This statement is true. Among all the other sources of energy, nuclear energy from radioactive elements are the ones that create a very massive energy. Radioactive elements are unstable because they have high neutron-proton ratio. That's why they undergo nuclear reactions to reduce this ratio. As a result, they give off sub-atomic particles called alpha, beta, gamma and positron molecules. Because these particles have to be pulled out of the nucleus, it release great energy in the from of heat. This heat then turns the turbine so it could activate the generator to make electricity.

A car travels from 20-meters to 60-meters in 10 seconds. Calculate the car's speed.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

8 m/s

Explanation:

All you have to do here is add 20 and 60 (giving you 80) and dividing by 10 seconds. 80/10= 8 m/s

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.

An occupant of a car has a chance of surviving a crash if the deceleration during the crash is not more then 30 g. Calculate the
sweet [91]

Answer:

20,850 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using second Newton's Law:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 70 kg is the mass

a=-30 g=-30 (9.8 m/s^2)=-294 m/s^2 is the acceleration (which is negative, because it is a deceleration)

So, we can use the equation above to find the force:

F=(70 kg)(-294 m/s^2)=-20580 N

and the negative sign simply means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion.

A scuba diver at 70 m below the surface of a lake, where the temperature is 4 degrees C, releases an air bubble with a volume of
posledela

Answer:

121.3 cm^3

Explanation:

P1 = Po + 70 m water pressure (at a depth)

P2 = Po (at the surface)

T1 = 4°C = 273 + 4 = 277 K

V1 = 14 cm^3

T2 = 23 °C = 273 + 23 = 300 K

Let the volume of bubble at the surface of the lake is V2.

Density of water, d = 1000 kg/m^3

Po = atmospheric pressure = 10^5 N/m^2

P1 = 10^5 + 70 x 1000 x 10 = 8 x 10^5 N/m^2

Use the ideal gas equation

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

By substituting the values, we get

\frac{8\times 10^5\times 14}{277}=\frac{10^{5} \timesV_{2}}{300}

V2 = 121.3 cm^3

Thus, the volume of bubble at the surface of lake is 121.3 cm^3.

Need help on this thank you
Semmy [17]

Answer:

TRUE - In any collision between two objects, the colliding objects exert equal and opposite force upon each other. This is simply Newton's law of action-reaction.
