Answer:

velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the total distance covered per unit time and the velocity is defined as the total displacement per unit time.

Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. The quantities that have both magnitude and direction are vector quantity and the quantity that have only magnitude are scalar quantity.The SI unit of both velocity and speed is m/s.

So, the correct option is (c) " velocity is a vector and requires a direction ".

Answer: C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- scalars: these are quantities that have only a magnitude

- vectors: there are quantities that have both magnitude and direction

As an example, speed is a scalar while velocity is a vector. Therefore, speed has only a magnitude, while velocity has both magnitude and direction: therefore, the difference between the two quantities is that velocity is a vector and requires a direction, as stated in option C.

A shopper does 157 J of work pushing a cart with 10.9 N force

Tanzania [10]

The cart travelled a distance of 14.4 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force when pushing an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where:

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem we have:

W = 157 J is the work done on the cart

F = 10.9 N is the magnitude of the force

$\theta=0^{\circ}$ , assuming the force is applied parallel to the motion of the cart

Therefore we can solve for d to find the distance travelled by the cart:

$d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{157}{(10.9)(cos 0)}=14.4 m$

Nuclearissionoccursthroughmanydifferent pathways. For the ission of U-235 induced by a neutron, write a nuclear equation to form

ruslelena [56]

Answer: a) $^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n$

b) $^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}$

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.

a) The given reaction is $^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + x^{1}_{0}n$

Now, as the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:

$235+1=87+146+x$

$x=3$

Thus three neutrons are produced and nuclear equation will be: $^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n$

b) For the another fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{A}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{Z}\textrm{X}+2^1_0\textrm{n}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 2

A = 140

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = 56 + Z + 0

Z = 36

As Krypton has atomic number of 36,Thus the nuclear equation will be :

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}$
