In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

A particle (m = 4.3 × 10^-28 kg) starting from rest, experiences an acceleration of 2.4 × 10^7 m/s^2 for 5.0 s. What is its de B

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, $m=4.3\times 10^{-28}\ kg$

Acceleration of the particle, $a=2.4\times 10^7\ m/s^2$

Time, t = 5 s

It starts from rest, u = 0

The De Broglie wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}$

v = a × t

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mat}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4.3\times 10^{-28}\times 2.4\times 10^7\times 5}$

$\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a person pushes thumbtack that is 1/5 centimeter long into a bulletin board, and the force (in dynes) exerted when the d

mario62 [17]

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

$W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx$

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm

What force, in newtons, must you exert on the balloon with your hands to create a gauge pressure of 62.5 cm H2O, if you squeeze

yulyashka [42]

Answer:54.70 N

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of $62.5 cm of H_2O$

i.e. $h=62.5 cm =0.625 m$

Effective area $A=51 cm^2$

initial Pressure $= 1 atm=101.325 kPa$

Gauge Pressure $P=\rho gh$

$\rho =density\ of\ water =1000 kg/m^3$

$P_{gauge}=1000\times 9.8\times 0.625=5.937 kPa$

Force creates a pressure of $P_1$ which will be equal to Gauge Pressure

$P_1=\frac{F}{A}$

$P_1=P_{gauge}$

$\frac{F}{A}=5.937 kPa$

$F=5.937\times 51\times 10^{-4}\times 10^3$

$F=30.27 N$

A car travels 10.0 m/s. What is its velocity in km/h?

Vitek1552 [10]

Since 1m/s=3.6 km/h, we can conclude that 10.0m/s = 36 km/h
