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:
E means energy
M= Mass
C=speed of light squared (the exponent means squared)
Answer:
A) 0.660 g/ml
B) 1.297 ml
C) 0.272 g
Explanation:
Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes. This is where density
appears as a physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass
of a body or substance and the volume
it occupies:

Answer:
This can be translated to:
"find the electrical charge of a body that has 1 million of particles".
First, it will depend on the charge of the particles.
If all the particles have 1 electron more than protons, we will have that the charge of each particle is q = -e = -1.6*10^-19 C
Then the total charge of the body will be:
Q = 1,000,000*-1.6*10^-19 C = -1.6*10^-13 C
If we have the inverse case, where we in each particle we have one more proton than the number of electrons, the total charge will be the opposite of the one of before (because the charge of a proton is equal in magnitude but different in sign than the charge of an electron)
Q = 1.6*10^-13 C
But commonly, we will have a spectrum with the particles, where some of them have a positive charge and some of them will have a negative charge, so we will have a probability of charge that is peaked at Q = 0, this means that, in average, the charge of the particles is canceled by the interaction between them.
