Which statement describes the use of control rods?
control rods are lowered into the reactor to slow down the reaction by absorbing neutrons.
control rods are lowered into the reactor to speed up the reaction by releasing neutrons.
control rods are raised out of the reactor to slow down the reaction by absorbing neutrons.
control rods are raised out of the reactor to speed up the reaction by releasing neutrons.

explanation:

specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance.

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
