Answer:

When uranium is mined, it consists of approximately 99.3% uranium-238 (U238), 0.7% uranium-235 (U235), and < 0.01% uranium-234 (U234). These are the different uranium isotopes. Isotopes of uranium contain 92 protons in the atom's center or nucleus. (The number of protons in the nucleus is what makes the atoms "uranium.") The U238 atoms contain 146 neutrons, the U235 atoms contain 143 neutrons, and the U234 atoms contain only 142 neutrons. The total number of protons plus neutrons gives the atomic mass of each isotope — that is 238, 235, or 234, respectively. On an atomic level, the size and weight of these isotopes are slightly different. This implies that with the right equipment and under the right conditions, the isotopes can be separated.

A 4.0-kilogram ball moving at 8.0 m/s to the right collides with a 1.0-kilogram ball at rest. After the collision, the 4.0-kilog

Its about momentum. Momentum (p)=mass(m)xvelocity(v)
So for the first ball P=4x8=32kgm/s
For the second the momentum is zero as it is still.
So overall momentum its 32kgm/s
Momentum has to be conserved
After the collision the momentum of the 4kg ball is 4x4.8=19.2kgm/s
As momentum is conserved 32-19.2=12.8kgm/s remaining
So rearrange for velocity so v=p/m=12.8/1=12.8m/s for the 1kg ball

What is 1/12+7/9 hj​
Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

\frac{1}{12}  +  \frac{7}{9}  \\  \\  =  \frac{1 \times 3}{12 \times 3}  +  \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} \\  \\  =  \frac{3}{36}  +  \frac{28}{36}  \\  \\  =  \frac{3 + 28}{36}  \\  \\  =  \frac{31}{36}  \\  \\   \huge \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \:  \frac{1}{12}  +  \frac{7}{9}  =  \frac{31}{36} }} \\
