Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Nuclear energy refers to energy trapped in the nucleus of atoms. Nuclear energy holds the greatest promise for large scale electricity generation. For instance, the amount of energy released by a given mass of uranium is 2.5 million times the energy released by combustion of an equal mass of carbon.One gram of uranium produces the same energy as 1 ton of coal, 17000 cubic feet of natural gas, 5000 pounds of wood and 149 gallons of oil.

Nuclear energy does not pollute the atmosphere as fossil fuels do. However, the challenges of effective control of the nuclear reactor and disposal of radioactive waste still remain a serious concern.

However, exploitation of nuclear energy as a source of electricity remain expensive and it is not quite easy to set up a nuclear power plant. Not many countries can afford to pay for the services of experts who operate nuclear energy plants talk more of providing the required equipment.

A uniform meter rule with a mass of 200g is suspended at zero mark pivotes at 22.0cm mark. calculate the mass of the rule.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The mass of the rule is 56.41 g  

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object suspended at zero mark, m₁ = 200 g

pivot of the uniform meter rule = 22 cm

Total length of meter rule = 100 cm

0                          22cm                                  100cm

-------------------------Δ------------------------------------

↓                                                                       ↓

200g                                                                 m₂  

Apply principle of moment

(200 g)(22 cm - 0)     = m₂(100 cm - 22 cm)

(200 g)(22 cm) = m₂(78 cm)

m₂ =  (200 g)(22 cm)  / (78 cm)

m₂ = 56.41 g  

Therefore,  the mass of the rule is 56.41 g

Question 9(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Conduction

Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules. At the place where the two object touch, the faster-moving molecules of the warmer object collide with the slower moving molecules of the cooler object.

what is the potential difference across the headlight bulbs when the starter motor is operated, requiring an additional 39 a fro
frosja888 [35]

The starter motor's potential difference across the headlight bulbs is 38.45V, requiring an additional 39 a from the battery. Voltage, also known as potential difference.

It is sometimes described as the amount of work needed to move a test charge between two sites, expressed as a unit of charge. Volt is the potential difference's SI unit (V). We only take into account the charge between the locations P and Q when current moves between them in an electric circuit. Electric potential difference between two sites is referred to as voltage, also known as electric pressure, electric tension, or (electric) potential difference. an electric field that is static.

Vh = I*Rn

Vh = 39/5.476*5.40v

Vh = 38.45v
