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

ergy.

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 />

DESCRIBE floods and droughts. What are their effects? EXPLAIN how they can be prevented
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

* Hopefully this helps:) Mark me the brainliest:)!!!

Calculate the recoil speed of a 1.4 kg rifle shooting 0.006 kg bullets with muzzle speed of 800 m/a.3.43 m/s
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a) 3.43 m/s

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the bullet - rifle system must be conserved.

The total momentum before the bullet is shot is zero, because they are both at rest, so:

p_i = 0

Instead the total momentum of the system after the shot is:

p_f = mv+MV

where:

m = 0.006 kg is the mass of the bullet

M = 1.4 kg is the mass of the rifle

v = 800 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

V is the recoil velocity of the rifle

The total momentum is conserved, therefore we can write:

p_i = p_f

Which means:

0=mv+MV

Solving for V, we can find the recoil velocity of the rifle:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.006)(800)}{1.4}=-3.43 m/s

where the negative sign indicates that the velocity is opposite to direction of the bullet: so the recoil speed is

a) 3.43 m/s

Two vectors are shown. Which statement best compares the vectors?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Because vector Y is longer than vector X

so when you take a magnitude( without minus ) each other

you see that Y>X
