Answer:

B) 85

Explanation:

In the nuclear fission of uranium-235, a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a slow-moving neutron and then decays into a nucleus of Kripton-92, a nucleus of Barium-141 (which is the missing nucleus in the figure) and three more neutrons.

Knowing that:

- Uranium has atomic number 92, so it has 92 protons

- Kripton has atomic number 36, so it has 36 protons

- Barium has atomic number 56, so it has 56 protons

We can calculate the number of neutrons in the nucleus of barium, since we know that the total number of neutrons must be conserved. We have:

- On the left side of the reaction: (235-92) neutrons of the uranium + 1 neutron absorbed = 144 neutrons

- On the right side of the reaction: (92-36) neutrons of the krypton + X neutrons of the barium + 3 neutrons = 144

So we get:

56 + X + 3 = 144

X = 85

So, the nucleus of barium has 85 neutrons.

Natali [406]

Complete Question

A power supply has an open-circuit voltage of 40.0 V and an internal resistance of 2.00 $\Omega$ . It is used to charge two storage batteries connected in series, each having an emf of 6.00 V and internal resistance of 0.300 $\Omega$ . If the charging current is to be 4.00 A, (a) what additional resistance should be added in series? At what rate does the internal energy increase in (b) the supply, (c) in the batteries, and (d) in the added series resistance? (e) At what rate does the chemical energy increase in the batteries?

Answer:

The additional resistance is $R_z = 4.4 \Omega$

The rate at which internal energy increase at the supply is $Z_1 = 32 W$

The rate at which internal energy increase in the battery is $Z_1 = 32 W$

The rate at which internal energy increase in the added series resistance is $Z_3 = 70.4 W$

the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is $C = 48 W$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The open circuit voltage is $V = 40.0V$

The internal resistance is $R = 2 \Omega$

The emf of each battery is $e = 6.00 V$

The internal resistance of the battery is $r = 0.300V$

The charging current is $I = 4.00 \ A$

Let assume the the additional resistance to to added to the circuit is $R_z$

So this implies that

The total resistance in the circuit is

$R_T = R + 2r +R_z$

Substituting values

$R_T = 2.6 +R_z$

And the difference in potential in the circuit is

$E = V -2e$

=> $E = 40 - (2 * 6)$

$E = 28 V$

Now according to ohm's law

$I = \frac{E}{R_T}$

Substituting values

$4 = \frac{28}{R_z + 2.6}$

Making $R_z$ the subject of the formula

So $R_z = \frac{28 - 10.4}{4}$

$R_z = 4.4 \Omega$

The increase rate of internal energy at the supply is mathematically represented as

$Z_1 = I^2 R$

Substituting values

$Z_1 = 4^2 * 2$

$Z_1 = 32 W$

The increase rate of internal energy at the batteries is mathematically represented as

$Z_2 = I^2 r$

Substituting values

$Z_2 = 4^2 * 2 * 0.3$

$Z_2 = 9.6 \ W$

The increase rate of internal energy at the added series resistance is mathematically represented as

$Z_3 = I^2 R_z$

Substituting values

$Z_3 = 4^2 * 4.4$

$Z_3 = 70.4 W$

Generally the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is mathematically represented as

$C = 2 * e * I$

Substituting values

$C = 2 * 6 * 4$

$C = 48 W$

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

All of the frictions are the same, but weight always goes straight down so it can only be A or B. Since they are going down a slope, then the normal force must be sloped. A is the only one out of A and B with a sloped normal force, so it has to be A

A car starting from rest has a constant acceleration of 4 meters per second per second. How fast will it be going in 5 seconds?

irinina [24]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s

solving for the final velocity, v

v = a * t

v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s

v = 12 m / s
