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

Which of the following units would need to be converted before being used for a calculation?
Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

To do this, one uses a conversion factor. In mathematics, specifically algebra, a conversion factor is used to convert a measured quantity to a different unit of measure without changing the relative amount. To accomplish this, a ratio ( fraction ) is established that equals one (1).

Rupert (66 kg) is now in a full-pipe of radius 25 m, calculate the minimum speed at which Rupert can skate to ensure he will not
V125BC [204]

at the top most point if Rupert will not fall then normal force at the top point is almost zero for minimum speed

so here we can say

F_n + mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

now if

F_n = 0

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{25 \times 9.8}

v = 15.65 m/s

so above will be the minimum speed

A 32.5 g cube of aluminum initially at 45.8 °C is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 °C. What is the final temperature of b
lakkis [162]

Answer:

T = 17.26 ^oC

Explanation:

At thermal equilibrium we have heat given by aluminium must be equal to the heat absorbed by the water

so we will have

Q_1 = Q_2

m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2

so we will have

32.5(900)(45.8 - T) = 105.3(4186)(T - 15.4)

so we have

(45.8 - T) = 15.1(T - 15.4)

so we have

16.1 T = 277.87

T = 17.26 ^oC

Humans obtain energy in a number of different ways. About half of the electrical energy in the U.S. is generated by burning coal
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]
