Nuclear power plants produce energy using:________

Physics
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: a. nuclear fission.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants use heavy materials, like uranium 238, which is bombarded with neutrons. When the neutrons interact with the uranium, there is fission (a division of one atom into smaller ones and other subatomic particles), and in this process, more neutrons are produced. These new neutrons may impact other atoms of uranium and continue with this cycle, generating heat in the process.

Then we can conclude that nuclear power plants produce energy using nuclear fission.

a girl that has a mass of 55kg is standing on a floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?
KengaRu [80]
A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:

F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3.88 * 10^(-15) J

Explanation:

We know that the Potential energy of the electron at the beginning of its motion is equal to the Kinetic energy at the end of its motion, when it reaches the plates.

First, we get the potential and potential energy:

Electric potential = E * r

E = electric field

r = distance between plates

Potential = 2.2 * 10^6 * 0.011

= 2.42 * 10^4 V

The relationship between electric potential and potential energy is:

P. E. = q*V

q = charge of electron = 1.602 * 10^(-19) C

P. E. = 2.42 * 10^4 * 1.602 * 10^(-19)

P. E. = 3.88 * 10^(-15) J
