Four heavy elements (A, B, C, and D) will fission when bombarded by neutrons. In addition to fissioning into two smaller element

s, A also gives off a beta particle, B gives off gamma rays, C gives off neutrons, and D gives off alpha particles. Which element would make a possible fuel for a nuclear reactor

Answer:

<em>Element C will be best for a nuclear fission reaction</em>

Explanation:

<em>Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of a heavy atom by bombarding it with a nuclear particle. The reaction leads to the the atom splitting into two smaller elements and a huge amount of energy is liberated in the process.</em> For the reaction to be continuous in a chain reaction,<em> the best choice of element to use as fuel for the reaction should be the element whose nucleus also liberates a neutron particle after fission</em>. The neutron that is given off by other atoms in the reaction will then proceed to bombard other atoms of the element in the reaction, creating a cascade of fission and bombardment within the nuclear reactor.

5. If one object has a greater speed than a second object. does the first necessarily have a greater acceleration? Explain, usin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

5. not necessarily so that the first object could have left with initial velocity and the second not, so even if the second has a greater acceleration its velocity is less than that of the first

6. The acceleration of the motorcycle is

     SI System Reductions

     Vo = 80 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 22.2 m / s

     Vf = 90 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s

     Vf = Vo + at at = Vf-Vo

     am = (Vf-Vo) / t

     am = (25 -22.2) / t = 2.8 / t

      am= 2.8/t

For the bike we have

      Vf = 10 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 2.78 m / s

      Vo = 0

      ab = (Vf -Vo) / t

      ab = (2.78 -0) / t

      ab = 2.8/t

Since time is the same for both of us, if we round to Significant figures the two accelerations are equal

7. If when an object is slowing or slowing down.

     For example, a car goes north and must stop at the traffic light, the acceleration of the brakes goes south

8. Yes, since an object can go to the left and the acceleration to the right, but the object will lose speed over time

9. in the launch of projectiles the acceleration is negative and the speed after half the path is also negative

10. Car B must be moving to car A, because if they leave together B has more acceleration, bone that travels the distance at the same time

11. When we have friction, the velocity of an object increases by an external force, but the friction also increases the acceleration, but since it is positive, the velocity increases until the acceleration is zero and hence the velocity remains constant.

Does the moon actually change shape as it revolves/rotates around the Earth? Explain your answer
rusak2 [61]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The moon doesn’t change shape on its own.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Shapes of moon that we observe is based on the different perspectives of view from the earth and position of moon with respect to the sun. The changes arise due to the rotation of earth on its own axis as well as the revolution of moon on its orbit. The moon doesn’t have any light of its own.

It just reflects off the light from the sun. Due to tidal locking phenomenon one face of the moon permanently faces the sun. Because of the changes in position of moon with respect to the sun the moon is lighted up variably giving rise to various phases like new moon, full moon, crescent etc.

Suppose you have a 136-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.4 and coefficient of kin
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the wooden crate, m = 136 kg

The coefficient of static friction, \mu_s=0.4

The coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.2

We need to find the maximum force exerted horizontally on the crate without moving it. As the crate is not moving than the coefficient of static friction will act and the force is given by :

F=\mu_s mg

F=0.4\times 136\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

F = 533.12 N

So, the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons. Hence, this is the required solution.
