Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive
Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>
The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
Answer:
Explanation:
En la historia de la ciencia se han dado auténticas barbaridades. Pruebas con animales que hoy no perdonaría nadie, o investigaciones de conducta con personas como la de la cárcel de Stanford, que se han saldado como una especie de pasado incómodo sobre los límites de la experimentación. Sin embargo, pocos se pueden acercar por su carácter perturbador al denominado experimento de Little Albert o Pequeño Albert: El salvaje intento por probar con un bebé que las fobias pueden ser condicionadas y aprendidas. Y lo que es peor, conseguirlo.
Esta idea surgió de la mente de John Broadus Watson, reconocido padre de la rama conductista de la psicología, que desde 1913 había comenzado a probar en animales sus tesis. Estas bebían directamente del los estudios de Iván Pavlov, fisiólogo ruso que ganó el Nobel en 1904 por sus estudios sobre el sistema digestivo, pero que también sentó precedentes sobre la psicología.

When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface near the equator, the incoming solar radiation is more direct (nearly perpendicular or closer to a 90˚ angle). Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures.
Answer: Question 1: Efficiency is 0.6944
Question 2: speed of similar pump is 2067rpm
Explanation:
Question 1:
Flow rate of pump 1 (Q1) = 300gpm
Flow rate of pump 2 (Q2) = 400gpm
Head of pump (H)= 55ft
Speed of pump1 (v1)= 1500rpm
Speed of pump2(v2) = ?
Diameter of impeller in pump 1= 15.5in = 0.3937m
Diameter of impeller in pump 2= 15in = 0.381
B.H.P= 6.0
Assuming cold water, S.G = 1.0
eff= (H x Q x S.G)/ 3960 x B.H.P
= (55x 300x 1)/3960x 6
= 0.6944
Question 2:
Q = A x V. (1)
A1 x v1 = A2 x V2. (2)
Since A1 = A2 = A ( since they are geometrically similar
A = Q1/V1 = Q2/V2. (3)
V1(m/s) = r x 2π x N(rpm)/60
= (0.3937x 2 x π x 1500)/2x 60
= 30.925m/s
Using equation (3)
V2 = (400 x 30.925)/300
= 41.2335m/s
To rpm:
N(rpm) = (60 x V(m/s))/2 x π x r
= (60 x 41.2335)/ 2× π × 0.1905
= 2067rpm.
