<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions.
1. slows down neutrons
moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue.
2. absorb emitted neutrons
control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction.
3. mass of unstable atoms
nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor.
4. concrete and lead enclosure
shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment.
5. energy transfer medium
coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>
Answer:
<h3>The mass of an object is the same on Earth, in orbit, or on the surface of the Moon. ... 1N=1kg ⋅m/s2. 1 N = 1 kg · m/s 2 . ... The gravitational force on a mass is its weight. ... </h3>
Explanation:
<h3>ILY:)</h3>
We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v.
K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!
The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. ... The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.Apr 23, 2014
Answer:
fact one
Explanation:
fact two is going slower and a longer distance than fact one so fact one will get there first.
hope this helps
