The combustion of a single molecule of methane produces about 10 ev of energy. a methane molecule has a mass of 16 amu. the fiss

ion of a uranium-235 atom produces about 189 mev of energy. based on these numbers, about what mass of methane will produce as much energy as a single gram of uranium-235?

If one molecule of methane produces 10eV then we need:
n=\frac{189MeV}{10eV},
molecules of methane to get 189MeV.
n=\frac{189MeV}{10eV}=\frac{189}{10}\cdot 10^6=18900000
To get the mass we simply multiply this number by the mass of one molecule of methane.
m=16\cdot18900000=302400000amu
One atomic mass unit is:
amu=1.66053904\cdot 10^{-24}$g
There we would need:
m=302400000\cdot1.66053904\cdot 10^{-24}=5.0214701\cdot10^{-16}$g
grams of methane.

The radar system of a navy cruiser transmits at a wavelength of 1.4 cm, from a circular antenna with a diameter of 2.7 m. At a r
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Distance will be 49.34 m

Explanation:

We have given wavelength \lambda =1.4cm =0.014m

Diameter of the antenna d = 2.7 m

Range L = 7.8 km = 7800 m

We have to find the smallest distance hat two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects D

We know that distance is given by D=\frac{L1.22\lambda }{d}=\frac{7800\times 1.22\times 0.014}{2.7}=49.3422m

So distance D will be 49.34 m
