How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy E = mc^2, so the definition of energy in this case is

E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2.

From the last equation,

v= \sqrt{2E/m}

where

E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J

and the mass of the neutron is

m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg.

Then

v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

the equivalent of 0.065 the speed of light.

The colors you see during a sunset are caused by _____. the refraction of light by the atmosphere the absorption of light by the
love history [14]

Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i  - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i  - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi)  - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi  - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

In a high school swim competition, a student takes 1.6 s to complete 1.5 somersaults. Determine the average angular speed of the
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The  angular speed is w = 5.89 \ rad/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The time taken is  t = 1.6 s

    The number of somersaults  is n  =  1.5

The total angular displacement during the somersault is mathematically represented as

         \theta  =  n *  2 *  \pi

substituting values

        \theta  =  1.5 *  2 *  3.142

       \theta  = 9.426 \ rad

 The angular speed is mathematically represented as

         w =  \frac{\theta }{t}

substituting values

         w =  \frac{9.426}{1.6}

          w = 5.89 \ rad/s

pentagon [3]

I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.
