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

Two planets have masses 2 x 10^23 kg and 5 x 10^22 kg, and the distance between them is 3 x 10^16 m. Calculate the gravitational
xxTIMURxx [149]

Explanation:

given,

mass of one planet (m1)=2*10^23 kg

mass of another planet (m2)=5*10^22kg

distance between them(d)=3*10^16m

gravitational constant(G)=6.67*10^-11Nm^2kg^-2

gravitational force between them(F)=?

we know,

F=Gm1m2/d^2

or, F=6.67*10^-11*2*10^23*5*10^22/(3*10^16)^2

or, F=6.67*2*5*10^-11+23+22/3*3*10^32

or, F=66.7*10^34/9*10^32

or, F=7.41*10^34-32

•°• F=7.41*10^2

thus, the gravitational force between them is 7.14*10^2

11. A 6.0‐m wire with a mass of 50 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 810 Hz, the wavelength is
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Time will be 19 ms so option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given that mass of wire m = 50 gram = 0.5 kg

Frequency f = 810 Hz

Wavelength = 0.4 m

Velocity is given by

v=wavelength\times frequency=810\times 0.4=324m/sec

Amplitude is given as d = 6 m

So time t=\frac{distance}{velocity}=\frac{6}{324}=0.01851=19ms

So option (a) is correct option

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:  

v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum.   </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:    

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}           (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively.  </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}  

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41  

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.  

I hope it helps you!
