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 projectile is fired in such away that its horizontal range is equal to three times its naximum height.what is the angle of pro
finlep [7]

Answer:

\theta=53.13^o

Explanation:

<u>2-D Projectile Motion</u>

In 2-D motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration, while the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration due to gravity. The basic formulas for this type of movement are

V_x=V_{ox}=V_ocos\theta

V_y=V_{oy}-gt=V_osin\theta-gt

x=V_{ox}t

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle x_{max}=\frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}

\displaystyle y_{max}=\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}

The projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to three times its maximum height. We need to find the angle \theta at which the object should be launched. The range is the maximum horizontal distance reached by the projectile, so we establish the base condition:

x_{max}=3y_{max}

\displaystyle \frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}=3\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}

Using the formulas for V_{ox}, V_{oy}:

\displaystyle \frac{2V_{o}cos\theta V_{o}sin\theta}{g}=3\frac{V_{o}^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

Simplifying

4cos\theta sin\theta=3sin^2\theta

Dividing by sin\theta

4cos\theta=3sin\theta

Rearranging

tan\theta=\frac{4}{3}

\theta=arctan\frac{4}{3}

\theta=53.13^o

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces

a car with a mass of 2000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. The curve h
melisa1 [442]
In the given problem, we say various information's that are going to help us reach the ultimate answer to the question. Let us first write the information's that have been presented in front of us.
Mass of the car = 2000 kg
Velocity of the car = 25 m/s^2
Radius of the circle = 80 m
Now we already know the equation for calculating the centripetal force and that is
Centripetal Force = [mass * (velocity)^2]/Radius
                            = [2000 * (25)^2]/80
                            = (2000 * 625)/80
                            = 1250000/80
                            = 15625
So the centripetal force on the car is 15625 Newtons
