Consider a nuclear power plant that produces 1200 MW of power and has a conversion efficiency of 34 percent (that is, for each u

nit of fuel energy used, the plant produces 0.34 units of electrical energy. Assuming continuous operation, determine the amount of nuclear fuel consumed by the plant per year.

Answer:

The amount of nuclear fuel required is 1.24 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the principle of mass energy equivalence we know that energy generated by mass 'm' in an nuclear plant is

E=m\cdot c^2

where

'c' is the speed of light in free space

Since the power plant operates at 1200 MW thus the total energy produced in 1 year equals

E=1200\times 10^6\times 3600\times 24\times 365=3.8\times 10^{16}Joules

Thus using the energy produced in the energy equivalence we get

3.8\times 10^{16}=mass\times (3\times 10^{8})^2\\\\\therefore mass=\frac{3.8\times 10^{16}}{9\times 10^{16}}=0.422kg

Now since the efficiency of conversion is 34% thus the fuel required equals

mass_{required}=\frac{0.422}{0.34}=1.24kg

Answer: B

You can find slope by using the slope formula. Because we are already given two coordinate points, we can use that to find our slope. The slope formula is \frac{y^{2}-y^{1}  }{x^{2}-x^{1} }. This also refers to \frac{5-(-5)}{0-4} or 10/-4 or -5/2. Any coordinate with the x-value as 0 means that that coordinate is the y-intercept. Because (0,5) has 0 as its x-value, the y-intercept is 5.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Distance between A ----> B : 2 cm

B ---> C: 3 cm : 600 meters

A----> C: 4 cm

3:600 meters scaled

So its 200 meters per every 1 cm!

From A to B : 400 meters

From B to C : 600 meters

Frok C to A: 800 meters

Therefore we sum 400+600+800= 1800 meters
