A neutron and a large nucleus.

In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

Starting at 48th Street, Dylan rides his bike due east on Meridian Road with the wind at his back. He rides for 20 min at 15 mph
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

55 min

Explanation:

The missing question is: how long does the trip take?

First of all, we need to find the initial distance covered by Dylan. In the first part, he rides for

t_1 = 20 min = \frac{1}{3}h

at a speed of

v = 15 mph

therefore, the distance he covered is

d = v t_1 = (15)(\frac{1}{3})=5 mi

Then Dylan stopped for a time of

t_2 = 5 min = \frac{5}{60}=\frac{1}{12}h

Finally, on the way back, Dylan covered again this distance but travelling at a new speed of

v = 10 mph

So, the time he took is

t_3 = \frac{d}{v}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}h = 30 min

So, the total time of the trip was

t=t_1 + t_2 + t_3 = 20 min + 5 min + 30 min = 55 min

Which equation represents mass-energy equivalence? E = m2c E = mc2 E = (mc)2 E = mc
motikmotik

Einstein's energy mass equivalence relation say that if the whole given mass is converted to energy then it would be

E = mc^2

where

m = mass in kg

c = speed of light in m/s

this is the origination of quantum physics and by this formula we can relate the dual nature of light and particle

So correct relation above will be

E = mc^2

Just after a motorcycle rides off the end of a ramp and launches into the air, its engine is turning counterclockwise at 8325 re
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

\frac{Ie}{lm} = 1.10*10^{-3}

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Engine operating speed nf = 8325 rev/min

engine angular speed ni= 12125 rev/min

motorcycle angular speed N_m= - 4.2 rev/min

ratio of moment of inertia of engine to motorcycle is given as

\frac{Ie}{lm} = \frac{-N}{(nf-ni)}

\frac{Ie}{lm} = \frac{-(-4.2)}{(12125 - (8325))}

\frac{Ie}{lm} = 1.10*10^{-3}
