B) Nuclear fission

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants work by using the process of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable radioactive nuclei decays, breaking apart into two or more lighter nuclei, more stable. In the process, several neutrons are also released, alongside with energy.

In nuclear power plants, the nucleus used for the process is the Uranium-235. When an atom of uranium-235 absorbs a slow neutron, it becomes a very unstable nucleus of uranium-236, which quickly decays into a nucleus of Barium-141, Kripton-92 and 3 neutrons.

The uranium nuclei are located in the so-called fuel rods, which are placed in a moderator (usually water). The purpose of the moderator is to slow down the neutrons emitted in the reaction: this way, these neutrons can be absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, causing more fission reactions to occur.

Why does a bowling ball and a feather hit the ground at the same time when they are dropped in a vacuum?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

This is because the vacuum chamber removes all the air contained and for this reason, there is no force that opposes the movement of the feather when falling. We must remember that the free fall equation of kinematics is not a function of the mass of an object.

v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

As we can see the mass of the object is not included in the equation.

Answer:

The parents and offspring all have phenotype ww. That leaves 100% probability of short wings and 0% long wings.

Explanation:

If long wings are a dominant trait, that means short wings are recessive. If two short winged flies are crossed, each of their phenotypes are ww. Therefore, each of their offspring also have phenotype ww, or short wings.

To construct a non-mechanical water meter, a 0.500-T magnetic field is placed across the supply water pipe to a home and the Hal
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a.  4 m/s b. 0.2 V

Explanation:

a. Find the flow rate through a 3.00-cm-diameter pipe if the Hall voltage is 60.0 mV.

The hall voltage V = vBd where v = flow-rate, B = magnetic field strength = 0.500 T and d = diameter of pipe = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m

Since V = vBd

v = V/Bd    given that V = 60.0 mV = 0.060 V, substituting the values of the other variables, we have

v = 0.060 V/(0.500 T × 0.03 m)

v = 0.060 V/(0.015 Tm)

v = 4 m/s

b. What would the Hall voltage be for the same flow rate through a 10.0-cm-diameter pipe with the same field applied?

Since the hall voltage, V = vBd and v = flow-rate = 4 m/s, B = magnetic field strength = 0.500 T and d' = diameter of pipe = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m

Substituting the variables into the equation, we have

V = vBd

V = 4 m/s × 0.500 T × 0.10 m

V = 0.2 V
