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.

The distance between two planets is 1600 km. How much time would the light
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

5.33*10^-3 seconds

Explanation:

c = d/t

c = speed of light constant (3.0*10^5 km/s)

d = distance (1600 km)

t = ?

3.0*10^5 = 1600/t

t = 1600/3.0*10^5

t = 5.33*10^-3 seconds

I hope this helped! :)

Two long, parallel wires each carry the same current I, but the two currents are anti-parallel. The two wires are a distance r a
Georgia [21]

Answer:

8 x 10⁻⁷ x  I / r

Explanation:

Two parallel long wires are carrying current I . Let the direction be towards the right in the farthest and towards the left in the nearest. Magnetic field due to current I  at a  distance d is given by the expression

B = μ₀ 2 I / 4π d

I the present case distance d = r/2  

Magnetic field due to one wire at point d = r/2  is

B₁ = μ₀ 2 I / (4π r / 2 )

= 10⁻⁷ x 4I / r

Magnetic field due to the other wire at point d = r/2  is

B₂ = μ₀ 2 I / (4π r / 2 )

= 10⁻⁷ x 4I / r

Direction of magnetic field due to both the wires at the mid  point P will be same . It will be in downward direction in the given scenario

So total magnetic field

B = B₁ + B₂

= 2 x  10⁻⁷ x 4I / r

= 8 x 10⁻⁷ x  I / r
