Answer:

Acceleration (a) is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity, and therefore acceleration is also a vector quantity. The SI unit of acceleration is metres/second2 (m/s2).

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

$V =\pi r^2 h$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048$

$V= 22.23\m^3$

$V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter$

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

$P=\dfrac{E}{V}$

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}$

$P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L$

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM

1) The mass of the continent is $2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg$

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 274.8 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 2.76 m/s

Explanation:

The continent is a slab of side 5900 km (so the surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth 26 km, therefore its volume is:

$V=(36)(4600)^2=7.62\cdot 10^8 km^3 = 7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3$

The mass of the continent is given by

$m=\rho V$

where:

$\rho = 2790 kg/m^3$ is its density

$V=7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3$ is its volume

Substituting, we find the mass:

$m=(2790)(7.62\cdot 10^{17})=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg$

To find the kinetic energy, we need to convert the speed of the continent into m/s first.

The speed is

v = 1.6 cm/year

And we have:

1.6 cm = 0.016 m

$1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s$

So, the speed is

$v=\frac{0.016 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s$

Now we can find the kinetic energy of the continent, which is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

$m=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg$ is the mass

$v=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s$ is the speed

Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.13\cdot 10^{21})(5.08\cdot 10^{-10})^2=274.8 J$

The jogger in this part has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 274.8 J

And its mass is

m = 72 kg

We can write his kinetic energy as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the man

And solving the equation for v, we find his speed:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(274.8)}{72}}=2.76 m/s$
