What are the steps that produce electricity from this fuel

1 answer:

4 0

The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of industrial processes which involve the production of electricity from uranium in nuclear power reactors.
Uranium is a relatively common element that is found throughout the world. It is mined in a number of countries and must be processed before it can be used as fuel for a nuclear reactor.
Fuel removed from a reactor, after it has reached the end of its useful life, can be reprocessed so that most is recycled for new fuel.

A cylindrical tube sustains standing waves at the following frequencies: 600 Hz, 800 Hz, and 1000 Hz. The tube does not sustain

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In closed organ pipe notes with odd harmonics are produced and in open organ pipe notes with all odd and even harmonics are produced. notes with frequencies 600, 800 and 1000 Hz are produced. These are 3 , 4 and 5 times 200 Hz. ie both odd and even times of 200 . So fundamental frequency appears to be 200 Hz. There is no note available between 800 and 1000. It also indicates that 200 Hz is the fundamental frequency and the pipe is open at both ends.

Vector C has a magnitude of 24.6 m and points in the − y ‑ direction. Vectors A and B both have positive y ‑ components, and mak

frez [133]

Answer:

A= 61.35

B= -44.40

Explanation:

1. Using the components method we have:

$A_{x}= A cos \alpha\\B_{x}= B cos \beta\\C_{x}= 0\\\\A_{y}= A sin \alpha\\B_{y}= B sin \beta\\C_{y}= 24.6\\$

Considering that the vector sum $A+B+C=0$ , then:

$|V|=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2} +V_{y}^{2} }=0$

Then:

$V_{x} ^{2} =0; V_{x} =0\\V_{y} ^{2} =0; V_{y} =0$

It means the value of x and y component is 0.

2. Determinate the equations that describe each component:

$V_{x}= A cos \alpha -B cos \beta=0 (1)\\V_{y}= A sin \alpha +B sin \beta - C=0 (2)$

Form Eq. (1):

$A=B \frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha} (3)$

Replacing A in Eq. (2):

$(B\frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha})(sin \alpha)+ B sin\beta-C=0\\(B\frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha})(sin \alpha)+ B sin\beta-=C\\\\B(\frac{cos \beta. sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+ sin\beta)=C\\B=C(\frac{cos \beta. sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+ sin\beta)^{-1} (4)$

Replacing values of C, α and β in (4):

$B= 24.6 (\frac{(cos 27.7)(sin 44.9)}{cos 44.9}+sin 27.7)^{-1} \\B= -44.4$

Replacing value of B in (3)

$A=-44.40\frac{cos 27.7}{sin 49.9} \\A= 61.35$

A particle travels 15 times around a 10-cm radius circle in 42 seconds. what is the average speed (in m/s) of the particle?

nikklg [1K]

Circumference = 2 * pi * r 62.8318 = 2 * 3.14159 * 10 cm 62.8318 * 15 rotations / 42 seconds = 22.44 cm / second 22.44 cm / 100 cm per meter = .2244 m / s

A ball is pushed into a spring-loaded launcher with a force of 20 N, which compresses the spring 0.08 m.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

0.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 20N

Compression = 0.08m

Unknown:

Spring constant = ?

Elastic potential energy = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

F = k e

F is the force

k is the spring constant

e is the compression

20 = k x 0.08

k = 250N/m

Elastic potential energy;

EPE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k e² = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 250 x 0.08²

Elastic potential energy = 0.8J
