The matter from the explosion can reach him, hitting him. He should be able to feel that.

Answer:

The particles from the explosion will hit him, create holes in his space suit, and can also hurt him. By feeling all these things, he will know about the explosion.

Explanation:

Explosion happened behind him so, he wouldn’t be able to see it. Moreover, Sound needs a medium to travel but, in space there is no medium. So, we would not able to listen the sound of explosion. Hence, he will feel the explosion when particles from explosion will hit him and hurt him.

When sanitizing dishcloths or cutting boards at home using chlorine bleach, how much bleach should be added, per quart of water?
ahrayia [7]

When using chlorine bleach, the proper amount for one gallon of water is 8 ounces, or one cup. Now, since there's 4 quarts in a gallon,divide the 8 ounces by 4. You get 2. So you should put 2 ounces (or 1/4 cup) of chlorine bleach in a quart of water. Hope this helps!

A mass of 8 kg moves at a rate of 14.3 m/sec. what is the KE developed by the mass?
Lynna [10]
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. It's a scalar quantity, there is no direction associated with KE and it has no components. KE =  \frac{mv ^{2} }{2} =  \frac{8 *14.3 ^{2} }{2} = 4 *204.49 = 817.96J. Therefore Kinetic energy is 817.96J.

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 2.99 × 108 m/s, and the speed of light through a piece of glass is approximately
exis [7]

Option (b) is correct.The index of refraction for the glass is 1.52

Explanation:

velocity of light in vacuum= C= 2.99 x 10⁸m/s

Velocity of light in glass = V= 1.97 x 10⁸m/s

The refractive index is given by n=\frac{c}{v}

n= 2.99 x 10⁸/1.97 x 10⁸m/s

n= 1.52

Thus the refractive index of glass is 1.52

A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explanation:

electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV

                                            = 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s

thermal energy =  0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV

\dfrac{1 GW}{150 MeV}= \dfrac{6.24151\times 10^{21}}{105}

                                      = 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second

                                       =5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)

                                      =  5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day

mu = 235.04393 ×  1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg

M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴

   = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴

M   =  2 kg(approx.)

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Suppose there is a sample of xenon in a sealed rectangular container. The gas exerts a total force of 6.05 N perpendicular to on
shtirl [24]

Answer:

<h2> 0.147136N/m²</h2>

Explanation:

Pressure is defines as force exerts by a body per its unit area.

Pressure = Force/Area

Given the total force exerted by the gas = 6.05N

Area of the rectangular container = 0.121 m * 0.201 m = 0.024321m²

Pressure of the sample = 6.05/0.02432

Pressure of the sample = 0.147136N/m²
