Explain how neutrons enable a nuclear chain reaction to take place. (2)
Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

In addition to the 'daughter' products, two or three neutrons also explode out of the fission reaction and these can then collide with other uranium nuclei which are unstable so these cause further fission reactions. This is known as a chain reaction .

Hope this helps

A uniform string of length 10.0 m and weight 0.32 N is attached to the ceiling. A weight of 1.00 kN hangs from its lower end. Th
Juliette [100K]

Answer: 0.0180701 s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length of string (L) = 10 m

Weight of string (W) = 0.32 N

Weight attached to lower end = 1kN = 1×10^3

Using the relation:

Time (t) = √ (weight of string * Length) / weight attached to lower end * acceleration due to gravity

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Weight of string = 0.32N

Time(t) = √ (0.32 * 10) / [(1*10^3) * (9.8)]

Time = √3.2 / 9800

= √0.0003265

= 0.0180701s

Nerve cells transmit electric signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a sudden rush of Na+ ions
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

I = \frac{9.12x10^{-8} C}{0.007 s}= 1.30285 x10^{-5} \frac{C}{s}=1.30285 x10^{-5} A = 13.02 \mu A

Explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

Number of Na+ ions 5.7 x10^{11} ions

Each ion have a charge of +e and the crage of the electron is 1.6 x10^{-19}C

The time is given t = 7 ms if we convert this into seconds we got:

t = 7ms * \frac{1s}{1000 ms}= 0.007s

Now we can use the following formula given from the current passing thourhg a meter of nerve axon given by:

Q = Ne

Where N represent the number of ions, e the charge of the electron and Q the total charge

If we replace on this case we have this:

Q= 5.7x10^{11} * (1.6 x10^{-19}C) = 9.12x10^{-8} C

And from the general definition of current we know that:

I =\frac{Q}{t}

And since we know the total charge Q and the time we can replace:

I = \frac{9.12x10^{-8} C}{0.007 s}= 1.30285 x10^{-5} \frac{C}{s}=1.30285 x10^{-5} A = 13.02 \mu A

The current during the inflow charge in the meter axon for this case is 13.02 \mu A

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.
