A nuclear fission reactor produces electricity. What is the role of the fuel, the control rods, water, and generator in this pro

cess?
A reactor core full of water is heated to steam by the fission reaction that occurs inside control rods full of radioactive fuel pellets. The generator collects the emitted particles as the radioactive nuclei collide and transfers them to the power grid.

Fuel rods heat a pool of water to steam as heat from the fission reaction of the yellowcake inside is transferred to the water. The control rods are used to control the rate of electricity leaving the generator as it converts mechanical energy from a steam-powered turbine into electrical energy.

A generator is used to activate the control rods which contain radioactive isotopes. Once activated, these isotopes begin a nuclear fission chain reaction. Water in a cooling tank keeps the rate of reaction under control as electrons emitted from the reaction are fed through wires to homes and businesses.

The radioactive isotopes used as fuel provide the heat energy to create steam from water through a nuclear fission chain reaction. The control rods are used to regulate the rate of this fission reaction. The generator converts mechanical energy from a steam-powered turbine into electricity.

The appropriate response is the third one. A generator is utilized to enact the control poles which contain radioactive isotopes. Once initiated, these isotopes start an atomic splitting chain response. Water in a cooling tank monitors the rate of response as electrons radiated from the response are encouraged through wires to homes and organizations.

ipn [44]

Answer:

b-testing

Explanation:

First would be observation/research. Then the hypothesis. After that you would test your theory, conduct experiments. And finally, your conclusion- what you got from the whole process basically.

Hope this helps.

A model air rocket with a mass of 50.g is free to travel along a horizontal track. It begins from rest. After 2.0s, the rocket h
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of rocket, m_r=50\ g
  • time of observation, t=2\ s
  • mass lost by the rocket by expulsion of air, m_a=10\%\ of m_r=5\ g
  • velocity of air, v_a=53\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now the momentum of air will be equal to the momentum of rocket in the opposite direction: </u>(Using the theory of elastic collision)

m_a.v_a=(m_r-m_a)\times v_r

5\times 53=(50-5)\times v_r

v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}
