Physics
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Satellites don't fall from the sky because they are orbiting Earth. Even when satellites are thousands of miles away, Earth's gravity still tugs on them. Gravity--combined with the satellite's momentum from its launch into space--cause the satellite go into orbit above Earth, instead of falling back down to the groundv

a supertanker traveling at 7.2 m/s decelerates to a halt in 12 min. Calculate the magnitud of its average decelaration in meters
Nataliya [291]

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 7.2 m/s) / (12 min ×  60 s/min)

a = -0.01 m/s²

Which of the following parts of a nuclear power plant is turned by steam? Select one: a. control rods b. reactor vessel c. turbi
SOVA2 [1]

A nuclear power plant is defined as a thermal power station where electricity is generated by the help of sustainable nuclear fission.

A nuclear power plant needs nuclear reactor as the thermal energy generator .The reactor has various parts where fissionable radioactive material will undergo nuclear fission .Through this process high amount of thermal energy is released which is allowed to water to generate steam.

The steam produced in the reactor drives the turbine which is connected to the generator.Due to the electromagnetic induction the generator will produce electricity.

The control rods present in the nuclear reactor will control the rate of fission by absorbing the thermal neutrons.

Hence the correct answer of the question is C i.e Turbine.
