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 mass of 0.1 kg of helium fills a 0.2 m3 rigid tank at 350 kPa. The vessel is heated until the pressure is 700 kPa. Calculate t
QveST [7]

Explanation:

(a)   First, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

Molar mass of helium is 4 g/mol and mass is given as 0.1 kg or 100 g (as 1 kg = 1000 g).

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{\text{100 g}}{4 g/mol}  

                             = 25 mol

According to the ideal gas equation,

                           PV = nRT

or,       (P_{2} - P_{1})V = nR (T_{2} - T_{1})

          (6.90 atm - 3.45 atm) \times 200 L = 25 \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \Delta T

          \Delta T = 336.17 K

Hence, temperature change will be 336.17 K.

(b)   The total amount of heat required for this process will be calculated as follows.

                   q = mC \Delta T

                      = 100 g \times 5.193 J/g K \times 336.17 K

                      = 174573.081 J/K

or,                  = 174.57 kJ/K        (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the amount of total heat required is 174.57 kJ/K.

The heater element of a particular 120-V toaster is a 8.9-m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.86 mm. The resistivity
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Power, P = 722.96 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage, V = 120 V

Length of nichrome wire, l = 8.9 m

Diameter of wire, d = 0.86 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.43 mm = 0.00043 m

Resistivity of wire, \rho=1.3\times 10^{-6}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the power drawn by this heater. Power is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

And, R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}

P=\dfrac{V^2\times A}{\rho\times l}

P=\dfrac{120^2\times \pi (0.00043)^2}{1.3\times 10^{-6}\times 8.9}

P = 722.96 watts

So, the power drawn by this heater element is 722.96 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A projectile of mass m is launched with an initial velocity vector v i making an angle θ with the horizontal as shown below. The
sergeinik [125]
Angular momentum is given by the length of the arm to the object, multiplied by the momentum of the object, times the cosine of the angle that the momentum vector makes with the arm. From your illustration, that will be: 
<span>L = R * m * vi * cos(90 - theta) </span>

<span>cos(90 - theta) is just sin(theta) </span>
<span>and R is the distance the projectile traveled, which is vi^2 * sin(2*theta) / g </span>

<span>so, we have: L = vi^2 * sin(2*theta) * m * vi * sin(theta) / g </span>

<span>We can combine the two vi terms and get: </span>

<span>L = vi^3 * m * sin(theta) * sin(2*theta) / g </span>

<span>What's interesting is that angular momentum varies with the *cube* of the initial velocity. This is because, not only does increased velocity increase the translational momentum of the projectile, but it increase the *moment arm*, too. Also note that there might be a trig identity which lets you combine the two sin() terms, but nothing jumps out at me right at the moment. </span>

<span>Now, for the first part... </span>

<span>There are a few ways to attack this. Basically, you have to find the angle from the origin to the apogee (highest point) in the arc. Once we have that, we'll know what angle the momentum vector makes with the moment-arm because, at the apogee, we know that all of the motion is *horizontal*. </span>

<span>Okay, so let's get back to what we know: </span>

<span>L = d * m * v * cos(phi) </span>

<span>where d is the distance (length to the arm), m is mass, v is velocity, and phi is the angle the velocity vector makes with the arm. Let's take these one by one... </span>

<span>m is still m. </span>
<span>v is going to be the *hoizontal* component of the initial velocity (all the vertical component got eliminated by the acceleration of gravity). So, v = vi * cos(theta) </span>
<span>d is going to be half of our distance R in part two (because, ignoring friction, the path of the projectile is a perfect parabola). So, d = vi^2 * sin(2*theta) / 2g </span>

<span>That leaves us with phi, the angle the horizontal velocity vector makes with the moment arm. To find *that*, we need to know what the angle from the origin to the apogee is. We can find *that* by taking the arc-tangent of the slope, if we know that. Well, we know the "run" part of the slope (it's our "d" term), but not the rise. </span>

<span>The easy way to get the rise is by using conservation of energy. At the apogee, all of the *vertical* kinetic energy at the time of launch (1/2 * m * (vi * sin(theta))^2 ) has been turned into gravitational potential energy ( m * g * h ). Setting these equal, diving out the "m" and dividing "g" to the other side, we get: </span>

<span>h = 1/2 * (vi * sin(theta))^2 / g </span>

<span>So, there's the rise. So, our *slope* is rise/run, so </span>

<span>slope = [ 1/2 * (vi * sin(theta))^2 / g ] / [ vi^2 * sin(2*theta) / g ] </span>

<span>The "g"s cancel. Astoundingly the "vi"s cancel, too. So, we get: </span>

<span>slope = [ 1/2 * sin(theta)^2 ] / [ sin(2*theta) ] </span>

<span>(It's not too alarming that slope-at-apogee doesn't depend upon vi, since that only determines the "magnitude" of the arc, but not it's shape. Whether the overall flight of this thing is an inch or a mile, the arc "looks" the same). </span>

<span>Okay, so... using our double-angle trig identities, we know that sin(2*theta) = 2*sin(theta)*cos(theta), so... </span>

<span>slope = [ 1/2 * sin(theta)^2 ] / [ 2*sin(theta)*cos(theta) ] = tan(theta)/4 </span>

<span>Okay, so the *angle* (which I'll call "alpha") that this slope makes with the x-axis is just: arctan(slope), so... </span>

<span>alpha = arctan( tan(theta) / 4 ) </span>

<span>Alright... last bit. We need "phi", the angle the (now-horizontal) momentum vector makes with that slope. Draw it on paper and you'll see that phi = 180 - alpha </span>

<span>so, phi = 180 - arctan( tan(theta) / 4 ) </span>

<span>Now, we go back to our original formula and plug it ALL in... </span>

<span>L = d * m * v * cos(phi) </span>

<span>becomes... </span>

<span>L = [ vi^2 * sin(2*theta) / 2g ] * m * [ vi * cos(theta) ] * [ cos( 180 - arctan( tan(theta) / 4 ) ) ] </span>

<span>Now, cos(180 - something) = cos(something), so we can simplify a little bit... </span>

<span>L = [ vi^2 * sin(2*theta) / 2g ] * m * [ vi * cos(theta) ] * [ cos( arctan( tan(theta) / 4 ) ) ] </span>

A balloon is a sphere with a radius of 5.0 m. the force of air against the walls of the balloon is 45 n. what is the air pressur
Mazyrski [523]

The air pressure inside the balloon is: 0.1432 Pa

The formulas and procedures that we will use to solve this problem are:

  • a = 4 * π * r²
  • P = F/a

Where:

  • a = area of the sphere
  • r = radius
  • π = mathematical constant
  • P = Pressure
  • F = Force
  • a = surface area

Information about the problem:

  • r = 5.0 m
  • F = 45 N
  • 1 Pa = N/m²
  • 1 N = kg * m/s²
  • a=?
  • P=?

Using the formula of the sphere area we get:

a = 4 * π * r²

a = 4 * 3.1416 * (5.0 m)²

a = 314.16 m²

Applying the pressure formula we get:

P = F/a

P = 45 N/314.16 m²

P = 0.1432 Pa

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the force applied on the area of a surface.
