When used as an energy source in a nuclear power plant, uranium is burned in a similar way as one would burn wood or coal for en

False because nuclear fission is used on uranium in nuclear power station and this reaction is continuous since a neutron hits a uranium atom and splits it. Then 2-3 neutrons are released which continues the cycle or hitting other uranium atoms. If this reaction isn't contained, it could get out of control and become a nuclear bomb. So it can't be burned like wood nor coal.
Hope this is helpful. <span />

Waves carry ______ from one place to another?<br><br> energy<br> crests<br> troughts<br> wavelengths
Leni [432]

Answer:

Energy.

Explanation:

Waves can travel through medium and can be without medium.

In electromagnetic waves the energy travels through vibration of electric field and magnetic field while in sound waves energy is transferred through vibration of particles through which sound waves are travelling or though vibration of air particles.

A charge of 32.0 nC is placed in a uniform electric field that is directed vertically upward and has a magnitude of 4.30x 104 V/
hodyreva [135]

A) The work done by the electric field is zero

B) The work done by the electric field is 9.1\cdot 10^{-4} J

C) The work done by the electric field is -2.4\cdot 10^{-3} J

Explanation:

A)

The electric field applies a force on the charged particle: the direction of the force is the same as that of the electric field (for a positive charge).

The work done by a force is given by the equation

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the particle

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement

In this problem, we have:

  • The force is directed vertically upward (because the field is directed vertically upward)
  • The charge moves to the right, so its displacement is to the right

This means that force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, so

\theta=90^{\circ}

and cos 90^{\circ}=0: therefore, the work done on the charge by the electric field is zero.

B)

In this case, the charge move upward (same direction as the electric field), so

\theta=0^{\circ}

and

cos 0^{\circ}=1

Therefore, the work done by the electric force is

W=Fd

and we have:

F=qE is the magnitude of the electric force. Since

E=4.30\cdot 10^4 V/m is the magnitude of the electric field

q=32.0 nC = 32.0\cdot 10^{-9}C is the charge

The electric force is

F=(32.0\cdot 10^{-9})(4.30\cdot 10^4)=1.38\cdot 10^{-3} N

The displacement of the particle is

d = 0.660 m

Therefore, the work done is

W=Fd=(1.38\cdot 10^{-3})(0.660)=9.1\cdot 10^{-4} J

C)

In this case, the angle between the direction of the field (upward) and the displacement (45.0° downward from the horizontal) is

\theta=90^{\circ}+45^{\circ}=135^{\circ}

Moreover, we have:

F=1.38\cdot 10^{-3} N (electric force calculated in part b)

While the displacement of the charge is

d = 2.50 m

Therefore, we can now calculate the work done by the electric force:

W=Fdcos \theta = (1.38\cdot 10^{-3})(2.50)(cos 135.0^{\circ})=-2.4\cdot 10^{-3} J

And the work is negative because the electric force is opposite direction to the displacement of the charge.

A van accelerates from 4m/s to 20m/s in 8s. How far does it travel in this time?​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

96 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 4 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 8 s

Let Acceleration be " a ".

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 4 ) / 8

= 16 / 8

a = 2 m/s²

Let displacement be " s ".

Formula : -

s = ut + at² / 2

s = ( 4 ) ( 8 ) + ( 2 ) ( 8² ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 64 ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 32 )

= 32 + 64

s = 96 m

Therefore, it travels 96 m in time 8 s.
