1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.

(a) Neil A. Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. The distance between the earth and the moon is . Find the time i
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a)<em> It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves. </em>

b) <em>The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds. </em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

  • Gamma rays
  • X-rays
  • Ultraviolet rays
  • Visible region
  • Infrared
  • Microwave
  • Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of 3x10^{8}m/s.  

<em>a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

c = \frac{d}{t}  (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

t = \frac{d}{c}  (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is 3.85x10^{8} m, therefore.

t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}

t = 1.28s

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

<em>b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is 5.76x10^{10}m, therefore.

t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}

t = 192s

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration 29.4 m/s2 m /
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The maximum height is 2881.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 29.4 m/s²

Time = 7.00 s

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times29.4\times7^2

s=720.3\ m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

v=a\times t

Put the value into the formula

v=29.4\times7

v=205.8\ m/s

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of height

H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value into the formula

H=\dfrac{(205.8)^2}{2\times9.8}

H=2160.9\ m

We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula for maximum height

H'=H+s

Put the value into the formula

H'=2160.9+720.3

H'=2881.2\ m

Hence, The maximum height is 2881.2 m.
