin47 = W (L/2)

T Sin47 = W/2

T Sin47 = 1470

T = 2010 N

A cannon is fired straight up into the air. If the cannon ball comes back down to the launch point in 5 seconds, what was the ma

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

An electron with charge −e and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r around a nucleus of charge Ze, where Z is the atomic

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}$

Explanation:

The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:

$F=k\frac{(e)(Ze)}{r^2}=k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}$ (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Ze is the charge of the nucleus

e is the charge of the electron

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}$ (2)

where

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find

$k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}$
