Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive
Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. <em>The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B</em><em> </em><em>and C are incorrect.</em>
The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.
Answer:
lithium
Explanation:
A lithium atom contains 3 protons in its nucleus irrespective of the number of neutrons or electrons. Notice that because the lithium atom always has 3 protons, the atomic number for lithium is always 3. The mass number, however, is 6 in the isotope with 3 neutrons, and 7 in the isotope with 4 neutrons.
Answer:
circuit breaker
Explanation:
A circuit breaker is a device used for electrical safety. It consists of a switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage that may result from heating due to overload in the circuit.
Its basic function is to interrupt current flow through its switch that consists of metal stripe which bends when it gets hot.
Fuse has similar action with circuit breaker, the only difference is that fuse can only be used once because it melts when it gets hot.
Therefore, the correct answer is "circuit breaker"
Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86
Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.
So, we have
MA = load/effort
= 240N/129N
= 1.86.
Answer:
(i) W = 8.918 N
(ii) 
(iii) d = 9.1 cm
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that weight of cube is given as
here we know that
now the mass of the ice cube is given as
now weight is given as
Part b)
Weight of the liquid displaced must be equal to weight of the ice cube
Because as we know that force of buoyancy = weight of the of the liquid displaced
So here volume displaced is given as
Part c)
Let the cube is submerged by distance "d" inside water
So here displaced water weight is given as
so it is submerged by d = 9.1 cm inside water
