Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

$V =\pi r^2 h$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048$

$V= 22.23\m^3$

$V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter$

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

$P=\dfrac{E}{V}$

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}$

$P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L$

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

4) A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

Suppose, the distance between 40 yard line and 25 yard line is 20 yard.

(a). We need to calculate their speed during that run

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where. d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{18.288}{2}$

$v=10\ m/s$ during that run

(b). We need to calculate their velocity

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{22.86-36.58}{2}$

$v=-6.86\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the direction of motion.

(c). If they kept running at that velocity for another 1.3 seconds,

We need to calculate the final position

Using formula of position

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=6.86\times1.3$

$d=8.91\ m$

Hence, (a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.
