Uranium-238 (U238) has three more neutrons than uranium-235 (U235). Compared to the speed of sound in a bar of U235, is the spee

d of sound in a bar of U238 higher, lower, or the same? There are several factors that play a role.
(a) Chemically, the atoms of these two isotopes behave in essentially identical ways, since the number of protons (92) is identical and the clouds of 92 electrons are nearly identical. The interatomic distance, and the effective "stiffness" of the interatomic bond, both depend on the chemical properties of the atoms. Therefore, which of the following statements are true?
A) The effective stiffness of the interatomic "spring" is the same in the two isotopes, since this "spring" is a model for the interactions of the outer electrons, which are the same for different isotopes of the same atom.
B) An atom with more mass in the nucleus is bigger, so the distance between neighboring atoms is larger.
C) The interatomic distance is the same for the two isotopes, because it depends on the size of the electron cloud, not the nuclear mass.
D) The effective stiffness of the interatomic "spring" is greater for U238 because the mass is greater.

Answer:

The correct  answers to then question are

A and B

Explanation:

As highlighted, the atoms of the two isotopes are chemically identical and they have similar characteristics due to the presence of equal number of protons  and electrons (92 each). Therefore factors influenced by the chemistry of the atoms of the isotopes such as the distance between atoms and the stiffness of the inter-atomic spring is identical for both  U_{235} and  U_{238}

An analogy of the spring constant and the inter-atomic distance is to consider the atoms of the metal to be interconnected by elastic material and as such the stiffness of the elastic material and the inter-atomic distance are determined by surface factors occurring on the surface

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.6 vibrations
tangare [24]

Answer:

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Explanation:

given,

Wave vibrates = 37.6

time = 27.9 s

maximum distance travel = 450 cm

time = 11.3 s

wavelength = ?

frequency of wave

f=\dfrac{37.6}{27.9}

f = 1.35 Hz

Speed of wave

v = \dfrac{450}{11.3}

v = 39.82 cm/s

wavelength of wave

v = fλ

\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda =\dfrac{34.82}{1.35}

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Hence, wavelength of the wave is equal to 25.79 cm.

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

Considering how the parts of a system work together and affect one another, other systems, and the environment is called _______
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Hi

before I answer a question I think very deeply and try my best, hope it helps...

As you know there are many different types of systems. For example, The solar system, galaxies, quantum systems, atoms, molecules, orchestras, nervous system, etc, things you may not have even considered a system. To get to the basis of a system we must first understand what a system is then we will show some examples. A system is a group of Parts (parts could mean anything even dark energy and dark matter) that work together to accomplish something. For example, your body has many many trillions of cells that all try to accomplish the functions of humans which include thinking, moving, breathing, circulation, etc. Cells in turn are a system that have counterparts called organelles that accomplish harvesting energy, making new proteins, getting rid of waste, and so on. These are some systems which we highly dependent upon.

Well i hope it helped
