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.

As Jack pulls his wagon down the street it moves faster and faster. Jill, sitting a few meters ahead on the sidewalk, wants to slow Jack's wagon down so that it travels with a constant speed. How can Jill accomplish her goal? A) Push the wagon with a force greater than Jack. B) Push Jack away from the wagon so that he is no longer pulling it. C) Pull on the wagon in the opposite direction with twice Jack's force. D) Push the wagon in the opposite direction at a constant force less than Jack.
Answer:
The correct answer is NONE the two forces must be equal and of opposite direction, the closest answer is D
Explanation:
In this exercise it is indicated that Jack pushes a car, it is desired that Jill pushes the car so that the speed is constant
take as positive the direction of Jack's thrust
F_jack - F_jill = 0
F_jill = F_jack
therefore the push of the two must be equal and Jill's push must have the opposite direction to Jack's push.
The correct answer is NONE the two forces must be equal and of opposite direction, the closest answer is D

Un engrane que gira con una velocidad de 20 rad/s, es acelerado durante 5 segundos hasta alcanzar una velocidad de 35 rad/s
a) ¿Cuál es la magnitud de su aceleración angular?
b) ¿Cuántos radianes gira en ese tiempo?
c) ¿Cuántas revoluciones alcanza a girar en ese tiempo?
no m ignoren
Answer:
a) La aceleración angular es: [tex]\alpha=2\: rad/s^{2}[/tex]
b) El engranaje gira 125 radianes.
c) El engranaje hara aproximadamente 20 revoluciones.
Explanation:
a)
La aceleración angular se define como:
[tex]\alpha=\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}[/tex]
Donde:
Δω es la diferencia de velocidad angular (en otras palabras ω(final)-ω(inicial))Δt es el tiempo en el que occure el cambio de velocidad angular[tex]\alpha=\frac{35-25}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\alpha=2\: rad/s^{2}[/tex]
b)
El desplazamiento angular puede ser calculado usando la siguiente ecuación:
[tex]\theta=\theta_{i}+\omega_{i}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}[/tex]
Aqui el angulo inicial es 0, por lo tanto.
[tex]\theta=20(5)+\frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=125\: rad[/tex]
El engranaje gira 125 radianes.
c)
Lo que debemos hacer aquí es convertir radianes a revoluciones.
Recordemos que 2π rad = 1 rev
Entonces:
[tex]\theta=125\: rad \times \frac{1\: rev}{2\pi\: rad}=19.89\: rev[/tex]
Por lo tanto el engranaje hara aproximadamente 20 revoluciones.

If a ball is lifted 2 meters off the ground and 5 Newtons of force were needed to move it,
what amount of work has been done? :3
Answer:
W = 98 J
Explanation:
Given hat,
Force, F = 5 N
It is lifted 2 m off the ground.
We need to find the amount of work done. We know that, the work done by an object is given by the product of force and displacement. So,
W = Fd

Explanation:
a particle is projected from a point a with a velocity of 21m/s at an angle of 53.1 degees to the horizontal. one second later another particle is projected at a point 0.3m below a with initial velocity of 31.5m/s at an angle of 36.9 degrees to the horizontal.
(i) prove that the particles collide
(ii) find the time of collision
(iii) find the distance of collision from point of projection
Answer:
(i) Please see graph of the motion of the particles created with MS Excel and the calculations in the following sections
(ii) The time of collision is approximately 1.0 seconds
(iii) The common horizontal distance of point collision from the point of projection is approximately 25.2 meters
Explanation:
The velocity with which the first projectile was fired, v₁ = 21 m/s
The angle to the horizontal the particle is launched = 53.1°
The time at which the other particle was launched = 1 second later
The location from which the other particle was projected = 0.3 m below the first particle
The initial velocity of the second particle = 31.5 m/s
The angle to the horizontal at which the second particle was projected, θ = 36.9°
(i) The height reached, by each of the particle is given as follows;
y = u·t - 1/2·g·t²
For the first projectile, we have;
y = 21·(t₁+1)×sin(53.1°) - 9.81·(t₁+1)²/2 + 0.3
For the second projectile, we have;
y= 31.5·(t₁)×sin(36.9°) - 4.905·(t₁)²
If the two projectiles collide, we get;
21·(t₁+1)×sin(53.1°) - 9.81·(t₁+1)²/2 + 0.3 = 31.5·(t₁)×sin(36.9°) - 4.905·(t₁)²
Using a graphing calculator for simplifying, we get;
-11.93·t₁ + 12.2 = 0
t₁ = 12.2/11.93 ≈ 1.02
Therefore, at time t₁ = 1.02 seconds, after the launch of the second particle, the two particle will be at the same vertical height
However, whereby at the time, t₂, the particles collide, the horizontal distance travelled, 'x', will be equal;
We have;
x = u·cos(θ)·t₁
For the first particle, we have;
x₁₁ = 21 × cos (53.1°) × (t₂ + 1)
For the second particle, we have;
x₂₂ = 31.5 × cos (36.9°) × t₂
At the point of collision, we have;
x₁ = x₂
∴ 21 × cos (53.1°) × (t₂ + 1) = 31.5 × cos (36.9°) × t₂
31.5 × cos (36.9°) × t₂ - 21 × cos (53.1°) × t₂ = 21 × cos (53.1°)
t₂ = 21 × cos (53.1°)/(31.5 × cos (36.9°) - 21 × cos (53.1°) ) = 1.00219236871
t₂ ≈ 1.0 seconds
Given that t₁ ≈ t₂, the particles reach the same height and the same horizontal distance at the same time, t₂ ≈ 1.0 and therefore, they collide.
(ii) The time of collision is found above as t₁ ≈ t₂ ≈ 1.0 seconds
(iii) The horizontal distance of the point of collision from the starting point, 'x', is given as follows;
x = 21 × cos (53.1°) × (1.0 + 1) ≈ 25.2
The horizontal distance of the point of collision from the starting point, x ≈ 25.2 meters
The vertical distance of the point of collision from the starting point of the second particle, 'y', is given as follows;
y = 21 × (1+1)×sin(53.1°) - 9.81 × (1+1)²/2 + 0.3 ≈ 14
The vertical distance of the point of collision from the starting point of the second particle, y ≈ 14 meters
The magnitude of the distance from the starting point of the second particle, r = √(25.2² + 14²) ≈ 28.8
The magnitude of the distance from the starting point of the second particle, r ≈ 28.4 meters.

If a balloon has 12 electrons on its surface but also 13 protons, what
is the net charge on the balloon?
Answer:
q = 1
Explanation:
Given that,
No. of electrons = -12
No. of protons = 13
We need to find the net charge on the balloon. We know that net charge is equal to the sum of proton and the electrons such that,
Net charge = No. of electrons + no. of protons
= -12 + 13
= 1
So, the net charge is equal to 1.

Answer:
42a. Ammeter 2 = 0.20 A
42b. Ammeter 3 = 0.20 A
42c. The current will remain the same i.e unchanged.
43. Equivalent resistance is 11780 Ω
46a. 11 V
46b. 7.5 V
46c. 18.5 V
47. 1.70 A
Explanation:
42a. Determination of ammeter 2
Ammeter 1 = 0.20 A
Ammeter 2 =?
Since the resistors are in series connection, the same current will pass through them. Thus, ammeter 2 will read 0.20 A.
Ammeter 2 = ammeter 1 = 0.20 A
42b. Determination of ammeter 3
Ammeter 1 = 0.20 A
Ammeter 3 =?
Since the resistors are in series connection, the same current will pass through them. Thus, ammeter 3 will read 0.20 A.
Ammeter 3 = ammeter 1 = 0.20 A
42c. Since the resistors are in series connection, the same current will pass through them. Therefore, the current will remain the same.
43. Determination of the equivalent resistance.
We'll begin by converting 1.1 KΩ and 10 KΩ to Ω. This can be obtained as follow:
1 KΩ = 1000 Ω
Therefore,
1.1 KΩ = 1.1 KΩ × 1000 Ω / 1 KΩ
1.1 KΩ = 1100 Ω
1 KΩ = 1000 Ω
Therefore,
10 KΩ = 10 KΩ × 1000 Ω / 1 KΩ
10 KΩ = 10000 Ω
Finally, we shall determine determine the equivalent. This can be obtained as follow:
Resistor 1 (R₁) = 680 Ω
Resistor 2 (R₂) = 1100 Ω
Resistor 3 (R₃) = 10000 Ω
Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?
Rₑq = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
Rₑq = 680 + 1100 + 10000
Rₑq = 11780 Ω
Thus, the equivalent resistance is 11780 Ω
46a. Determination of the voltage across 22 Ω
Current (I) = 0.50 A
Resistor (R₁) = 22 Ω
Voltage (V₁) =?
NOTE: the current is the same since the resistor are in series connection.
V₁ = IR₁
V₁ = 0.5 × 22
V₁ = 11 V
46b. Determination of the voltage across 15 Ω
Current (I) = 0.50 A
Resistor (R₂) = 15 Ω
Voltage (V₂) =?
NOTE: the current is the same since the resistor are in series connection.
V₂ = IR₂
V₂ = 0.5 × 15
V₂ = 7.5 V
46c. Determination of the voltage of the battery.
Voltage 1 (V₁) = 11 V
Voltage 2 (V₂) = 7.5 V
Battery voltage (V) =?
V = V₁ + V₂
V = 11 + 7.5
V = 18.5 V
47. Determination of the current.
We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance. This can be obtained as follow:
Resistor 1 (R₁) = 22 Ω
Resistor 2 (R₂) = 4.5 Ω
Equivalent Resistance (R) =?
R = R₁ + R₂
R = 22 + 4.5
R = 26.5 Ω
Finally, we shall determine the current.
Voltage (V) = 45 V
Resistance (R) = 26.5 Ω
Current (I) =?
V = IR
45 = I × 26.5
Divide both side by 26.5
I = 45 / 26.5
I = 1.70 A
A person pushes a 125 kg object initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The object ends up with a final velocity of 1.40 m/s. What is the total
translational kinetic energy of the object?
Answer:
a person pushes a 125 kg
Explanation:
The total translational kinetic energy of the object is 122.5 J.
What is meant by kinetic energy ?Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.
Here,
Mass of the object, m = 125 kg
The final velocity of the object, v = 1.4 m/s
It is given that the object was initially at rest on a frictionless surface. When the object was pushed by the person, it gained some amount of kinetic energy and ended up with a final velocity of 1.4 m/s.
So, the expression for total translational kinetic energy of the object is given by,
KE = KEf + KEi
KE = 1/2m(v² + u²)
Since, the object was initially at rest, the initial velocity,
u = 0
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the object,
KE = 1/2 mv²
KE = 1/2 x 125 x (1.4)²
KE = 122.5 J
Hence,
The total translational kinetic energy of the object is 122.5 J.
