Answers

Answer 1

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

During a heat wave, there is an increased demand for electricity to operate air conditioners. The basic design of a nuclear reactor that generates electricity is shown below. What is the best way for the power plant manager to modify the reactor to meet the demand for electricity?

a)lower the control rods, which will absorb more neutrons before they can split atoms

b)raise the control rods so that fewer neutrons are absorbed and more can split uranium atoms

c)remove some of the fuel rods, which will leave more room for additional neutrons to split atoms

d)add additional fuel rods to generate additional neutrons to split uranium atoms

Answer:

b)raise the control rods so that fewer neutrons are absorbed and more can split uranium atoms

Explanation:

A nuclear reactor uses a nuclear fuel to generate electricity. The nuclear reactor makes use of a fissile isotope such as Uranium-235 as nuclear fuel which is bombarded by neutrons and causes a nuclear fission to occur leading to a consequent initiation of a chain reaction.

Control rods are used to absorb some of the neutrons and keep the reaction under control.

When there is need to increase power generation, the control rods are raised so that less neutrons are absorbed by them and more of the uranium fuel is split.

Describe the role that weathering and erosion play in the rock cycle.

Answers

Answer:

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

You drive a car for 2.0 h at 60 km/h, then for another 3.0 h at 85 km/h. What is your average velocity

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:

[tex]v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}[/tex]

If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

what happens to the mechanical energy of an apple as it falls from a tree?

Answers

Answer:

When the apple falls from the tree, it has some gravitational potential energy due to its height. Now, When it starts falling, the Gravitation Potential energy will starts converting into the Kinetic Energy. When the apple is about to strikes the ground, the Gravitational Potential energy have been converted into the Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be low when its kinetic energy is high and vice versa. But the mechanical energy remains conserved.

What is mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy can be explained as the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy that can be used to do work. Mechanical energy can be described as the energy of a body due to its motion or position.

The total mechanical energy of a physical system is conserved as the energy can not be created or destroyed. The mechanical energy of a physical system can only be transformed from one form to another when the forces acting work are conservative in nature.

Each force is related to potential energy form and the energy changes between different kinds of potential energy and kinetic energy but the total energy remains constant.

The mechanical energy of the apple remains conserved. As the apple falls its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Answers

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of sound, v = 330 m/s

The frequency of the note of the instrument, f = 1320 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the sound wave.

We know that,

Wavelength, [tex]\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{330}{1320}\\\\\lambda=0.25\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 0.25 m.

An 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile in 2010 killed more than 700 people. On January 12, 2010, a less powerful earthquake, measuring 7.0, killed more than 200,000 in Haiti. Why do you think this happened?

Answers

Answer:

The main reason for this is the engineering and technology driven building construction in Chile than in Haiti

Explanation:

The main reason for this is the engineering and technology driven building construction in Chile than in Haiti. Most of the buildings in Haiti do not fit in the building byelaws norms as most of them were constructed in a short period of time with less engineering and at cheaper rate. While building in Chile were built adhering to the building codes and byelaws.

The base of the building is Chile were separated from each other using the “base isolation” technology and the were also more flexible as compared to the buildings in Haiti.  

The skyscrapers in Chile were constructed in a way that they can float on the arrangements of ball bearings and padded cylinders

What is Archimedes principal ?

Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

F(b) = rho*g*V

F(b) = buoyant force

rho = fluid density

g = acceleration due to gravity

V = fluid volume

given

density of raft = 373 kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex]

volume of raft = 1.43 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

since, density  = mass / volume

mass of raft = density * volume

                    = 373 * 1.43 = 533.3 kg

using Archimedes principal

Force = density of liquid * volume of liquid displaced * acceleration due to                gravity

  mg        = 1000 * V * 9.8

  533.3 * 9.8 = 1000 * V * 9.8

  V = 0.5333 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]
