What are the SUVAT equations and how can I remember them?
The SUVAT equations for motion are as follows:v = u + at s = ((u + v)/2)t s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t^2) s = vt - (1/2)(a)(t^2) v^2 = u^2 + 2asThe last 3 equations can be derived from the first two, but will also be...

Where does the simple harmonic motion equation come from and what does it mean?
We know that the displacement, x, is described by the equation x = Acos(ωt + Φ), where A is the amplitude of oscillation, ω is the angular frequency and Φ is the phase shift. The velocity, v, is the time der...

Describe and explain how a constant rate of fission is maintained in a reactor by considering what events or sequence of events may happen to the released neutrons. (6 marks)
In one fission reaction 2 or 3 neutrons are released at once, to ensure the effectiveness and the safety of the reaction this must be controlled. A neutron is first slowed down by a moderator, which is usual...
