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 pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 33.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the a
diamong [38]

Answer:\theta =9.96^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

Plane wishes to fly in west

but wind with speed 33.9 km/h towards south obstructing its path

so plane must fly at an angle of \theta w.r.t west such that it final velocity is towards west

Plane absolute speed=195 km/h

To fly towards west velocity in Y direction should be zero

thus 195sin\theta =33.9

\theta =9.96^{\circ}

so Plane should head towards 9.96^{\circ} North of west in order to fly in west.

So plane

actual velocity is

v=-195cos9.96\hat{i}+195sin9.96\hat{j}

<span> gravitational force varies based on 1/r^2
when you're double the distance =10,000 to 20,000, the force is 4 times smaller so on and so forth.
</span><span>As force is proportional to 1 / {distance squared}, the force will be 1 / 2^2 (i.e. 1/4) of the force at the reference distance (i.e. 1/4 * 600 = 150 lb)
