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 />

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Magnification will be equal to 3

Explanation:

We have given focal length of the converging lens F_1=20cm

Focal length of the diverging lens F_2=30cm

Object is placed 40 cm to the length of the converging lens d = 40 cm

Combination of the focal length will be equal to

\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{F_1}+\frac{1}{F_2}

\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{60}

F = 60 cm

So combination of the focal length will be 60 cm

Magnification is given by

M=\frac{F}{F-d}=\frac{60}{60-40}=3

So magnification will be equal to 3

astraxan [27]

Answer:

x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

F = kx\\

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

<u>x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm</u>

What are conductors, semiconductors, non-conductors, dielectrics?
elena55 [62]

Conductors are substances that pass an electrical charge.

Semiconductors are substances whose electrical conductivity is lower than that of metals and greater than that of dielectrics.

Electricity nonconductors or insulators - in the terminology of Faraday - dielectrics (see). N. perfect does not exist; they represent only a large resistance to galvanic current and then different bodies in varying degrees (see Galvanic current), so that between poor and good conductors there are many bodies of average conductivity. N. The galvanic current is also the best insulators of static electricity. N. Heat or its bad conductors are at the same time electrical insulators (see Thermal Conductivity).

A dielectric (insulator) is a substance that is poorly conducting or not conducting at all. The concentration of free charge carriers in a dielectric does not exceed 108 cm-3. The main property of the dielectric is the ability to polarize in an external electric field. From the point of view of the band theory of a solid body, a dielectric is a substance with a band gap greater than 3 eV.
