Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.
Gelneren [198K]

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.

A 1000 kg car moving at 108 km/h jams on its brakes and comes to a stop. How much work was done by friction?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The work done by friction was -4.5\times10^{5}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1000 kg

Initial speed of car =108 km/h =30 m/s

When the car is stop by brakes.

Then, final speed of car will be zero.

We need to calculate the work done by friction

Using formula of work done

W=\Delta KE

W=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2

Put the value of m and v

W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(30)^2

W=-450000&#10;\ J

W=-4.5\times10^{5}\ J

Hence, The work done by friction was -4.5\times10^{5}\ J

Is there an eclipse happening soon in England
lyudmila [28]

A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.

England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.

For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge.  It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM.  Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.

The catch in observing the eclipse is:

                       <em><u>YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN</u></em>.

Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though <em><u>you don't feel it while it's happening</u></em>.

This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours.  Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".
