<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.

A 3.50 cm tall object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the image height?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula to first get the image distance

1/f = 1/u+1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Given f = 16.0 cm, u = 24.8 cm

1/v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625-0.04032

1/v = 0.02218

v = 1/0.02218

v = 45.09 cm

To get the image height, we will us the magnification formula.

Mag = v/u = Hi/H

Hi = image height = ?

H = object height = 3.50 cm

45.09/24.8 = Hi/3.50

Hi = (45.09*3.50)/24.8

Hi = 6.36 cm

The image height is 6.36 cm

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold

Liula [17]

Answer:

$L_{o}=0.1224m$

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

$F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m$
