Differentiate between sound waves and seismic waves?

The only real difference is that common seismic waves travel through the ground and sound waves travel through the air. If you had a pipe attached to granite and you were listening to it, you might detect both.

Seismic Waves travail under ground and Sound Waves travail trough the air.

Hope I could of help in any way.

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto

mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: <span>1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>

One of the waste products of a nuclear reactor is plutonium-239 . This nucleus is radioactive and decays by splitting into a hel

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s$

$v_{He-4} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s$

b) $E_{He-4} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J$

$E_{U-235} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J$

Explanation:

Searching the missed information we have:

E: is the energy emitted in the plutonium decay = 8.40x10⁻¹³ J

m(⁴He): is the mass of the helium nucleus = 6.68x10⁻²⁷ kg

m(²³⁵U): is the mass of the helium U-235 nucleus = 3.92x10⁻²⁵ kg

a) We can find the velocities of the two nuclei by conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy:

Linear momentum:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{Pu-239}v_{Pu-239} = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}$

Since the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest, $v_{Pu-239} = 0$ :

$0 = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}$

$v_{He-4} = -\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}}$ (1)

Kinetic Energy:

$E_{Pu-239} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$

$2*8.40 \cdot 10^{-13} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$

$1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$ (2)

By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:

$1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}(-\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}})^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$

$1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg})^{2} +3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}^{2}$

Solving the above equation for $v_{U-235}$ we have:

$v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s$

And by entering that value into equation (1):

$v_{He-4} = -\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s$

The minus sign means that the helium-4 nucleus is moving in the opposite direction to the uranium-235 nucleus.

b) Now, the kinetic energy of each nucleus is:

For He-4:

$E_{He-4} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s)^{2} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J$

For U-235:

$E_{U-235} = \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*(2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J$

I hope it helps you!
