How is heavy water different from normal water

Physics
2 answers:
Vsevolod [243]3 years ago

The answer is C. An oxygen atom in heavy water has an extra neutron.

I say this because heavy water is also water, but it contains a higher proportion of the hydrogen isotope – deuterium. Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom makes a water molecule. Deuterium is very much the same as that of normal hydrogen, but contains an extra neutron.

So therefore, the answer is C.

A ship maneuvers to within 2.50 x 10^3 m of an islands 1.80 x 10^3 m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between ship and enemy ship

= 500 + 610

= 3110 m

Range of projectile

R = u² sin2θ / g

= (250x 250 sin 150) / 9.8

= 3188m

The projectile falls within a distance of 3188 - 3110 = 78 m from enemy ship

Height of mountain = 1800 m

We shall find the height of projectile when its horizontal displacement is 2500m

x = 2500 , y = ?

u = 2500 ,

y = x / cos θ - .5 g x² /u²cos² θ

\frac{2500}{.2588} - \frac{.5 \times9.8\times2500\times2500}{250\times250\times.2588}

9660 - 7315 m

= 2345 m

It is within 545 m from mountain peak .

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 1200 ft from an
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

s=1.1107\ m is the minimum depth of snow for survivable stopping.

Explanation:

Given:

  • terminal velocity of fall, u=56\ m.s^{-1}
  • mass of the paratrooper, m=85\ kg
  • force on the paratrooper by the ice to stop him, F=1.2\times 10^5\ N

<u>Firstly, we calculate the deceleration caused in the snow:</u>

a=\frac{F}{m}

a=\frac{120000}{85}

a=1411.765\ m.s^{-2}

Now, using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.s ....................(1)

where:

v = final velocity of the body after stopping

u = initial velocity of the body just before hitting the snow

a = acceleration of the body in the snow

s = distance through in the snow

Putting respective values in eq. (1)

0^2=56^2+2\times (-1411.765)\times s

s=1.1107\ m

How does a mirage occur in a deser?explain with a labelled diagram.​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.

When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.
