1. Susan pushes her dad, David, on an ice rink with a force of 30 N. She weighs 45 kg and her dad weighs 100 kg. What are the ac

celerations of Susan and David?

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 30N

Weight Susan = 45kg

Weight of Dad = 100kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of Susan = ?

Acceleration of Dad = ?

Solution:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration = $\frac{force}{mass}$

Acceleration of Susan = $\frac{30}{45}$ = 0.67m/s²

Acceleration of Dad = $\frac{30}{100}$ = 0.3m/s²

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!

An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 11.1 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

frozen [14]

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

$Tsin\theta= \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

r = Radius

The tension in the horizontal plane will be subject to the action of the weight, therefore

$Tcos\theta = mg$

Matching both expressions with respect to the tension we will have to

$T = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta}$

$T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Then we have that,

$\frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta} = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg tan\theta$

Rearranging to find the velocity we have that

$v = \sqrt{grTan\theta}$

The value of the angle is 14.5°, the acceleration (g) is 9.8m/s^2 and the radius is

$r = \frac{\text{diameter of rotational circular platform}}{2} + \text{length of chains}$

$r = \frac{11.1}{2}+2.41$

$r = 7.96m$

Replacing we have that

$v = \sqrt{(9.8)(7.96)tan(14.5\°)}$

$v = 4.492m/s$

Therefore the speed of each seat is 4.492m/s
