Which best describes fusion nuclear reactors? They use rods containing uranium for fuel. They are currently used for electricity

in several highly populated countries. They are used in some naval vessels, such as submarines. They have been successful, but they are very expensive to operate.

<h2>Right answer: They have been successful, but they are very expensive to operate. </h2>

A fusion reactor is a facility in which nuclear fusion reactions take place in a fuel formed by hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium), releasing energy in the form of heat, and then transforming it into electrical energy.

At the moment there is no commercial fusion reactor that allows to obtain electrical energy, although there are experimental research facilities where fusion reactions are studied, as well as the technology that will be used in the future.

In other words:

All commercial nuclear reactors currently in use work with <u>nucler fission</u> (separation of the components of the atom nucleous), not <u>nuclear fusion</u> (joining two light nucleous to form a heavier nucleous). And this is because, although experimental reactors have already shown us that nuclear fusion works, it is such a complex process that has not been yet found a way to get the fusion reaction to behave in a stable way for a long time and it is expensive as well.

Answer:

x=0.154kg

Explanation:

(x*L)+(0.5kg*4200*50)+(x*4200*(-50)=0

(x*333 000J/kg*c)+(0.5kg*4200J/kg*C*(-40C))+(x*4200J/kg*C*50C)=0

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>

A string of 26 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 120 V source. The string dissipates 73 W. What is th
spin [16.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}

I =0.608 A

Applying Ohm's law

R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}

R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is 197.4\Omega
