- Can you please answer all questions in 1 for me? That is 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d. Thanks! 1. Using SOUND, BALANCED NUCLEAR EQUATION/REACTION AND PRINCIPLE ONLY, explain a. “How does KI work to help mitigate the effect of exposure to radiation? b. “What is the SOURCE OF HEAT that resulted in the melt-down at the Fukushima-nuclear-reactor?” [Actual balanced nuclear equations showing heat generated or absence of certain things]. c. The Dumping of Debris containing Boron as solution to Overheating [Nuclear Equation required] in (b). (D) What are the advantage fusion reactions offers over fissions as source of nuclear energy?.arrow_forwardPlease answer using the variables provided and show explanations and work spaced out. I cannot understand when its all typed together. Please circle final answers for each of the three parts.arrow_forwardSee the screenshot uploaded.

- Hello, part D was incorrect, and where does the six come from?? I confused on reading the grapharrow_forwardPlease explain it short and easy to understand (The picture is what the experiment look like) (Please don't explain it by giving the formulas because I don't understand) It is all related. What is the effect of increasing and decreasing the altitude where the experiment takes place? Why? (I really don't understand this question because it does not change anything when increase or decrease it) What is the effect of increasing or decreasing the mass of the cannon ball?(I think the effect is that with air resistance, increasing the mass will increase the range of the cannonball because the object is heavier. Is it correct?)arrow_forwardPlease answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it. What is its final kinetic energy 10 seconds after starting from rest? 312 J 237 J 156 J 106 Jarrow_forward

Simplify your final answer without the use of calculator.arrow_forwardOn this situation for science I do not understand. Under the write section is what we're supposed to be including. So down below I will show you what it is asking, and what it wants me to write 2 paragraphs about can you please help me with a deep explanation, because I need help asap because it's due at 11:59 tonight.arrow_forwardUse your knowledge of and experience with waves and to answer the following and show your work. What is the frequency in Hertz (Hz) of a signal that repeats 80,000 times in a minute? What is the period of the wave in part (a)? Now suppose you have a composite signal (composed of many frequencies). If the frequencies range from 50 Hz to 600 Hz, what is the (analog) bandwidth?arrow_forward
