A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of
1 answer:
Answer:
mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg
Explanation:
electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV
= 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s
thermal energy = 0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV
= 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second
=5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)
= 5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day
mu = 235.04393 × 1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg
M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴
= 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴
M = 2 kg(approx.)
mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.
Explanation:
Let f is the frequency of an oscillation and T is the period of the oscillation. There exists an inverse relationship between the frequency and the time period of the oscillation. Mathematically, it is given by :
Also,
So,
The time taken to complete one oscillation is called the period of the oscillation and the number of oscillation is called the frequency if an oscillation.
