Nuclear power plants produce energy using:________

a. nuclear fission.
b. nuclear fusion.
c. combustion.
d. critical mass.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a. nuclear fission.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants use heavy materials, like uranium 238, which is bombarded with neutrons. When the neutrons interact with the uranium, there is fission (a division of one atom into smaller ones and other subatomic particles), and in this process, more neutrons are produced. These new neutrons may impact other atoms of uranium and continue with this cycle, generating heat in the process.

Then we can conclude that nuclear power plants produce energy using nuclear fission.

Answer:

The surface charge density on planes A and B respectively is

     [tex]\sigma__{A}} } = 2\sigma[/tex]

and

     [tex]\sigma__{B}} = \sigma[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  electric field in region to the left of  A  is  [tex]E_i = \frac{3 \sigma}{2 \epsilon_o}[/tex]

      The  direction of the electric field is  left

      The  electric field in the region to the right of  B  is  [tex]E_f = \frac{3 \sigma}{2 \epsilon_o}[/tex]

      The  direction of the electric field is  right

      The  electric field in the region between the two planes is  [tex]E_m = \frac{\sigma }{2 \epsilon_o }[/tex]

       The  direction of the electric field is  right

Let the surface charge density on planes A and B be represented as [tex]\sigma__{A}} \ \ and \ \ \sigma__{B}} \ \ \ respectively[/tex]

 From the question we see that

         [tex]E_i = E_f[/tex]

Generally the electric to the right and to the left is due to the combined electric field generated by  plane  A and  B  so

         [tex]E_i = E_f = \frac{3\sigma }{2\epsilon} = \frac{\sigma_A }{ 2 \epsilon_o } + \frac{\sigma_B }{ 2 \epsilon_o }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma__{A}} + \sigma__{B}} = 3 \sigma -- -(1)[/tex]

Generally the electric field at the middle of the plane A and  B  is due to the diffencence in electric field generated by plane A and  B      

i.e

          [tex]\frac{\sigma }{2 \epsilon_o } = \frac{\sigma_A }{ 2 \epsilon_o } - \frac{\sigma_B }{ 2 \epsilon_o }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma__{A}} - \sigma__{B}} = \sigma[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma__{A}} } = \sigma + \sigma__{B}[/tex]

From equation 1

        [tex]\sigma + \sigma__{B}}+ \sigma__{B}} = 3 \sigma[/tex]

=>    [tex]\sigma__{B}} = \sigma[/tex]

So

      [tex]\sigma__{A}} } = \sigma + \sigma[/tex]

=>   [tex]\sigma__{A}} } = 2\sigma[/tex]

An insulating rod is bent into the shape of a quarter-circle having total charge Q distributed uniformly over its length. At the origin, the magnitude of the total electric field due to this charge configuration is E0 and the potential is V0. A second insulating rod is added to the fourth quadrant to complete a semi-circle. This second quarter-circle has charge -Q uniformly distributed. In terms of E0 and V0, determine the total electric field vector and the total potential at the origin due to the semi-circle of charge.

Answers

Answer:

E = - 2*E₀*sinθ*i

V = V = 2*E₀*sinθ /r

Explanation:

First situation: a quarter-circle rod produces at the origin

E₀      and  V₀

We know that    E  =  K *  Q/r      and

E  =  E₀           Q = L*λ           Q = 1/4 * 2*π*r*λ       Q = (1/2)*π*r*λ

where:

r is the radius of the circle which at the same time is the distance between the rod quarter of the circle and the origin.

λ is the longitudinal density of charge, and

k = 1/4*π*ε₀

Then    E₀ =  (1/2)* k*π*λ        and   V₀  = - E₀/Q         V₀  = - E₀/r

E₀  =  E₀ₓ  +  E₀y      E₀ₓ  = E₀*cosθ    E₀y = - E₀*sinθ  

θ the angle between E₀  and the x-axis

Second situation half of a circle ( first quarter +Q and fourth -Q )

In that configuration, the components in the x-axis cancel each other ( by symmetry) and the y-axis components of +Q  and -Q  are to be added then

E = Eₓ   +  Ey     but by inspection we find Eₓ  = 0 ( the components of the        

the electric field produced of the two quarters canceled each other)

and we have to add the two identical y-axis components of the two quarters therefore

E = 2*E₀y

each component of   E₀y = - E₀*sinθ    

Then the new electric field becomes

E = - 2*E₀*sinθ*i

The new V  = - (- 2*E₀*sinθ /r)

V = 2*E₀*sinθ /r

(Note remember that V is a scalar )

Answers

Complete Question

the maximum force a pilot can stand is about seven times his weight. what is the minimum radius of curvature that a jet plane's pilot, pulling out of a vertical dive, can tolerate at a speed of 250m/s?

Answer:

The value is    [tex]r = \frac{250^2 }{6 * 9.8 }[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The  weight of the pilot is   [tex]W = mg[/tex]

 The maximum force a pilot can withstand is  [tex]F_{max} = 7 W = 7 (mg)[/tex]

 The speed is  [tex]v = 250 \ m/s[/tex]  

Generally the centripetal force acting on the pilot is equal to the net force acting on the pilot i.e

      [tex]F_c = F_{max} - mg[/tex]

Here N  is the normal force acting on the pilot

Now

      [tex]F_c = \frac{m v^2 }{r}[/tex]

So

      [tex]\frac{m v^2 }{r} = 7(mg) - mg[/tex]  

=>  [tex]r = \frac{v^2 }{6g}[/tex]

=>  [tex]r = \frac{250^2 }{6 * 9.8 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]r = 1063 \ m[/tex]

A football quarterback throws a football for a long pass. While in the motion of throwing, the quarterback moves the ball , starting from rest, and completes the motion in . Assuming the acceleration is constant, what force does the quarterback apply to the ball during the pass

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A football quarterback throws a 0.408 kg football for a long pass. While in the motion of throwing, the quarterback moves the ball 1.909 m, starting from rest, and completes the motion in 0.439 s. Assuming the acceleration is constant, what force does the quarterback apply to the ball during the pass ;

a) F_throw = 8.083 N

b) F_throw = 9.181 N

c) F_throw = 2.284 N

d) F_throw = 16.014 N

e) None of these is correct

Answer:

the quarterback applied a force of 8.083 N to the ball during the pass

so Option a) F_throw = 8.083 N is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 0.408 kg

d = 1.909 m

u = 0 { from rest}

t = 0.439 s

Now using Kinetic equation

d = ut + 1/2 at²

we substitute

1.909 = (0 × 0.439) + 1/2 a(0.439)²

1.909 = 0 + 0.09636a

1.909 = 0.09636a

a = 1.909 / 0.09636

a = 19.8111 m/s²

Now force applied will be;

F = ma

we substitute

F = 0.408 ×  19.8111

F = 8.0828 ≈ 8.083 N

Therefore the quarterback applied a force of 8.083 N to the ball during the pass

so Option a) F_throw = 8.083 N is the correct answer

You want to move a spacecraft that is in 300 km circular orbit around Venus into another circular orbit around Venus of 600 km. Explain how you would accomplish this. Solve for the velocities that need to be applied.

Answer:

The final velocity will be half of the initial velocity of the spacecraft.

Explanation:

Angular momentum is conserved for the circular force motion and central force motion.

Considering

L = MVR = Constant

Where

M = Mass of the object

V = Velocity of the object

r = radius of circle

We know that

V = [tex]\frac{1}{R}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }[/tex]

As per the given data

[tex]R_{1}[/tex] = Initial Radius = 300 km

[tex]R_{2}[/tex] = Final Radius = 600 km

[tex]V_{1}[/tex] = Initial Velocity =

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = Final Velocity =

Placing values in the formula

[tex]\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{300 km}{600 km }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]{V_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2} V_{1}[/tex]

Hence, The final velocity will half of the initial velocity of the spacecraft.

A television camera is positioned 4 km from the base of a rocket launching pad. In order to keep the rocket in focus as it takes off, the camera must be programmed with the distance to the rocket and how that distance is changing. If we assume that the rocket rises vertically at a speed of 200 km/hr, how fast is the distance from the camera to the rocket changing when the rocket has risen 3 km

Answers

Answer:

120 km/hr

Explanation:

Let D be the distance between the rocket and the camera as the rocket is moving upwards. Let d be the distance the rocket moves and L be the distance between the camera and the base of the rocket = 4 km.

Now, at any instant, D² = d² + L²

= d² + 4²

= d² + 16 since the three distances form a right-angled triangle with the distance between the rocket and the camera as the rocket is moving upwards as the hypotenuse side.

differentiating the expression to find the rate of change of D with respect to time, dD/dt ,we have

d(D²)/dt = d(d² + 16)/dt

2DdD/dt = 2d[d(d)/dt]

dD/dt = 2d[d(d)/dt] ÷ 2D

Now d(d)/dt = vertical speed of rocket = 200 km/hr

dD/dt = 200d/D  [D = √(d² + 16)]

dD/dt = 200d/[√d² + 16]

Now substituting d = 3 km, the distance the rocket has risen into the equation, we have

dD/dt = 200(3)/[√(3² + 16)]

dD/dt = 600/[√(9 + 16)]

dD/dt = 600/√25

dD/dt = 600/5

dD/dt = 120 km/hr

So,  the speed at which the distance from the camera to the rocket changing when the rocket has risen 3 km is 120 km/hr.

A ball is thrown horizontally at 30 m/s from a height of 45m. How long is it in the air?
(i) How fast is it moving horizontally when it hits the ground?

Answers

Answer:

1.25s

1) 90.9m

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the following;

Speed v = 30m/s

Maximum height H = 45m

Required;

Time

Using the equation of motion S = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute;

45= 30t + 1/2(9.8)t²

45 = 30t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 30t - 45 = 0

Factorize;

t = -30 ±√30²-4(-45)(4.9)/2(4.9)

t = -30 ±√900+882/9.8

t = -30 ±42.21/9.8

t = -30 + 42.21/9.8

t = 12.21/9.8

t = 1.25secs

Hence the ball spent 1.25secs in air.

i) To get the horizontal distance, we will use the formula;

R = U√2H/g

R = 30√2(45)/9.8

R = 30√90/9.8

R = 30√9.18

R = 30(3.03)

R = 90.9m

Hence the horizontal distance is 90.9m

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that a 52.0-kg woman wearing high-heeled shoes is invited into a home in which the kitchen has vinyl floor covering. The heel on each shoe is circular and has a radius of 0.600 cm. If the woman balances on one heel, what pressure does she exert on the floor?

Let's first calculate the area covered by the heel shoe by using the area of a circle.

Convert cm to m

0.6 / 100 = 0.006

A = πr^2

A = 22/7 × 0.006^2

A = 1.131 × 10^-4 m^2

The force exerted by the woman = mg

Force exerted = 52 × 9.8

Force exerted = 509.6 N

Pressure = force / Area

Pressure = 509.6 / 1.131 × 10^-4

Pressure = 4505853.3 N/m

Therefore, she exerts pressure of 4.5 × 10^6 Nm approximately on the floor.
