In a nuclear power plant, you start off with uranium (nuclear energy), and a lot of that nuclear energy is released by heat energy. Heat then boils water and drives a turbine for a generator, which creates kinetic energy, which produces electrical energy.

In other words, your answer is B.

Answer:

In a nuclear plant is happening the B option. Nuclear energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

1. The first step in a nuclear plant is to generate a nuclear chain reaction, removing nuclear elements from the atoms of enriched substances like uranium 235. This reaction free energy in the form of heat. A lot. NUCLEAR ENERGY

2. The heat should now be dissipated, through a cooling system, that uses water. HEAT ENERGY

3. The water in the cooling system boils and generates steam. The steam moves the turbine. KINETIC ENERGY

4. The turbine rotation generates electrical energy. ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Why does gravity hold objects on earth?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
 
Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger 
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts

How can two machines appear identical and yet not have the same actual mechanical advantage
STatiana [176]
There are many factors which contributes as to how a machine will be processing the input energy and convert it to output energy. Even with identical mechanism, these factors will have major effect on the output. Some factors are deflection, friction and wear. Some system maybe exposed to poor lubrication than the other which'll produce more friction and wear thus lower mechanical advantage.

A 40kg dog is sitting on top of a hillside and has a potential energy of 1,568 J. What is the height of the hill side?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

<h2>39.2 m</h2>

Explanation:

The height of the hill side can be found by using the formula

h =  \frac{p}{m}  \\

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

From the question we have

h =  \frac{1568}{40}  =  \frac{196}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>39.2 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle
marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

Where,

\theta = Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)

sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})

\theta = 59.72\°

Therefore the \alpha_{max} would be equal to

\alpha = 90\°-\theta

\alpha = 90-59.72

\alpha = 30.27\°

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
