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.

The weight of an astronout is 60kg on earth, find the wight of the same object on the planet where the gravitational attraction
Marianna [84]

The astronaut's weight is not 60 kg anywhere, because kg is a unit of mass, not weight.

If the astronaut's mass is 60 kg, then his weight is (60 kg)x(acceleration of gravity).

That's 588 Newtons on Earth, and 58.8 Newtons on a planet with 1/10 Earth's gravity.

The astronaut's mass of 60 kg goes with her, and doesn't depend on where she is.

Assuming the bar has no weight where does the fulcrum (the top point of the tringle) need to be positioned for the two sides to
Inessa05 [86]

Fulcrum need to be positioned balanced with weight on both the sides following law of lever.

What is the physical law of the lever?

  • It is the foundation for issues with weight and balance. According to this rule, a lever is balanced when the weight multiplied by the arm on one side of the fulcrum, which serves as the pivot point for the device, equals the weight multiplied by the arm on the opposing side.
  • The lever is balanced, in other words, when the sum of the moments about the fulcrum is zero.
  • The situation in which the positive moments (those attempting to turn the lever clockwise) equal the negative moments is known as this (those that try to rotate it counterclockwise).
  • Moving the weights closer to or away from the fulcrum, as well as raising or lowering the weights, can alter the balance point, or CG, of the lever.

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame
sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²
