PE = mass * height * 9.81
PE = 142 * 25 * 9.81
PE = 34825.5 J

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by $2.8^{o}C$ every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is $1.60\times 10^{5}kg$ will require

$0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ$

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

$\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s$

The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental

pav-90 [236]

A) $5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is

$E=25 keV = 25,000 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=4\cdot 10^{-15} J$

The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck constant

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4\cdot 10^{-15}J}=5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

B) $2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is

$E=2.5 \cdot (4\cdot 10^{-15}J)=1\cdot 10^{-14} J$

And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1\cdot 10^{-14}J}=2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$
