<h2>Answer: On December 20th, 1951 in Idaho, United States. </h2>

The world's first experimental nuclear power plant was the Experimental Breeder Reactor Number One (EBR-I), which was built in a desert in Idaho, United States.

This reactor made history when, on December 20th, 1951, four 200-watt light bulbs were illuminated by means of atomic energy, specifically by nuclear fission reaction.

Define A Gamma Ray .....---_---__☘️​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

gamma ray, or gamma radiation (symbol γ or {\displaystyle \gamma } \gamma ), is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays based on their relatively strong penetration of matter; in 1900 he had already named two less penetrating types of decay radiation (discovered by Henri Becquerel) alpha rays and beta rays in ascending order of penetrating power.

A 6.0-cm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cm. When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the gauge p
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

0.0072 m³/s

Explanation:

Using Bernoulli's law

P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂ since the pipe is horizontal

1/2ρv₂² - 1/2ρv₁² = P₁ - P₂

flow rate is constant

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

A₁ = πr₁² = π (0.06/2)² = 0.0028278 m²

A₂ = πr₂² = π (0.0225)² = 0.00159 m²

v₁  = (A₂ / A₁)v₂

v₁  = (0.00159 m²/ 0.0028278  m²) v₂ = 0.562  v₂

substitute v₁  into the Bernoulli's equation

1/2ρv₂² - 1/2ρv₁² = P₁ - P₂

500 ( 1 - 0.3161 ) v₂²  = (31.0 - 24 ) × 10³ Pa

341.924 v₂² = 7000

v₂² = 20.472

v₂ = √ 20.472 = 4.525 m/s

volume follow rate = 0.00159 m² ×  4.525 m/s = 0.0072 m³/s

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. 28.09 amu

Explanation:

The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance),  X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and  X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).

The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.

The atomic weight is computed as follows:

atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of  X-30 × fractional abundance

atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 ×  0.0310

atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194

atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu

To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu
