Answer:

Nuclear reactors are the heart of a nuclear power plant. They contain and control nuclear chain reactions that produce heat through a physical process called fission. That heat is used to make steam that spins a turbine to create electricity.

Which term refers to the energy that is stored or released during a change of state of water
Dima020 [189]
The appropriate term is latent heat. This energy is released as the water changes state from a gas to liquid....a liquid to solid etc. the latent heat is either absorbed or given off by the water as it changes its physical state. Latent heat of fusion is associated with freezing a liquid or melting a solid.

A potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.20 rev/s in 23.8 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.053 rad/s^2

Explanation:

0.2 rev/s = 0.2 rev/s * 2π rad/rev = 0.4π rad/s

Since the angular acceleration is assumed to be constant, and the wheel's angular speed is increasing from rest (0 rad/s) to 0.4π rad/s within 23.8s. Then the angular acceleration must be

\alpha = \Delta \omega / \Delta t = \frac{0.4 \pi - 0}{23.8} = 0.053 rad/s^2

Explain a lever and a pivot in a full sentence​
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a fulcrum attached to a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or a pivot. As the lever rotates around the fulcrum, points farther from this pivot move faster than points closer to the pivot.

Currents during lightning strikes can be up to 50000 A (or more!). We can model such a strike as a 47500 A vertical current perp
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field

B = 12 X 10⁻⁴ T

= Bil where B is magnetic field , i is current and l is length of conductor

force required = 12 x10⁻⁴ x 47500 x 1

= 57 N
