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.

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude thatthere mustbe no forces applied to the car.the netforc
laila [671]

Answer:Net Force is zero

Explanation:

Given

Car is moving to the left with constant velocity i.e. net force on the car is zero

because change in velocity with respect to time is acceleration thus  force is also zero because net acceleration is zero

Mathematically

acceleration=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

as velocity is constant therefore \Delta v=0

thus a=0 , F=0

Calculate the pressure on a man’s foot when a woman of mass 65 kg steps on his foot with her heel which has an area of 0.12m2 wi
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Pressure = force/area

= 650N/0.12m^2

= 5416.7 to 1 d.p

I got 650N by taking the gravitational field on earth to be 10N/kg.

Weight = mass x gravitational field

= 65 x 10N/kg

= 650

Answer is 5416.7 pascals (Pa)

Or

5308.3 Pa

if gravitational field was taken to be 9.8N/kg

Hope this helps!

For an air bag to work, it has to inflate full of nitrogen incredibly fast-within to
Lunna [17]

5.8 moles of nitrogen gas are needed to pressurize the air bag.

<h3>What's the expression of Ideal gas equation?</h3>
  • Ideal gas equation is PV=nRT
  • P= pressure, V = volume, n= no. of moles of gas, R= universal gas constant, T = temperature of the gas

<h3>What's the no. of moles of nitrogen present in a 60L air bag at 2.37 atm pressure and 25°C temperature?</h3>
  • P= 2.37 atm, V = 60L, R= 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K, T = 25°C = 298K
  • n= PV/RT

= (2.37×60)/(0.0821×298)

= 5.8 moles

Thus, we can conclude that 5.8 moles of nitrogen gas are needed to pressurize the air bag.
