Americium-241 undergoes fission to produce three neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with th

is sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 1.8 neutrons per fission event, which will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. remove a deflective shield surrounding the sample. remove absorbent material mixed in with the sample. compress the sample of americium-241.

Critical mass can be achieved by compressing the sample of americium-241 and also removing the deflective shield surrounding the sample.

<h3>What is critical mass?</h3>

Critical mass of a nuclear reaction is the mass of nuclear fuel which is just sufficient for a nuclear fission reaction to proceed and be sustained.

In order to achieve critical mass, the density of the fuel is increased by compressing the sample of americium-241 and also remove the deflective shield surrounding the sample.

What happens to the population growth in a logistic growth pattern as it approaches carrying capacity?
AveGali [126]
B. slows down is your answer, obviously as it approaches carrying capacity, there would be less available space to find in the place of inhabitance, so less and less population units would be able to find the place of inhabitance suitable for living, or can't find enough space to live in.

Calculate the pressure exerted by an book of mass 20kg occupying an area of 2 m square.​
kotykmax [81]

The answer is 100 Pa.

The formula for calculating pressure is :

<u>Pressure = Force ÷ Area</u>

<u />

We are given that :

  • mass = 20 kg
  • area = 2 m²

We also know that :

<u>Force = mass ×g</u>

<u />

So, force will be :

  • F = 20 × 10
  • F = 200 N

Now, we can finally calculate pressure :

  • P = 200 ÷ 2
  • P = 100 Pa
