Nuclear power plant are used to generate electricity. In these power plant energy is produced by fission in the nuclear reactor.
The most common fuel used for the production of energy is U-235.
Control rods are inserted in the reactor if energy requirement is less and when energy requirement is large Control rods are remove. Hence, we can say that control rod can be used to regulate the reaction in the nuclear power plant.
The formula of the kinetic energy is: where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have: The answer is 2000 Joules.
