Answer: a) ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n

b) ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.

a) The given reaction is ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + x^{1}_{0}n

Now,  as the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:

235+1=87+146+x

x=3

Thus three neutrons are produced and nuclear equation will be: ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n

b) For the another fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{A}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{Z}\textrm{X}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 2

A = 140

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = 56 + Z + 0

Z = 36

As Krypton has atomic number of 36,Thus the nuclear equation will be :

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

A diver rises quickly to the surface from a 5.0 m depth. If she did not exhale the gas from her lunds before rising, by what fac
Inessa [10]

Answer:

1.5 times

Explanation:

h = depth of the diver initially = 5 m

\rho = density of seawater = 1030 kg m⁻³

P_{i} = Initial pressure at the depth

P_{f} = final pressure after rising = 101325 Pa

Initial pressure at the depth is given as

P_{i} = P_{f} + \rho gh\\P_{i} = 101325 + (1030) (9.8) (5)\\P_{i} = 151795 Pa

V_{i} = Initial volume at the depth

V_{f} = Final volume after rising

Since the temperature remains constant, we have

P_{f} V_{f} = P_{i} V_{i}\\(101325) V_{f} = (151795) V_{i}\\V_{f} = 1.5 V_{i}

Which is the correct interpretation of the formula mgf2? the lattice contains 1 magnesium atom for every 2 fluorine atoms. the l
mixer [17]

Answer: the lattice contains 1 magnesium ion for every 2 fluoride ions.

MgF_2  is an ionic compound. It contains positive ions of Magnesium and  and negative ions of Fluorine. To balance the +2 positive charge of one magnesium ion, two (-1) negatively charged Fluorine ions are present. Hence, The correct interpretation of MgF_2  is that the lattice contains 1 Magnesium ion for every 2 Fluoride ions.

irinina [24]

B. Ask a question - Hypothesize - Experiment - Analyze - Draw  a conclusion

Explanation:

The scientific method is a systematic approach in which investigations are conducted in science.

It follows systematic manner;

  • An observation in nature is made using the senses.
  • Questions are then asked about such observations. This is the inquiry phase.
  • A hypothesis is then formula to predict what might cause the observation.
  • Experiments are then conducted
  • The results are analyzed and a conclusion is drawn

Patrick is repairing the roof on his house. He uses a hammer having a mass of 1 kilogram. While working at the apex of the roof,
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

72 joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.

since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)

therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.
