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.

mass of iron block given as

$m_1 = 1.90 kg$

density of iron block is

$\rho = 7860 kg/m^3$

now the volume of the iron piece is given as

$V = \frac{m}{\rho}$

$V = \frac{1.90}{7860} = 2.42* 10^{-4} m^3$

Now when this iron block is complete submerged in oil inside the beaker the buoyancy force on the iron block will be given as

$F_b = \rho_L V g$

here we know that

$\rho_L$ = density of liquid = 916 kg/m^3

$F_b = 916* 2.42 * 10^{-4} * 9.8$

$F_b = 2.17 N$

Now for the reading of spring balance we can say the spring force and buoyancy force on the block will counter balance the weight of the block at equilibrium

$F_s + F_b = mg$

$F_s + 2.17 = 1.90* 9.8$

$F_s = 16.45 N$

So reading of spring balance will be 16.45 N

Now for other scale which will read the normal force of the surface we can write that normal force on the container will balance weight of liquid + container and buoyancy force on block

$F_n = F_g + F_b$

$F_n = (1 + 2.50)*9.8 + 2.17$

$F_n = 34.3 + 2.17 = 36.47 N$

So the other scale will read 36.47 N

When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

To analyze the motion of a body that is traveling along a curved path, to determine the body's acceleration, velocity, and posit

DiKsa [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the kinematic equations of linear motion and centripetal motion. For this purpose we will be guided by the definitions of centripetal acceleration to relate it to the tangential velocity. With these equations we will also relate the linear velocity for which we will find the points determined by the statement. Our values are given as

$R = 350ft$
