After the fission of U-235 takes place, how many neutrons does the missing nucleus have?

Physics

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.

choli [55]

Answer:

1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

Explanation:

q = Charge in the potassium ion = 19e-18e

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

V_2-V_1 = Change in potential = 0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})

Change in electric potential is given by

E=q(V_2-V_1)\\\Rightarrow E=(19e-18e)(0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})\\\Rightarrow E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 85.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

The energy is 1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

Can someone help me with this question
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net force: 20 N to the right

mass of the bag: 20.489 kg

acceleration:  0.976  m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:

195 N - 175 N = 20 N

So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.

The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:

mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg

and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:

acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976  m/s^2

Why do temperatures differ between air, land, and water?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:the ocean water isn't moving into or through the atmosphere as a result of the sun's heating of the water, convection isn't the process influencing air and water temperature difference. The heat of the ocean is being given off radiated into the air, making the air substantially warmer

A single conducting loop of wire has an area of 7.26E-2 m2 and a resistance of 117 Ω. Perpendicular to the plane of the loop is
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

\frac{dB}{dt} = 591.45 T/s

Explanation:

i = induced current in the loop = 0.367 A

R = Resistance of the loop = 117 Ω

E = Induced voltage

Induced voltage is given as

E = i R

E = (0.367) (117)

E = 42.939 volts

\frac{dB}{dt} = rate of change of magnetic field

A = area of loop = 7.26 x 10⁻² m²

Induced emf is given as

E = A\frac{dB}{dt}

42.939 = (7.26\times 10^{-2})\frac{dB}{dt}

\frac{dB}{dt} = 591.45 T/s

Calculate the magnitude of the electric field 2.00 m from a point charge of 5.00 mC (such as found on the terminal of a Van de G
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 1.124 X 10⁷ N/C

Explanation:

Magnitude of electric field is given as;

E = \frac{kq}{r^2} , N/C

where;

E is the magnitude of the electric field, N/C

q is the point charge, C

k is coulomb's constant, Nm²/C²

r is the distance of the point charge, m

Given;

q = 5mC = 5×10⁻³ C

r = 2m

k = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values and solve for magnitude of electric field E

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}  = \frac{(8.99 X10^9)(5X10^{-3})}{2^2}  = 1.124 X10^7 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is 1.124 X 10⁷ N/C
