Answer:

C. The thermal energy released can cause the products to split.

Explanation:

Because this is fission its bleeding off the atom.

A neutron begins the reaction and more neutrons are formed in it  ( D )

When a nuclear fission is started it will continue to occur on its own because Nuclear fission is a form of reaction that starts with the splitting of the neutron of an atom into smaller nuclei which will continue to split into much smaller nuclei infinitely ( i.e. Chain reaction )

Hence we can say that once a Nuclear fission is started it can continue to occur on its own because A neutron begins the reaction and more neutrons are formed in it  ( i.e. chain reaction )

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

fo = 378.52Hz

Explanation:

Using Doppler effect formula:

f'=\frac{C-Vb}{C-Va}*fo

where

f' = 392 Hz

C = 340m/s

Vb = 20m/s

Va = 31m/s

Replacing these values and solving for fo:

fo = 378.52Hz

A bimetallic strip (brass/steel), which is straight at room temperature, will be immersed in boiling water and allowed to equili
lakkis [162]

The thermal expansion of the materials allows to find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is Δy = 3.48 cm

given paramers

    * Bimetallic brass / steel tape

    * Initial temperature, room temperature T = 20ºC

    * Final temperature, boiling water  = 100ºC

    * initial length L₀ = 222mm (1cm / 10mm) = 22.2cm

    * thickness of bimetallic tape e = 0.036 inch (2.54 cm/1 inch) = 0.0914 cm

to find

    * perpendicular deviation or deflection (Δy)

Thermal expansion is the phenomenon of change in the length of a body due to the change in temperature, due to the increase in the length of the atomic and molecular bonds, macroscopically it is described by

        ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

ΔL and ΔT are the variation of the length and temperature respectively, L₀ is the initial length and α the coefficient of expansion ends.

In this case we have a strip formed by two materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion,

Brass       α_{brass}   = 19 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

Steel       α_{steel}    = 11 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

In the attached we can see a diagram of the process, as the temperature increases, the material with greater thermal expansion lengthens more, so the system must curve towards the center of the material with less

thermal expansion. Let's find the length of the strip for each material

brass          L_{f brass} - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT

Steel           L_{f steel} - L₀ = \alpha_{steel} L₀ ΔT

Note that the initial length is the same for the two materials and that the strip is in thermal equilibrium at room temperature.

If we assume that we have an arc of circumference, we can write the length of the arc

        θ = L / r

where θ is the angle in radines, L the length of the arc and r the radius of curvature, let's write this equation for each material

brass     L_{f \ brass} =θ r₁

steel      L_{f \ steel} = θ r₂

we substitute in our equations

           θ r₁ - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT

           θ r₂ - L₀ = α_{steel} L₀ ΔT

let's subtract the two equations

           θ (r₁- r₂) = L₀ ΔT (α_{brass} - α_{steel})

the thickness of the strip is

           e = r₁ -r₂

           θ = Lo \ \Delta T \ \frac{\alpha_{brass} - \alpha_{steel}}{e}

we calculate

           θ = 22.2 \ (100-20) \ \frac{(19-11) \ 10^{-6}}{0.0914}

           θ = 0.155 rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the perpendicular deflection

          tan θ = Δy / L₀

          Δy = L₀ tan θ

          Δy = 22.2 tan 0.155

          Δy = 3.48 cm

Using the thematic expansion of the two materials we find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is 3.38 cm

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

C. -0.6

Explanation:

Line is passing through the points ( - 3, 1) & (2, - 2)

Slope of line

=  \frac{ - 2 - 1}{2 - ( - 3)}  =  \frac{ - 3}{2 + 3}  =  \frac{ - 3}{5}  =  - 0.6 \\

A block of mass 0.510 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. T
maria [59]

Answer:

x=0.46m, speed=7.9m/s

Explanation:

Using the concept of conservation of energy:

1. kinetic energy of mass m and velocity v: E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

2. gravitational potential energy of mass m, grav. acc. g and height h: E_g=mgh

3. potential energy in a spring with spring constant k and displacement from equilibrium x: E_s=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Calculating x:

\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

x=\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}v_a

Calculating the speed:

\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2 +mgh_a=\frac{1}{2}mv_b^2+mgh_b + W_{friction}

h_a=0, h_b=2R,W_{friction}=F_{friction}\times distance=7\pi R

\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_b^2+2mgR+7\pi R

Solving for v_b:

v_b=\sqrt{v_a^2-4gR-14\pi\frac{R}{m}}
