Hi!

The answer is E) none of the above, because control rods in a nuclear reactor is made of uranium

Hope this helped! Have a nice day!

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. A brief laser pulse is fired at the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

d = 2,042 10-3 m

Explanation:

The laser diffracts in the circular slit, so the process equation is

      d sin θ= m λ

The first diffraction minimum occurs for m = 1

We can use trigonometry in the mirror

        tan θ = Y / L

Where L is the distance from the Moon to Earth

Since the angle is extremely small

           tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

           Cos θ = 1

           tant θ = sin θ = y / L

We replace

           d y / L = λ

           d = λ L / y

Let's calculate

           d = 532 10⁻⁹ 3.84 10⁶/1 10³

           d = 2,042 10-3 m

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 10 m in 4 s?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

500 watts

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.

In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:

200 N x 10 m = 2000  Nm

then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:

Power = 2000 / 4   Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts

A square plate of edge length 9.0 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 6.90 10-6 C. Estimate the magnitude E of the
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E= 4.35*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

Let's find the area charge density of the plate

α= 6.9*10^-6/9*10^-2 = 7.7*10^-5C/m2

Now we can calculate the electric field just of the plate

E =α/2e =7.7*10^-5/2*8.85*10^-12 = 4.35*10^6 N/C
