<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded.  The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.

ruslelena [56]

Answer: a) ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n

b) ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.

a) The given reaction is ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + x^{1}_{0}n

Now,  as the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:

235+1=87+146+x

x=3

Thus three neutrons are produced and nuclear equation will be: ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n

b) For the another fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{A}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{Z}\textrm{X}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 2

A = 140

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = 56 + Z + 0

Z = 36

As Krypton has atomic number of 36,Thus the nuclear equation will be :

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

An electron emitted from a filament is travelling at 1.5 x 105 m/s when it enters an acceleration of an electron gun in a televi
Crank

Answer:

The acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the emitted electron, u = 1.5 x 10⁵ m/s

distance traveled by the electron, d = 0.01 m

final velocity of the electron, v = 5.4 x 10⁶ m/s

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

(5.4 x 10⁶)² = (1.5 x 10⁵)² + (2 x 0.01)a

(2 x 0.01)a = (5.4 x 10⁶)² - (1.5 x 10⁵)²

(2 x 0.01)a = 2.91375 x 10¹³

a = \frac{2.91375 \ \times \ 10^{13}}{2 \ \times \ 0.01} \\\\a = 1.457 \ \times \ 10^{15} \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².
