 A nuclear fission reaction generally does not result in an uncontrolled chain reaction because of the release of binding energy
Bad White [126]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

 For the chain reaction in a nuclear fission to sustain , the size of nuclear material must be of some minimum magnitude ( called critical mass ) other wise after some time the chain reaction ceases to continue. The reason is that too many of neutrons that are instrumental in sustaining the reaction starts leaking out of the surface of fissionable material  . This results in the stoppage of the reaction after some time.

The amplitude, or magnitude, of a sinusoidal source is the maximum value of the source. What is the amplitude of the voltage sou
liraira [26]

Answer:

<em>A = 0.05 V</em>

Explanation:

<u>Sinusoidal Functions</u>

A sinusoid or sinusoidal function is a sine or cosine which general equation is

F(x)=A.sin(wt-\phi)

Or also

F(x)=A.cos(wt-\phi)

Where A is the amplitude or maximum value, w is the angular frequency, t is the time and \phi is the phase shift.

Comparing the given expression with the general formula

v(t)=50cos(2000t-45^o) mV

We can establish that A=50 mV = 0.05 V

A = 0.05\ V

A lawyer drives from her​ home, located 1 mile east and 8 miles north of the town​ courthouse, to her​ office, located 4 miles w
givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

d = r_2 - r_1

d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles
