The difference is that nuclear plants do not burn anything. Instead, they use uranium fuel, consisting of solid ceramic pellets, to produce electricity through a process called fission<span>. Nuclear power plants obtain the heat needed to produce steam through a physical process.

Hope this helps :)</span>

A clean energy resource. Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Part A W= 2772J

Part B = -2.772J

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

Part A when you move from lower to upper level

= mgh

= 63× 4.4×10

=2772J

=2.772KJ

Part B

When you move from upper to lower

The acceleration due to gravity becomes negative -10m/s^2

Therefore Work =-2772KJ

Work = -2.772KJ

When jumping, a flea reaches a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.47 mm .What is the flea's acceleration during the j
garri49 [273]
We can use kinematics here if we assume a constant acceleration (not realistic, but they want a single value answer, so it's implied). We know final velocity, vf, is 1.0 m/s, and we cover a distance, d, of 0.47mm or 0.00047 m (1m = 1000mm for conversion). We also can assume that the flea's initial velocity, vi, is 0 at the beginning of its jump. Using the equation vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad, we can solve for our acceleration, a. Like so: a = (vf^2 - vi^2)/2d = (1.0^2 - 0^2)/(2*0.00047) = 1,064 m/s^2, not bad for a flea!

If a shuttle is orbiting a planet at a distance of 40 miles from the center of the planet, and is traveling at a rate of 500 mil
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Time taken, t = 30.15 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance from the center of planet, r = 40 miles

Speed of the shuttle, v = 500 miles per hour

Let t is the time taken by it to complete  one full orbit. The displacement of the shuttle is,

d=2\pi r

d=2\pi \times 40

d = 251.32 miles

Now time can be calculated using the expression for the velocity as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{251.32\ miles}{500\ miles\ per\ hour}

t = 0.50264 hours

or

t = 30.15 minutes

So, the shuttle will take 30.15 minutes to complete one full orbit. Hence, this is the required solution.

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.
leonid [27]
Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".
