In Iran, Uranium is being enriched using centrifuges. In the 1940’s and 1950’s USA Uranium was enriched using mass spectrometry.

Why did the Iranians choose not to use mass spectrometry?

<span>This is due to the low cost, in energy, of enrichment per unit <span> of uranium. It's cheaper to use centrifugal isotope separation than the use of mass spectrometry. However, mass spectrometry produces highly enriched uranium compared to centrifugal. Additionally, mass spectrometry requires a less mass of natural uranium (NU) to produce the desired enriched uranium. </span></span>

A 125kg man buy a 6kg watermelon, a 3kg cantaloupe, and 6kgs of potatoes, he walks home with his purchases in a large bag. His w
Stells [14]

Answer:

350N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the man = 125kg

Mass of the watermelon = 6kg

Mass of cantaloupe  = 3kg

Mass of potatoes  = 6kg

Acceleration  = 2.5m/s²  

Unknown:

Force required to get home  = ?

Solution:

To find this force we use;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

mass  = 125 + 6 + 3 + 6  = 140kg

 So;

      Net force = 140 x 2.5  = 350N

An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that \theta_2=90-43=47.

Using Snell's Law we can write:

n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)

\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2),

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)

\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13. Calling \alpha the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that \alpha=90-77.13=12.97

In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 6.4 m a
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

v_1 = 0

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

v_2 = 16.2 m/s

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

v_r = 16.2 m/s

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

d = v_r t

6.4 = 16.2 t

t = 0.395 m

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground
