<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.

Answer:

Conduction, convection, and radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the process in which energy is transferred from a hot body to a cooler body. Convection is a process by which heat is transferred as a result of the movement of heated fluid in the form of air or water. Radiation refers to the transmission of energy through a material medium.

Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of conduction, convection, and radiation.

Trava [24]

Answer:

the acceleration due to gravity g at the surface is proportional to the planet radius R (g ∝ R)

Explanation:

according to newton's law of universal gravitation ( we will neglect relativistic effects)

F= G*m*M/d² , G= constant , M= planet mass , m= mass of an object , d=distance between the object and the centre of mass of the planet

if we assume that the planet has a spherical shape,  the object mass at the surface is at a distance d=R (radius) from the centre of mass and the planet volume is V=4/3πR³ ,

since M= ρ* V = ρ* 4/3πR³ , ρ= density

F = G*m*M/R² = G*m*ρ* 4/3πR³/R²= G*ρ* 4/3πR

from Newton's second law

F= m*g = G*ρ*m* 4/3πR

thus

g = G*ρ* 4/3π*R = (4/3π*G*ρ)*R

g ∝ R

What direction does a S wave move
noname [10]

Answer:

As they travel through rock, the waves move tiny rock particles back and forth -- pushing them apart and then back together -- in line with the direction the wave is traveling. These waves typically arrive at the surface as an abrupt thud. Secondary waves (also called shear waves, or S waves) are another type of body wave
