Answer:

The correct option is False

Explanation:

Temperature, pressure and surface area are factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction and not a nuclear reaction. It should be noted that chemical reaction involves the electrons in the shell of an atom while nuclear reaction involves the unstable nucleus of a radioactive isotope. Thus, temperature, pressure and surface area do not affect the unstable nucleus during radioactive decay/emission.

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu

DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

$h= ut- 16 t^2$

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$0 = 192 t - 16 t^2 \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s$ .

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

You can enter compound units that are combinations of other units that are multiplied together.Torque can be calculated by multi

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

3.0 x 10¹ Nm

Explanation:

Torque = F x r

Where F is force applied and r is perpendicular distance from pivot point . r

is also called lever arm

Here F = 15 N and r = 2.0 m

Torque

= 15 N X 2.0 m

= 3.0 10¹ Nm.
