Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by $2.8^{o}C$ every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is $1.60\times 10^{5}kg$ will require

$0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ$

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

$\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s$

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

$=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V$

ΔV=0.484mV

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa

dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J$

(b). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

$g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}$

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

$g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}$

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

$r_{P}=2r_{E}$

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}$

Which yields:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}$

So we can now compare the two gravities:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}$

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}$

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
