An illustration of a nuclear reactor. There are 3 parallel lines sticking half out of the reactor labeled rods containing uranium. There are parallel rods in the reactor labeled neutron-absorbing material. It is labeled nuclear reactor.
A power plant needs to slow down the fission reactions in its nuclear reactor. In which direction should the uranium-containing rods in the diagram be moved?

You will be galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. (refer to the walk-through video to locate the online lab within the online textbook).

Henry, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. the scale reads 830 n for the first 2.4 s after the elevator starts moving, then 930 n for the next 2.4 s. part a what is the elevator's speed 4.8 s after starting? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
