Why an ice skater extend her arms when she wants to slow down and crosses her arms when she wants to speed up?

Extending her arms creates greater air resistance, causing a greater amount of force slowing her down. Crossing her arms reduced this air resistance, lessening the force slowing her down.

hydrogenic materials are used as moderators in nuclear reactors to slow down the neutrons Why?

Hydrogenic materials, like water or heavy water, are used as moderators in nuclear reactors because they are effective at slowing down neutrons through elastic scattering. Slowing down neutrons is important to make them more likely to interact with other nuclei, initiating a chain reaction in the reactor. Hydrogen atoms in these materials have a similar mass to neutrons, making them efficient at transferring kinetic energy and slowing down the neutrons.


Gradually slowing down?

Gradually slowing down is 'decelerating'.


The term deceleration means?

Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.

The primary purpose of a moderator used in a nuclear reaction is to?

control the rate of the nuclear reaction by slowing down neutrons to enhance the likelihood of fission events. This helps sustain a controlled chain reaction while preventing overheating and runaway reactions.


The cadmium in the control rods slows down a nuclear fission reaction by absorbing neutrons true or false?

True. Cadmium (and boron plus some other elements) absorbs neutrons, thus limiting or slowing the fission chain in a nuclear reactor.
