In a nuclear power plant, uranium atoms ______

Physics
1 answer:
motikmotik2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission, and most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms. During nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. More neutrons are also released when a uranium atom splits.

Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 25 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the bigger crate be in touch with the ground which is friction less. In the first case both m₁ and m₂ will move with common acceleration because m₁ is not sliding over m₂.

1 ) Common acceleration a = force / total mass

= 234 / ( 25 +91 )

= 2.017 m s⁻².

2 ) Force on m₁ accelerating it , which is nothing but friction force on it by m₂

= mass x acceleration

= 25 x 2.017

= 50.425 N

The same force will be applied by m₁ on m₂ as friction force which will act in opposite direction.

3 ) Maximum friction force that is possible between m₁ and m₂

= μ_s m₁g

= .79 x 25 x 9.8

= 193.55 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 193 .55 / 25

= 7.742 m s⁻²

This is the common acceleration in case of maximum tension required

So tension in rope

= ( 25 +91 ) x 7.742

= 898 N

4 ) In case of upper crate sliding on m₂ , maximum friction force on m₁

=  μ_k m₁g

= .62 x 25 x 9.8

= 151.9 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 151.9 / 25

= 6.076 m s⁻².

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC . Part A How many electrons did it lose in the process of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻

Explanation:

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC = + 20 × 10⁻¹² C. This is a consequence of losing electrons (negative charges). The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96468 C (Faraday's constant). The moles of electrons representing 20 pC are:

20 × 10⁻¹² C × (1 mol e⁻/ 96468 C) = 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻

1 mole of electrons has 6.02 × 10²³ electrons (Avogadro's number). The electrons is 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ moles of electrons are:

2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻ × (6.02 × 10²³ e⁻/ 1 mol e⁻) = 1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻
