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 wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

A package is dropped from an air balloon two times. In the first trial the distance between the balloon and the surface is Hand
enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

v=gt

And the distance traveled downwards is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Replacing into the first equation:

\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Rationalizing:

\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}

Taking out the square root of 4:

\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

a motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 5.1 m/s starting from rest how far can it travell in 1.5 sec
Katarina [22]
The answer is 21m because the motion is in one dimension with constant acceleration.

The initial velocity is 0, because it started from rest, the acceleration <span>ax</span> is <span>4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span></span>, and the time t is <span>3.0s</span>

Plugging in our known values, we have

<span>Δx=<span>(0)</span><span>(3.0s)</span>+<span>12</span><span>(4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span>)</span><span><span>(3.0s)</span>2</span>=<span>21<span>m</span></span></span>

Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s. What does micah need to determine acceleration.
katrin2010 [14]
The time component is needed. The acceleration is the change of velocity divided by the time in when this change of velocity happens.
