What physical properties dose plutonium

Physics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Plutonium-239 is one of the two fissile materials used for the production of nuclear weapons and in some nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The other fissile material is uranium-235. Plutonium-239 is virtually nonexistent in nature. It is made by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Uranium-238 is present in quantity in most reactor fuel; hence plutonium-239 is continuously made in these reactors. Since plutonium-239 can itself be split by neutrons to release energy, plutonium-239 provides a portion of the energy generation in a nuclear reactor.

Find the magnitude of the impulse delivered to a soccer ball when a player kicks it with a force of 1450 N . Assume that the pla
juin [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of Impulse. Which is described as the product between the Force and the change in time. Mathematically this can be described as

I = F \Delta t

Where,

F = Force

\Delta t= Time

Our values are given as,

F = 1450N

\Delta t = 5.1*10^{-3} s

Replacing we have,

I = (1450)(5.1*10^{-3})

I = 7.395Kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the impulse delivered to the soccer ball is 7.395Kg\cdot m/s or  7.395N\cdot s

How does energy limit the number of trophic levels in an energy pyramid?
nadya68 [22]

Answer: The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

In concave mirror, the size of image depends upon
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The distance of the object placed on the principal axis from the concave mirror.

Explanation:

In a concave mirror, the nature of the image formed formed by the object placed in front of the mirror depends on the position of the object placed in from of the mirror. It all depends on the distance between the mirror and the object placed on the principal axis.

The closer the object is to the lens, the more larger or magnified the image formed will be. For example an object placed between the focal point and the pole of a concave produces a much larger image than an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of such mirror.
