Why does a mountain of uranium not explode as a bomb? ​

Physics

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 football is kicked from the ground with a velocity of 38m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and eventually lands at the same height.
Anastasy [175]

Initially, the velocity vector is \langle 38cos(40^{\circ}),38sin(40^{\circ}) \rangle=\langle 29.110, 24.426 \rangle. At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by 4.9(0.2)^2, so the velocity is \langle 29.110, 24.426-0.196 \rangle = \langle 29.110, 24.23 \rangle.

Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get \langle r,\theta \rangle=\langle \sqrt{29.11^2+24.23^2},tan^{-1}(\frac{29.11}{24.23}) \rangle = \langle 37.87,50.2^{\circ}\rangle

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

Zoe is shown two mystery boxes that are both 8,000cm3. Her teacher tells her that one mystery box is filled with rocks and the o
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.

Explanation:

The density of rocks is very large as compared with napkins. So, the weight of the rocks will be much more greater than that of napkins.

As both boxes have same volume the heavier box will show depression on the lower surface as compared to the lighter box. So, the box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.

Q:
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

We will use the KE equation you wrote here and fill in what we are given:

36=\frac{1}{2}m(12)^2 and isolating the m:

m=\frac{2(36)}{12^2} which gives us

m = .50 kg
