A sample of shale contains 0.03% 238U by weight. Calculate the number of spontaneous fissions in one day in a 106 kg pile of the

shale by determining the following quantities. The density of uranium is 19 g/cm3. The spontaneous fission activity rate is 0.69 fissions/(kg·s).

Answer:

a)mass = 300kg

b) no of atoms = 1.81 x 10^26atoms.

c)Fission Activity = 207Bq

d) no of fissions = 1.79 × 107 d^-1

Explanation:

a)mass= (3×10-4)(10^6kg) = 300kg

b) no of atoms = (300kg) X (6.022×10^23/kg) = 1.81 x 10^26atoms.

c)Fission Activity = (0.69)(300kg) = 207Bq

d) no of fissions = (207)(86400) = 1.79 × 107 d^-1

in general, what happens to the energy, order, and spacing of particles when a solid turns to a liquid?
vodka [1.7K]
For a solid to change its state of matter into  liquid, energy is applied or heat is being used. With a solid, particles are very compacted and still, with a liquid they are not as compacted but can still take a defined shape.

The take-up reel of a cassette tape has a radius of 2.5 cm. Find the length of the tape that passes around the reel in 7.1 s whe
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

s = 0.337 m

Explanation:

First, we will find the angular displacement of the reel:

\theta = \omega t

where,

θ = angular displacement = ?

ω = angular speed = 1.9 rad/s

t = time taken = 7.1 s

Therefore,

θ = (1.9\ rad/s)(7.1 s)

θ = 13.5 rad

Now, we will find out the length of tape:

s = rθ

where,

s = length of tape = ?

r = radius of reel = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Therefore,

s = (0.025 m)(13.5 rad)

<u>s = 0.337 m</u>
