Answer:

“A mountain of uranium” is an indefinable amount of uranium. If it means uranium ore as found in nature, then the concentration of uranium is orders of magnitude too low for any type of reaction.

Your mountain is almost entirely U238 which cannot be used in an atomic bomb. The reason is that it will not sustain a chain reaction, which depends on neutrons released in fission events to induce further fission events in an exponentionally increasing amount.

A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s

A student claims that any object in motion must experience a force that keeps it in motion. Do you agree or disagree? Explain yo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.

Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals
laiz [17]
Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).
