Answer: Nuclear Fission

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reactions are one of the nuclear reactions in which heavier nuclei splits into two or more lighter nuclei. In these reactions, neutrons are released with a large amount of energy.

General equation for nuclear fission reactions is given by:

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-U}^{A-V}\textrm{Y}+_U^V\textrm{W}+3_0^1n+\text{Energy}

Nuclear fusion reactions are one of the nuclear reactions in which two or more lighter nuclei combines to form heavier nuclei. In these reactions,   large amount of energy is released.

A 65 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord that is 12 m long when unstretched, and falls a total of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

(a) k = 30.33 N/m

(b) a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

First, we need to find the force acting on the bungee jumper. Since, this is a free fall motion. Therefore, the force must be equal to the weight of jumper:

F = W = mg

F = (65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 637 N

(a)

Now applying Hooke's Law:

F = k Δx

where,

k = spring constant = ?

Δx = change in length of bungee cord = 33 m - 12 m = 21 m

Therefore,

637 N = k(21 m)

k = 637 N/21 m

<u>k = 30.33 N/m</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Since, this is free fall motion. Thus, the maximum acceleration will be the acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

<u>a = 9.8 m/s²</u>

Y_Kistochka [10]

The complete question is;

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than the water at the top, 51 m above the bottom. He reasoned that the falling water would transform its gravitational potential energy at the top into thermal energy at the bottom, where turbulence brings the water almost to a halt. If this transformation is the only process occurring, how much warmer will the water at the bottom be?

Answer:

Water becomes warmer by a temperature of ΔT = 0.119 K

Explanation:

If we assume that gravitational kinetic energy will be converyrf into thermal enrgy, we will have;

Q = U

So, m•c_w•ΔT = mgh

Where;

c_w is specific heat capacity of water with a value of 4184 J/Kg.K

ΔT is change in temperature indicating how warmer the water will be. Thus making ΔT the subject, we have;

ΔT = gh/c_w

So, ΔT = 9.8 x 51/4184 = 0.119 K

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for
GaryK [48]

Answer:

F=4945.7N

Explanation:

Most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces because these are the only forces on the horizontal direction the automobile is subjected to, besides of that generated by the engine itself. If the automobile is moving at constant speed, then these the force the engine provides is equal to the total friction force acting on the car.

We calculate then the force the engine provides. We know that power relates to work by the equation P=\frac{W}{t}, and that work relates to force by the equation W=Fd, so combining them we have:

P=\frac{Fd}{t}=Fv

Which can be written as:

F=\frac{P}{v}

And since 179hp are 179hp(\frac{746W}{1hp})=133534W, for our values the force the engine provides is:

F=\frac{133534W}{27m/s}=4945.7N

Which is also then the total friction force acting on the car.
