Answer:

option A.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option A.

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.

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Why is the sky blue?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Chemical properties of an acid include...
Igoryamba
This is a list of well known characteristics of acids:

1) acids increase the concentration of hydronum ions ([H3O+]) when dissolved in water

2) acids taste sour

3) many are corrosive (the higher the acidity the higher the corrosive property)

4) when acids react with some metals produce hydrogen gas

5) acids conduct electricity (due to the presence of hydronium ions)

6) acids neutralize bases

7) acids combine with bases to produce water and salt

8) acids lower the pH of solutions.

They do not feel sticky to the touch. Bases fell slippery but there is not that property of sticky sensation about acids, although some highly concentrated strong acids have high viscosity. You cannot touch highly concentrated strong acids.
