Zigmanuir [339]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Iodine , caesium , strontium ,Plutonium

Explanation:

The isotopes of four main elements which include Iodine , caesium , strontium ,Plutonium contributed mainly to contamination in the Chernobyl accident which involved the release of harmful radioactive radiation into the environment.

The accident occurred in 1986 at Chernobyl , Ukraine as a result of errors made in the design of the reactor and inexperienced hands handling it.

This led to hundreds of death and negative effects on living and the environment around the area.

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.
tatyana61 [14]
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

A electric heater that draws 13.5 a of dc current has been left on for 10 min. how many electrons that have passed through the h
kicyunya [14]
By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit  of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C 

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N    

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that W=mg

So 65=m\times 9.8

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 2.4m/sec^2

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=7.4m/sec^2

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t²   <em>(I)</em>

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t  <em>(II)</em>

<em />

then we can apply <em>I = II</em>

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use <em>I</em> or <em>II</em>, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m

If a 4N weight is hung on a spring, and it extends by 0.2m, what is the spring constant (k)?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 200 N/m

Explanation:

The Gravitational spring energy(Us) is equal to 1/2kx^2. So we have x as .2 m and Us as 4 N. So 4 N = 1/2 * k * .2^2. So now we solve for K and get 200 N/m.
