The correct answer is

A. Chain reaction

This is how the chain reaction works in a process of nuclear fission:

1) Slow-moving neutrons reach heavy, unstable, radioactive nuclei (such as Uranium-235)

2) The neutrons interact with the nuclei of Uranium, which break apart producing smaller nuclei and additional neutrons

3) The neutrons produced in the reaction are slowed down by a moderator (e.g. water) and they interact with new nuclei of Uranium, causing new fission reactions)

4) The new neutrons interact with new nuclei of Uranium, and so on...

A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the

alex41 [277]

Answer:

(a) $v_1 = a_1t_1 = 1.76 t_1$

(b) It won't hit

Explanation:

(a) the car velocity is the initial velocity (at rest so 0) plus product of acceleration and time t1

$v_1 = v_0 + a_1t_1 = 0 +1.76t_1 = 1.76t_1$

(b) The velocity of the car before the driver begins braking is

$v_1 = 1.76*20 = 35.2m/s$

The driver brakes hard and come to rest for t2 = 5s. This means the deceleration of the driver during braking process is

$a_2 = \frac{\Delta v_2}{\Delta t_2} = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2} = \frac{0 - 35.2}{5} = -7.04 m/s^2$

We can use the following equation of motion to calculate how far the car has travel since braking to stop

$s_2 = v_1t_2 + a_2t_2^2/2$

$s_2 = 35.2*5 - 7.04*5^2/2 = 88 m$

Also the distance from start to where the driver starts braking is

$s_1 = a_1t_1^2/2 = 1.76*20^2/2 = 352$

So the total distance from rest to stop is 352 + 88 = 440 m < 550 m so the car won't hit the limb

Answer:

The top of the mountian is colder

Explanation:

As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is this lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level.

Andru [333]

Answer:

a. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹ b. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹

Explanation:

Since only one force F acts, the force on spring with spring constant k₁ is F = k₁x₁ where x₁ is its extension

the force on spring with spring constant k₂ is F = k₂x₂ where x₁ is its extension

Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.

The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂

x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂

1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂

k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹

The force on spring with spring constant k₃ is F = k₃x₃ where x₃ is its extension

Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.

The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂ + F/k₃

1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃

k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹

saveliy_v [14]

The new pressure P2 is 2.48 atmosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the one of the product of pressure and volume is equal to the products of pressure and volume of other.

By using Boyles's law,

pressure is inversely proportional to volume,

P1 V1 = P2 V2

where P1, V1 represents the first pressure and volume,

P2, V2 represents the second pressure and volume

P2 = (P1 V1) / V2

= (1.75 $\times$ 8.8) / 6.2

P2 = 2.48 atmosphere.
