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.

Vector C has a magnitude of 24.6 m and points in the − y ‑ direction. Vectors A and B both have positive y ‑ components, and mak

frez [133]

Answer:

A= 61.35

B= -44.40

Explanation:

1. Using the components method we have:

$A_{x}= A cos \alpha\\B_{x}= B cos \beta\\C_{x}= 0\\\\A_{y}= A sin \alpha\\B_{y}= B sin \beta\\C_{y}= 24.6\\$

Considering that the vector sum $A+B+C=0$ , then:

$|V|=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2} +V_{y}^{2} }=0$

Then:

$V_{x} ^{2} =0; V_{x} =0\\V_{y} ^{2} =0; V_{y} =0$

It means the value of x and y component is 0.

2. Determinate the equations that describe each component:

$V_{x}= A cos \alpha -B cos \beta=0 (1)\\V_{y}= A sin \alpha +B sin \beta - C=0 (2)$

Form Eq. (1):

$A=B \frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha} (3)$

Replacing A in Eq. (2):

$(B\frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha})(sin \alpha)+ B sin\beta-C=0\\(B\frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha})(sin \alpha)+ B sin\beta-=C\\\\B(\frac{cos \beta. sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+ sin\beta)=C\\B=C(\frac{cos \beta. sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+ sin\beta)^{-1} (4)$

Replacing values of C, α and β in (4):

$B= 24.6 (\frac{(cos 27.7)(sin 44.9)}{cos 44.9}+sin 27.7)^{-1} \\B= -44.4$

Replacing value of B in (3)

$A=-44.40\frac{cos 27.7}{sin 49.9} \\A= 61.35$

A ball is falling after rolling off a tall roof<br> The ball has what type of energy.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Linear and rotational Kinetic Energy + Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

The ball rolls off a tall roof and starts falling.

Let us first consider the potential energy or more specifically gravitational potential energy ( $mgh$ ; $m$ = mass of the ball, $g$ = acceleration due to gravity, $h$ = height of the roof). This energy comes because someone or something had to do work to take the ball to the top of the roof against the force of gravity. The potential energy is naturally maximum at the top and minimum when the ball finally reaches the ground.

Now, the ball starts to roll and falls off the roof. It shall continue rotating because of inertia (Newton's first law). This contributes to the rotational kinetic energy ( $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ ; $I$ =moment of inertia of the ball & $\omega$ = angular velocity).
