What physical properties dose plutonium

Physics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 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.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of (16.6 m/s)x^. ignoring air resistance, the average acceleration of
Andrei [34K]

Solution:

According to the equations for 1-D kinematics. The only change to them is that instead one equation that describes general motion.

So we will have to use the equations twice: once for motion in the x direction and another time for the y direction.  

v_f=v_o + at ……..(a)

 [where v_f and v_o are final velocity and initial velocity, respectively]

Now ,

Initially, there was y velocity, however gravity began to act on the football, causing it to accelerate.  

Applying this value in equation (a)  

v_yf = at = -9.81 m/s^s * 1.75 = -17.165 m/s in the y direction  

For calculating the magnitude of the equation we have to square root the given value

         (16.6i - 17.165y)  

\\ \left | V  \right |=sqrt{16.6^{2}+17.165^{2}}\\ = \sqrt{275.56+294.637225}\\= \sqrt{570.197225}\\= 23.87[/tex]

Calculate the time period of simple pendulum whose length is 98.2cm
alekssr [168]

The time period resulting in oscillations will be 1.986 seconds.

<h3>What is the period of oscillation?</h3>

The period is the amount of time it takes for a particle to perform one full oscillation. T is the symbol for it. Taking the reciprocal of the frequency yields the frequency of the oscillation.

The time period of the oscillation is;

\rm T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\\\ \rm T = 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt{ \frac{98.2 \  \times 10^{-2} \ m}{9.81 \ m/s^2}} \\\\ T= 1.986 \ sec

Hence the time period resulting oscillations will be 1.986 seconds.

To learn more about the time period of oscillation refer to the link;

The thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space is called
Olenka [21]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer occurs:

   1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the <u>direct contact</u>.

  2. By Convection, heat transfer <u>in fluids </u>(like water or the air, for example).  

   3. By Radiation, by the <u>electromagnetic waves</u> (they can travel through any medium and in <u>vacumm</u>)

So, in the outter space is vacuum, this means the energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium, and this is called radiation.

According to Archimedes' Principle, what condition has to be met for an object to float?you will get branliest
MissTica

Explanation:

The buoyant force must be greater to float, otherwise it would sink, its like a barrel in water, the more water weight in it the more it sinks, the more air weight the more it rises.
