How does nuclear fission work?

Physics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
7 0

Current nuclear reactors use nuclear fission to generate power. ... In nuclear fusion, you get energy when two atoms join together to form one. In a fusion reactor, hydrogen atoms come together to form helium atoms, neutrons and vast amounts of energy. It's the same type of reaction that powers hydrogen bombs and the sun.

0.001225 kg/L x 720 000 000L =?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = 882000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

The equation to solve is given as:

0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = ?

Let us write each term of the product in terms of power of 10.

As 0.001225 has 6 digits after the decimal place, therefore, we use the exponent 6 for 10 and the sign is negative. This gives,

0.001225\ kg/L = 1225\times 10^{-6}\ kg/L

Now, for 720000000 L there are 6 zeros after 720. So, we use exponent 6 but with a positive sign. This gives,

720000000\ L=720\times 10^{6}\ L

Now, finding the product, we get:

0.001225\ kg/L\times 720000000\ L\\\\=1225\times 10^{-6}\ kg/L\times 720\times 10^6\ L\\\\=(1225\times 720)\times (10^6\times 10^{-6})\ (\frac{kg}{L}\times L)\\\\=882000\times 10^{6-6}\ kg\\\\=882000\times 10^0\ kg\\\\=882000\times 1\ kg\\\\=882000\ kg

Therefore, the product is equal to:

0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = 882000 kg

A force in the x direction acts on a particle moving also in the x direction, producing a potential energy U(x)=Ax4 where A=0.63
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 1.29*10^-3N in the positive x direction

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude and direction of the force, you take into account that the force is the space derivative of the potential enrgy, as follow:

F(x)=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}     (1)

where:

U(x)=Ax^4\\\\A=0.0630\frac{J}{m^4}

You replace the expression for U into the equation (1) and solve for F:

F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}[Ax^4]=-4Ax^3     (2)

The force on the particle, for x = -0.080m is:

F=-4(0.630\frac{J}{m^4})(-0.0800m)^3=1.29*10^{-3}N

The magnitude of the force is 1.29*10^-3N in the positive x direction

(1 point) A mass m=4kg is attached to both a spring with spring constant k=577N/m and a dash-pot with damping constant c=4N⋅s/m
sasho [114]

Answer:

The function is x = e^(-t/2) * (0.792*sin12t + 5cos12t)

Explanation:

we have to:

m = mass = 4 kg

k = spring constant = 577 N/m

c = damping constant = 4 N*s/m

The differential equation of motion is equal to:

m(d^2x/dt^2) + c(dx/dt) + k*x = 0

Replacing values:

4(d^2x/dt^2) + 4(dx/dt) + 577*x = 0

Thus, we have:

4*x^2 + 4*x + 577 = 0

we will use the quadratic equation to solve the expression:

x = (-4 ± (4^2 - (4*4*577))^1/2)/(2*4) = (-4 ± (-9216))/8 = (1/2)  ± 12i

The solution is equal to:

x = e^(1/2) * (c1*sin12t + c2*cos12t)

x´ = (-1/2)*e^(1/2) * (c1*sin12t + c2*cos12t) + e^(-t/2) * (12*c1*cos12t - 12*c2*sin12t)

We have the follow:

x(0) = 5

e^0(0*c1 + c2) = 5

c2 = 5

x´(0) = 7

(-1/2)*e^0 * (0*c1 + c2) + e^0 * (12*c1 - 0*c2) = 7

(-1/2)*(5) + 12*c1 = 7

Clearing c1:

c1 = 0.792

The function is equal to:

x = e^(-t/2) * (0.792*sin12t + 5cos12t)
