Answer:

520.41 N.

Explanation:

From newton's second law of motion,

The force of the elevator floor on a person is given as,

R = m(g-a)

R = W-ma................................... Equation 1

Where R = Force of the elevator floor, m = mass of the person, a = acceleration of the elevator, W = weight of the person.

But,

W = mg,

where g = acceleration due to gravity.

m = W/g.................... Equation 2

Given: W = 0.6 kN, = 600 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

m = 600/9.8

m = 61.22 kg.

Given: W = 0.6 kN = 600 N, m = 61.22 kg, a = 1.3 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

R = 600-61.22(1.3)

R = 600-79.586

R = 520.41 N.

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".

How to find distance when given mass time and force​
Yuri [45]

Answer:

it is actually very easy & interesting. first write formula of force F=Mass×Acceleration . now see what are the unknowns , mass is known but acceleration is not . so find acceleration, a=velocity/time , but now again we dont know velocity, V= distance/time . subbing in all the values, Force=Mass×(distance/time^2)

Hope it helps if you have any problem feel free to ask.

What is the half-life of an isotope if 125 g of a 500 g sample of the isotope remains after 3.0 years?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

125 / 500 = 1/4    of the sample left after 3.0 yrs

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4        sample has decayed thru 2 half-lives

2 * HL = 3

1 Half-Life = 1.5 yrs
