Answer:

B

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei. When nuclei fission energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Fission is the break of the nuclei of an unstable atom, releasing heat in the process. By the graph shown, U-238 has less average binding energy per nucleon comparing to U-235. Because it has less binding energy, it is more difficult for it to react (it has less energy to release), so it is more stable than U-235.

The product of its fission is the U-235, an isotope that has a small mass than the uranium. So the mass that is lost during fission is converted to the binding energy in the isotope, making it slightly higher (the difference of mass is only 3 amu).

What is Newton's first law
Anastaziya [24]
Newton’s first law is motion. For example, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

A man starts walking from home and walks 2 miles at 20° north of west, then 4 miles at 10° west of south, then 3 miles at 15° no
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a)  R = 2.5 mi   b)  To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or θ = 98º

This is 8º north west

Explanation:

This is a distance exercise with vectors the best way to work these is to decompose the vectors and perform the sum on each axis separately

To use the Cartesian system all angles must be measured from the positive side of the x-axis or the signs of the components must be assigned manually depending on the quadrant where they are.

First vector A = 2 to 20º north west

Measured from the positive x axis is θ = 180 -20 = 160º

We use trigonometry to find the components

     Cos 20 = Aₓ / A

     sin 20 = A_{y} / A

    Aₓ = A cos 160 = 2 cos 160

    A_{y}  = A sin160 = 2 sin160

    Aₓ = -1,879 mi

    A_{y}  = 0.684 mi

Second vector B = 4 mi 10º west of the south

Angle θ = 270 - 10 = 260º

    cos 2600 = Bₓ / B

    sin 260 = B_{y} / B

    Bₓ = B cos 260

     B_{y}  = B sin 260

    Bₓ = 4 cos 260

     B_{y}  = 4 sin 260

     Bₓ = -0.6946mi

     B_{y}  = - 3,939 mi

Third vector C = 3 mi to 15 north east

     cos 15 = Cₓ / C

     sin15 = C_{y} / C

     Cₓ = C cos 15

     C_{y} = C sin15

     Cₓ = 3 cos 15

    C_{y} = 3 sin 15

     Cₓ = 2,898 mi

    C_{y} = 0.7765 mi

Now we can find the final position of the person

    X = Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ

    X = -1.879 -0.6949 + 2.898

    X = 0.3241 mi

    Y = A_{y} +  B_{y} + C_{y}

    Y = 0.684 - 3.939 +0.7765

    Y = -2.4785 mi

a) We use Pythagoras' theorem

     R = √ (x2 + y2)

     R = √ (0.3241 2 + (-2.4785) 2)

     R = 2.4996 mi

     R = 2.5 mi

b) let's use trigonometry

     Tan θ = y / x

     Tanθ  = -2.4785 / 0.3241

     θ = tan⁻¹ (-7,647)

     θ = -82

Measured from the positive side of the x axis is Te = 360 - 82 = 278º

(90-82) south east

To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or Te = 98º

This is 8º north west

Tom has two pendulums with him. Pendulum 1 has a ball of mass 0.2 kg attached to it and has a length of 5 m. Pendulum 2 has a ba
mars1129 [50]

Given Information:

Pendulum 1 mass = m₁ = 0.2 kg

Pendulum 2 mass = m₂ = 0.6 kg

Pendulum 1 length = L₁ = 5 m

Pendulum 2 length = L₂ = 1 m

Required Information:

Affect of mass on the frequency of the pendulum = ?

Answer:

The mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Explanation:

The relation between period and frequency of pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

The period of pendulum is given by

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity and L is the length of the string

As you can see the period (and frequency too) of pendulum is independent of the mass of the pendulum. Therefore, the mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Bonus:

Pendulum 1:

T₁ = 2π√(L₁/g)

T₁ = 2π√(5/9.8)

T₁ = 4.49 s

f₁ = 1/T₁

f₁ = 1/4.49

f₁ = 0.22 Hz

Pendulum 2:

T₂ = 2π√(L₂/g)

T₂ = 2π√(1/9.8)

T₂ = 2.0 s

f₂ = 1/T₂

f₂ = 1/2.0

f₂ = 0.5 Hz

So we can conclude that the higher length of the string increases the period of the pendulum and decreases the frequency of the pendulum.

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s. How far will the ball go before hit
tia_tia [17]

The distance travelled by the ball that is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s is 5.34 m

s = ut + 1 / 2 at²

s = Distance

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

Vertically,

s = 15.4 m

u = 0

a = 9.8 m / s²

15.4 = 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 9.8 * t² )

t² = 3.14

t = 1.77 s

Horizontally,

u = 3.01 m / s

a = 0 ( Since there is no external force )

s = ( 3.01 * 1.77 ) + 0

s = 5.34 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground is 5.34 m
