Answer:
The net force on the skater is zero. (
)
Explanation:
According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. ()
Answer:
Work done = 13605.44
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
For elongation of 2.1 cm (0.021 m) work done by the spring is 3.0 J
The relation between Energy (U) and the elongation (s) is given as:
U = 
................(1)
where,
k is the spring constant
on substituting the valeus in the above equation, we get
3.0 = 
or
k = 13605.44 N/m
now
for the elongation x = 2.1 + 4.1 = 6.2 cm = 0.062 m
using the equation 1, we have
U = 
or
U = 26.149 J
Also,
Work done = change in energy
or
W = 26.149 - 3.0 = 23.149 J
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:
102 kg.m/s
Explanation:
m = Mass of hammer = 12 kg
v = Final velocity = 8.5 m/s
u = Initial velocity = 0
t = Time taken = 8 ms
Force acting over a given amount of time or change in momentum is known as impulse.
Impulse
Impulse given to the nail is 102 kg.m/s
Answer:
No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)
Explanation:
Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.
The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.
