Answer:

Explanation:

In addition to the 'daughter' products, two or three neutrons also explode out of the fission reaction and these can then collide with other uranium nuclei which are unstable so these cause further fission reactions. This is known as a chain reaction .

A 1300-N crate rests on the floor. How much work is required to move it at constant speed (a)

kherson [118]

a) The work done is 920 J

b) The work done is 5200 J

Explanation:

In this first part of the problem, the crate is moved horizontally at constant speed.

The work required in this case is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

d is the displacement of the crate

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

Here the crate is moved at constant speed: this means that the acceleration of the crate is zero, and so according to Newton's second law, the net force on the crate is zero: this means that the force applied, F, must be equal to the force of friction (but in opposite direction), so

F = 230 N

The displacement is

d = 4.0 m

And the angle is $\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the force is applied horizontally. Therefore, the work done is

$W=(230)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=920 J$

In this case, the crate is moved vertically. The force that must be applied to lift the crate must be equal to the weight of the crate (in order to move it a constant speed), therefore

F = W = 1300 N

The displacement this time is again

d = 4.0 m

And the angle is $\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the force is applied vertically, and the crate is moved also vertically. Therefore, the work done on the crate this time is

$W=(1300)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=5200 J$

The unit for measuring electric power is the A. ampere. B. volt. C. ohm. D. watt.

Drupady [299]

The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.

A car travels 40 miles in 30 minutes.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

(a)Average velocity ,v =128.74 Km/hr

(b)Kinetic Energy , K=958546.875 Joule

(c)Distance, s=268.8m

(d)Acceleration, a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travelled = 40 miles

Time taken = 30 minutes.

(A) The average velocity in kilometres/hour

Converting 40 miles into km ,

we know that,

1 mile = 1.60934

40 miles = 40 x 1.60934

so 40 miles = 64.3738 Km

similarly converting 30 minutes into hours

1 minute = $\frac{1}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{30}{60}hours$

30 minute = $\frac{1}{2}hours$

Now

Average velocity = $\frac{Speed}{time}$

Substituting Values,

Average velocity = $\frac{64.3738}{\frac[1}{2}}$

Average velocity = $64.3738 \times 2$

Average velocity =128.74 Km/hr

(B) If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its kinetic energy in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)? in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)?

Converting 1.5 tons into kg we get

1 ton = 1000 kg

so 1.5 ton =1500 kg

converting velocity to m/s

$128.74 \times \frac{5}{18}$

=>35.75 m/s----------------------------------------------------------(1)

kinetic energy K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting the values,

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(35.75)^2$

K= $\frac{1}{2}1500(1278.06)$

K= $\frac{1500 \times (1278.06)}{2}$

K= $\frac{1917093.75}{2}$

K=958546.875 Joule---------------------------------------------(2)

(c)When the driver applies the brake, it takes 15 seconds to stop. How far does the car travel (in meters) while stopping

Lets use Distance formula,

$S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substituting the known values,

$s= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s= (37.75)(15)+\frac{1}{2}a(15)^2$

$s=566.25+\frac{1}{2}a(225)$

$s=566.25+\frac{(225a)}{2}$ -------------------------------------(3)

(D) What is the average acceleration of the car (in m/s2) during braking?

Using the formula

v=u +at

re arranging the formula we get,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Substituting the values

$a = \frac{0 - 35.75}{15}$

$a = \frac{- 35.75}{15}$

a= - 2.38 $m/s^2$ ----------------------------------------(4)

Now substituting 4 in 3 we get

$s=566.25+\frac{(225( - 2.38)}{2}$

$s=566.25+\frac{-535.5}{2}$

$s=536.25-267.75$

s=268.8m--------------------------------------------------------------(5)

Soil can best be described as the

Rom4ik [11]

The correct option is D. Soil can best be described as the loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter. There are different types of soil, the type of soil formed depends majorly on the type of parent rock from which the soil is formed and the amount of organic matter present in the soil.
