Which type of nuclear reaction is used in commercial power generation?

Physics

Lisa [10]3 years ago
7 0

The commercial power generation is done using the nuclear fission reaction.

Answer: option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

The nuclear fission reaction is the reaction in the nucleus where the nucleus is divided into smaller parts. It is apparent from the name itself as it’s a destructive reaction where the nucleus splits.

This splitting of the nucleus occurs as a result of the heavy bombardment done over the atom through which the nucleus splits. The splitting is done into many parts of a smaller size.

Explain how tidal forces are causing Earth to slow down.
dybincka [34]

Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.

Two boats are anchored in the harbor, separated by a horizontal distance of 18 m. The boats bob up and down as waves enter the h
sineoko [7]
<h2><u>Given</u>:</h2>

Horizontal distance between two boats = x = 14 m

One boat is at trough, the other is at crest.

As there is no crests between them meaning the boat are next to each other.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests/troughs = w

The distance between a crest and a trough next to it = w/2

Complete cycles = c = 5

Time taken for c cycles = t = 15 s

Vertical distance between two boats = y = 2.4 m

<h2><u>To find</u>:</h2>

wavelength = w = 2x = 28 m

Amplitude =  A = Displacement from mean to extreme position = y/2 = 1.2 m

Time period for one cycle = T = t/c = 15/5 = 3 s/cycle

frequency = 1/T = 1/3 = 0.33 hertz

speed = wavelength/Period = w/T = 28/3 = 9.33 m/s

Magnitude of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).

The Moon has too little iron, Mercury too much. How can both of these anomalies be the result of giant impacts? Explain how the
arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

Giant impact has resulted into formation of celestial bodies such as moon.

Moon was formed years after the Earth was formed. When Earth collided with very big size bodies, there was vaporization of chunks of the planets in to the space. Gravity plays its role and bounded those particles together thus forming moon.

This formation explains Moon is made up of lighter elements and contains too little iron where as Mercury was formed with the rest of the planets and just like earth, its core is formed first which is of iron and then collected the lighter elements to form crust and mantle.

Though both Moon and Mercury were the result of giant impacts yet they have different elements because mercury was made earlier and its is closer to moon hence it collected heavy elements such as iron to for the formation where as moon is the result of collision of Earth and other Mars- sized body hence its constituent particles are different that of mercury.
