<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A. A nuclear power plant</u> produces radioactive wave.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A plant in which a nuclear reactor is used as a source to produce heat is known as nuclear power plant. The heat formed by the reactor is used to form steam which can be used to drive turbines to produce electricity.

The coolant in reactor gets heated by the fission process taking place in the reactor. It is a cyclic process where the steam is condensed and reverted back. A nuclear power plant in active condition produce a small amount of radiation which can be sensed within a radius of 50 miles.

Elements in a period have _____________.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) K = 0.63 J, b) h = 0.153 m

Explanation:

a) In this exercise we have a physical pendulum since the rod is a material object, the angular velocity is

w² = $\frac{m g d}{I}$

where d is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass and I is the moment of inertia.

The rod is a homogeneous body so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the rod.

d = L / 2

the moment of inertia of the rod is the moment of a rod supported at one end

I = ⅓ m L²

we substitute

w = $\sqrt{\frac{mgL}{2} \ \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} mL^2} }$

w = $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} \ \frac{g}{L} }$

w = $\sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} \ \frac{9.8}{0.75} }$

w = 4.427 rad / s

an oscillatory system is described by the expression

θ = θ₀ cos (wt + Φ)

the angular velocity is

w = dθ /dt

w = - θ₀ w sin (wt + Ф)

In this exercise, the kinetic energy is requested in the lowest position, in this position the energy is maximum. For this expression to be maximum, the sine function must be equal to ±1

In the exercise it is indicated that at the lowest point the angular velocity is

w = 4.0 rad / s

the kinetic energy is

K = ½ I w²

K = ½ (⅓ m L²) w²

K = 1/6 m L² w²

K = 1/6 0.42 0.75² 4.0²

K = 0.63 J

b) for this part let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Lowest point

Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

final point. Highest point

Em_f = U = m g h

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

½ I w² = m g h

½ (⅓ m L²) w² = m g h

h = 1/6 L² w² / g

h = 1/6 0.75² 4.0² / 9.8

h = 0.153 m

What is the relationship between the poles of a magnet? which direction does the magnet field move?

Assoli18 [71]

A magnet has a South Pole and a North Pole. South Pole and South Pole can't connect to her other, same as North and North. The same poles push each other away.
South Pole and North Pole connect.

You go to the hardware store to buy a new 50 ft garden hose. You find you can choose between hoses of ½ inch and 5/8 inch inner

omeli [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider two concepts. The first of these is the flow rate that can be defined as the volumetric quantity that a channel travels in a given time. The flow rate can also be calculated from the Area and speed, that is,

Q = V*A

Where,

A= Cross-sectional Area

V = Velocity

The second concept related to the calculation of this problem is continuity, which is defined as the proportion that exists between the input channel and the output channel. It is understood as well as the geometric section of entry and exit, defined as,

$Q_1 = Q_2$
