<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) A chain reaction will be sustained in a sub-critical mass

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Critical mass is the minimum or the smallest amount of a given fissile material necessary to achieve a self-sustaining fission chain reaction under stated conditions.
  • A subcritical mass is a mass of fissile material that does not have the ability to sustain a fission chain reaction.

Molecular orbital theory correctly predicts paramagnetism of oxygen gas. true or false
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [<em>eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals</em> minus (-) <em>four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals</em>]/2 in the electron configuration.

Atoms/molecules where electrons are paired are diamagnetic (repelled by both poles of a magnetic); while atoms/molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic (attracted to magnetic field).

The two unpaired electrons of dioxygen molecules has made it <u>paramagnetic</u>. By pouring liquid oxygen between the poles of a strong magnet, the liquid stream will be contained by the filed and fills up the space between the poles.

zavuch27 [327]
Imagine a ball is moving on the following horizontal line.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Take right as positive. O is the starting point of the ball. Denote the ball by o.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . ... . . o . . . . . .

Assume the ball is moving to the right. It has positive displacement since it is on the right of O, and positive velocity since its positive displacement is increasing.

.ñ

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . o . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now the ball is returning to O. It still has positive displacement since its current position is still on the right of O. However, its velocity is negative since its positive displacement is decreasing and the direction of the velocity vector points left, which is the negative side.

By now you should be able to come up with a scenario where the ball has negative displacement and positive velocity.

You can observe the same phenomenon in daily life. Say, as a stretched spring bounces to its starting position, if we let the returning direction be positive, the string has negative displacement since it is on the negative direction, but has positive velocity. Bungee jump can also used to illustrate the phenomenon.

Which of the following best describes why tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource? A. The Moon receives energy fr
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.

The patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20 deg angle 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee. If the force generated i
gregori [183]

Answer:

the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

force generated in the patellar tendon F = 400 N

patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20° angle 3 cm( 0.03 m ) from the axis of rotation at the knee.

so Torque produced by the knee will be;

T = F × d⊥

T = 400 N × 0.03 m × sin( 20° )

T = 400 N × 0.03 m × 0.342

T = 4.104 N.m

Now, we determine the moment of inertia of the knee

I = mk²

given that; the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm ( 0.25 m )

we substitute

I = 4.2 kg × ( 0.25 m )²

I = 4.2 kg × 0.0626 m²

I = 0.2625 kg.m²

So from the relation of Moment of inertia, Torque and angular acceleration;

T = I∝

we make angular acceleration ∝, subject of the formula

∝ = T / I

we substitute

∝ = 4.104 / 0.2625

∝ = 15.65 rad/s²

Therefore, the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²
