What do you know about nuclear energy?​

Physics

aev [14]2 years ago

Answer:

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity. Ninety-three nuclear reactors in 28 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.

A circular disc of mass 20kg and radius 15cm is mounted in an horizontal cylindrical axle of radius
disa [49]

Using the concepts of energy, rotational Newton's second law and rotational kinematics we can find the kinematic energy of the system formed by the disk and the cylindrical axis

          KE = 0.23 J

given parameters

  • Disk radius R = 15 cm = 0.15 m
  • Cylinder radius r = 1.5 cm = 0.0015 m
  • Disk mass M = 20 kg
  • Time t = 1.2 s
  • Force F = 12 N

to find

  • Kinetic energy (KE)

This exercise must be solved in parts:

1st part. Endowment kinetic energy is the energy due to the circular motion of an object and is described by the equation

         KE = ½ I w²

Where KE is the kinetic energy, I the moment of inertia and w the angular velocity

The moment of inertia is a magnitude that measures the inertia for rotational movement, it is a scalar quantity, therefore it is additive. In this system it is composed of two bodies, the disk and the cylindrical axis, for which the total moment of inertia it is

         I_{ total} = I_{ disk} + I_{ cylinder}

the moments of inertia with respect to an axis passing through the center of mass are tabulated

disk          I_{disk} = ½ M R²

cylinder   I_{cylinder} = ½ m r²

where M and m are the masses of the disk and cylinder respectively, R and r their radii

         I_{total} = ½ (M R² + m r²) = ½ M R² ( 1 + \frac{m}{M} \ (\frac{r}{R})^2 )

         I_{total} = ½ M R² ( 1+ \frac{m}{20}  (\frac{0.015}{0.15} )^2 ) = \frac{1}{2} M R² (1 + 0.005 m)

As the shaft mass  is much lighter than the disk mass , the last term is very small, which is why we despise it.

         I_{total} = ½ M R²

2nd part. Let's use Newton's second law for endowment motion

        τ = I α

        α = \frac{\tau }{I_{total}}l

        τ = F R

        α = \frac{F \ R}{I_{total}}

With the rotational kinematics expressions, we assume that the system starts from rest (w₀ = 0)

        w = w₀ + α  t

where w is the angular velocity, alpha is the angular acceleration and t is the time

        w = 0 + \frac{\tau }{I_{total}} \ t

we substitute in the kinetic energy equation

        KE = ½ I_{total}  ( \frac{ \tau }{I_{total}} \ t )²

        KE = ½ \frac{ \tau^2 }{I_{total}} \ t^2

let's substitute

        KE = \frac{F^2 \ R^4}{M \ R^2 } \ t^2

        KE = F² R² t² / M

let's calculate

        KE = 12² 0.15² 1.2² / 20

        KE = 0.23 J

With the concepts of energy and rotational kinematics we can find the kinetic energy of the system is

       KE = 0.23 j

Ángel is riding his bike 15m/h south a) speed b) velocity c) acceleration​
mixer [17]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

Speed does not have a direction, Acceleration means that it is speeding up and not at a constant 15m/h, so the answer is B.

What do you mean by velocity ratio of a wheel and axle​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…

Select the statement that correctly lists the forces from strongest to weakest. (2 points)
Vilka [71]

Strong Nuclear force: it is the short range force and strongest fundamental force in all type of forces.

Electromagnetism: this is the force due to magnetic and electric behavior of the particles. It is moderate type of force and its range is more than Nuclear force.

Weak Nuclear Force: This force is also short range force which act between the nucleoside. But this force is also moderate type of force

Gravitational force: this force is between two point masses and least order of force. also the range of this force is upto infinite.

so the correct order of this fundamental force is

<em>strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, gravitational</em>
