<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.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

A cylindrical container closed of both end has a radius of 7cm and height of 6cm A.)find the total surface area of the container

Natalka [10]

Given:

A cylindrical container closed of both end has a radius of 7cm and height of 6cm.

Explanation:

A.) Find the total surface area of the container.

A = 2πrh + 2πr²
A = 2(3.14)(7)(6) + 2(3.14)(7 × 7)
A = 263.76 + 307.72
A = 571.48

B.) Find the volume of the container.

V = πr²h
V = (3.14)(7×7)(6)
V = 923.16

Not sure huhuness.

A block (mass = 61.2 kg) is hanging from a massless cord that is wrapped around a pulley (moment of inertia = 1/2MR2 kg · m2, wh

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w = 53.35 \ rounds /minute$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m = 61.2kg$

The of the pulley is $M = 14.2 kg$

The radius of the pulley is $R = 1.5m$

The radius of the cord around the pulley is $r = 1.5 m$

The distance of the block to the floor is $d = 8.0 m$

From the question we are told that the moment of inertia of the pulley is

$I = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 kg \cdot m^2$

Substituting value

$I = \frac{1}{2} * 14.2 * (1.5)^2$

$I = 15.975 kg \cdot m^2$

Using the Newtons law we can express the force acting on the vertical axis as

$ma = mg -T$

=> $T = mg -ma$

Now when the pulley is rotated that torque generated on the massless cord as a r result of the tension T and the radius of the cord around the pulley is mathematically represented as

$\tau = I \alpha$
