This applies to nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission.

This huge release of energy has been used in atomic bombs and in the nuclear reactors that generate electricity.

An archer fires an arrow at a castle 230 m away. The arrow is in flight for 6 seconds, then hits the wall of the castle and stic

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(a). The initial speed of the arrow is 49.96 m/s.

(b). The angle is 39.90°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal distance = 230 m

Time t = 6 sec

Vertical distance = 16 m

We need to calculate the horizontal component

Using formula of horizontal component

$R =u\cos\theta t$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{230}{6} = u\cos\theta$

$u\cos\theta=38.33$ .....(I)

We need to calculate the height

Using vertical component

$H=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$16 =u\sin\theta\times6-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times6^2$

$u\sin\theta=\dfrac{16+9.8\times18}{6}$

$u\sin\theta=32.06$ .....(II)

Dividing equation (II) and (I)

$\dfrac{u\sin\theta}{u\cos\theta}=\dfrac{32.06}{38.33}$

$\tan\theta=0.8364$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}0.8364$

$\theta=39.90^{\circ}$

(a). We need to calculate the initial speed

Using equation (I)

$u\cos\theta\times t=38.33$

Put the value into the formula

$u =\dfrac{230}{6\times\cos39.90}$

$u=49.96\ m/s$

(b). We have already calculate the angle.

Hence, (a). The initial speed of the arrow is 49.96 m/s.

(b). The angle is 39.90°.

Calculate the approximate volume of a uranium nucleus, 23592u. (you can ignore the mass defect in this calculation and simply ta

tester [92]

Radius of nuclei is given by formula

$R = R_oA^{1/3}$

now we can say volume of the nuclei is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R_o^3* A$

now the density is given as

density = mass / volume

mass of nuclei = mass of neutron + mass of protons

$m = z*m_p + (A- z)*m_n$

$m_p = m_n = 1.008u$

$m = A*1.008u$

Now density is given as

$\rho = \frac{A*1.008u}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_0^3* A}$

here we know that

$R_0$ = 1.2 fm

$\rho = \frac{1.008u}{\frac{4}{3}\pi*(1.2*10^{-15})^3}$

$\rho = 2.31 * 10^{17} kg/m^3$

So from above we can say that density of all nuclei is almost same.

Tju [1.3M]

Every organism may classified into seven level of classifications, such that each level contains organisms with similar characteristics. Kingdom is the largest and the broadest level of classification while species is the smallest and most specific level of classification. Therefore from the largest to the smallest the order is as follows:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
