What does it mean when the line on a graph of a distance vs. time changes direction?

1 answer:

6 0

The slope of the line ... or the direction it's heading ... is the speed
of whatever is being graphed. So if the line changes direction, it
means that the speed changed at that time.

A reactor operating at 1 MW is scrammed by instantaneous insertion of $5.00 of negative reactivity. Approximately how long does

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

time is 3333.33 min or 55.55 hr

Explanation:

given data

reactor operating = 1 MW

negative reactivity = $5

power = 1 miliwatt

to find out

how long does it take

solution

we know here power coefficient that is

power coefficient = $\frac{10^{6} }{10^{6} }$

power coefficient = 1

so time required to reach power is

power = reactivity × time / power coefficient + reactor operating

1 × $10^{-3}$ = -5 t / 1 + 1 × $10^{6}$

5t = $10^{6}$ - $10^{-3}$

t = 199999.99 sec

so time is 3333.33 min or 55.55 hr

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude $=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N$

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: $F=I\,L\,B$ in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

$F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N$
