Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the

rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6?

The ration of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6 is 1.004.

The molecular mass of 235uf6 is 349, while that of 238uf6 is 352.

The rms speed is calculated as

v=√(3RT/m)

Thus the ratio rms speed of 235uf6 to 238uf6 is calculated as

r=√(352/349)=1.004

A 500 kg object is hanging from a spring attached to the ceiling. If the spring constant in the spring is 900 N/kg, how far does
My name is Ann [436]

We are given that a 500 kg object is hanging from a spring. To determine the amount the spring is stretched we will use Hook's law, which states the following:

F=kx

Where:

\begin{gathered} F=\text{ force} \\ k=\text{ spring constant} \\ x=\text{ distance stretched} \end{gathered}

Since the object is hanging the only force acting on the spring is the weight of the object. The weight of the object is:

F_g=mg

Where:

\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \end{gathered}

Plugging in the values we get:

F_g=(500\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})

Solving the operations:

F_g=4900N

Now we solve for "x" from Hook's law by dividing both sides by "k":

\frac{F}{k}=x

Now we plug in the known values:

\frac{4900N}{900\frac{N}{m}}=x

Solving the operations:

5.4m=x

Therefore, the spring is stretched by 5.4 meters.

Which has an effect on acceleration (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction)?
7nadin3 [17]

Explanation:

If acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity, the object will be speeding up. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down.
