The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

One of the waste products of a nuclear reactor is plutonium-239 . This nucleus is radioactive and decays by splitting into a hel
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

v_{He-4} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s  

b) E_{He-4} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J

E_{U-235} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J

 

Explanation:

Searching the missed information we have:                                        

E: is the energy emitted in the plutonium decay = 8.40x10⁻¹³ J

m(⁴He): is the mass of the helium nucleus = 6.68x10⁻²⁷ kg  

m(²³⁵U): is the mass of the helium U-235 nucleus = 3.92x10⁻²⁵ kg            

a) We can find the velocities of the two nuclei by conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy:

Linear momentum:

p_{i} = p_{f}

m_{Pu-239}v_{Pu-239} = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}

Since the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest, v_{Pu-239} = 0:

0 = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}  

v_{He-4} = -\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}}    (1)

Kinetic Energy:

E_{Pu-239} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}

2*8.40 \cdot 10^{-13} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}    

1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}   (2)    

By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:

1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}(-\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}})^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}  

1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg})^{2} +3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}^{2}  

Solving the above equation for v_{U-235} we have:

v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

And by entering that value into equation (1):

v_{He-4} = -\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s                        

The minus sign means that the helium-4 nucleus is moving in the opposite direction to the uranium-235 nucleus.

b) Now, the kinetic energy of each nucleus is:

For He-4:

E_{He-4} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s)^{2} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J

For U-235:

E_{U-235} = \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*(2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J

 

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
makvit [3.9K]

The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m  --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right  --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).
