Explanation:
We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.
=
= 1164000 J
or, = 1164 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.
=
=
= -873000 J
or, = -873 kJ
Thus, we can conclude that change in gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235.
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.
Answer:
10 N
Explanation:
F = ma = m(Δv/t) = 5.0(10.0 - 0)/5.0 = 10 N
