Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".

Two points are on a disk turning at constant angular velocity. One point is on the rim and the other halfway between the rim and
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The point on the rim

Explanation:

All the points on the disk travels at the same angular speed \omega, since they cover the same angular displacement in the same time. Instead, the tangential speed of a point on the disk is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance of the point from the centre of the disk

As we can see, the tangential speed is directly proportional to the distance from the centre: so the point on the rim, having a larger r than the point halway between the rim and the axis, will have a larger tangential speed, and therefore will travel a greater distance in a given time.

A. The flow of energy from Earth's interior to the surface is about 50 terawatt (1 terawatt = 1e12 joule/sec). This is the energ
alisha [4.7K]

A) The amount of geothermal energy that reaches Earth's surface in one day is : 43.2 * 10¹⁷ joules

B) Humanity's current consumption of energy is; 71.4 GJ per individual.

C) Ratiois ; 60.5 * 10⁶ Joules

<u>Given data :</u>

Amount of energy flow = 50 terawatt =  50*10¹² joule/sec.

<h3>Determine the geothermal energy that reaches the earth</h3>

Since the geothermal energy reaches the earth in a single day

Energy = power * time

Time = 24 hours ( 1 day ) = 86400 secs.

Energy = 50*10¹² joule/sec * 86400 secs

            = 43.2 * 10¹⁷ joules

<h3 /><h3>B) Estimating humanity's current consumption of energy in one day.</h3>

Humanity's current consumption of energy in one day is estimated to be 71.4 GJ per individual.

<h3>C) Determine the ratio of geothermal energy to human's current annual consumption </h3>

Geothermal energy / human current annual consumption

= 43.2 * 10¹⁷ Joules / 71.4 * 10⁹ Jolues

= 60.5 * 10⁶ Joules

Hence we can conclude that A) The amount of geothermal energy that reaches Earth's surface in one day is : 43.2 * 10¹⁷ joules

B) Humanity's current consumption of energy is; 71.4 GJ per individual.

C) Ratiois ; 60.5 * 10⁶ Joules

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 323.4J

b) 0J

c) -323.4J

Explanation:

a) W=Fd

F=ma

solve for acc. using kinematics

v^2=vo^2+2a(x)

8.41=2a(12)

4.205=a(12)

0.35=a

F=(77)(0.35)

F=26.95N

W=26.95*12...... W=323.4J

b) No acceleration, thus no force, thus no work!

c) W=Fd

F=ma

find acc. using kinematics: v^2=vo^2+2a(x)

0=(2.9^2)+2a(12)

0=8.41+2a(12)

-8.41=2a(12)

-4.205=a(12)

-0.35=a

F=(77)(-0.35)

F=-26.95N

W=(-26.95)(12)

W=-323.4J

Yes, work can be negative!
