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

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.

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

This is a statement but yes a star forms inside nebulae which are gigantic clouds of gas. stars form inside as the gases own gravity pulls it together after which it becomes large enough to perform fusion and become a star.

Explain the law of conservation of momentum.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

It says that momentum cannot be created or destroyed. Momentum just passes through systems as opposed to just disappearing in thin air. Momentum can be changed to heat or energy.

I'm completely lost in physics, the Kinematics and dynamics units.. My exam is coming up.. If a biker travelling at 6.4m/s sees
Alexeev081 [22]
D=rt
when biker A catches biker B, the time they've been riding is the same, so 
t=t, or d/r=d/r
the rates are 6.4 and 4.7, so
d/6.4=d/4.7
biker B is 34m ahead, so 
(d+34)/6.4=d/4.7
multiply both sides by 6.4*4.7:
4.7(d+34)=6.4d
4.7d+=6.4d+159.8
1.7d=159.8
d=94 meters

Another way to think of it is that biker A gains 1.7 meters on B every second (6.4-4.7=1.5), so the time it'll take for him to gain 34 meters is 34/1.7=20 seconds. In that time, biker B travels 4.7*20=94 meters
