Alight water-cooled nuclear power plant rated at 1000 mw(el) would require approximately 3100 mw of thermal input from the fuel. estimate the mass of fuel that has fissioned during a year of operation at 80 percent plant capacity factor. the plant capacity factor is the ratio of energy gen- erated in a given period to the amount that could be produced if the plant operated continuously. note that the mass fissioned is not the loss in mass as a result of fission since each atom fissioned forms fission product nuclides.

Describe the path of the electric current through a circuit?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?

Question 1 (5 pts): what is the maximum distance for which you can you resolve the two individual headlights of an on-coming truck as two separate lights rather than one if the headlights are separated by 2.00 m and your eye has a diameter of 1.00 centimeter? assume a wavelength of 500 nm.
