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 space station sounds an alert signal at time intervals of 1.00 h . Spaceships A and B pass the station, both moving at 0.400c0
balandron [24]

Answer:

a)  Time interval between signals according to an observer on spaceship A  = 1.09h

b)  Time interval between signals according to an observer on spaceship B = 1.09h

c)The speed of A relative to the station to measure a time interval of 2.00h = 2.6 * 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

a) Time interval between signals according to an observer on spaceship A

Initial time intervals for the alert signal, Δt₀ = 1.00h

The speed of spaceship A, v = 0.400c

The formula for the time interval is given by

Δt = ∆t₀ /√(1-(v/c)² )

Δt = 1 / √(1-(0.4c/c)² )

Δt = 1 / √(1-(0.4)²

Δt = 1.09 h

b) The intervals between signals according to an observer on spaceship A and B are equal because both spaceships are moving at the same speed.

Therefore, the time interval between signals according to an observer on B is Δt = 1.09 h

c) The speed of A relative to the station to measure a time interval of 2.00h

Δt = ∆t₀ /√(1-(v/c)² )

2 = 1 /√(1-(v/c)² )

√(1-(v/c)² ) = 0.5

1-(v/c)² = 0.25

0.75 = (v/c)²

v/c = 0.866

v = 0.866c

v = 0.866 * 3 * 10⁸

v = 2.6 * 10⁸ m/s

Calculate the current in mA through the person, given the voltage of the source to be 120 V and the resistance of the appliance
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

90.6 A

Explanation:

From ohm's law,

V = IR.................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage of the source, I = current through the person, R = Total resistance

Make I the subject of the equation,

I = V/R............... Equation 2

From the question,

R = Resistance of the appliance + Resistance of the skin

R = 2552+96 = 2648 ohms.

Given:

V = 240 V, R = 2648 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

I = 240/2648

I = 0.0906 A

I = 90.6 mA.

Hence the current through the person = 90.6 A.

(50 pts) How are beryllium and carbon made inside a star? <br> Thanks! :)
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Stars create new elements in their cores bu squeezing elements together in a process called unclear fusion. First stars fuse hydrogen atoms into heluim. Helium atorm then fuse to create berylluim and so on until fusion in the star’s core has created every element up to icon.
