The fission of uranium can result in many different fission fragments. O True O False

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a radio active decay or a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus breaks or splits into lighter fragments or nuclei of comparable sizes.

The fission of Uranium-235 by absorbing a neutron which turns it into excited Uranium-236 which further splits into lighter nuclei releasing 3 neutrons and gamma rays.

The fission of Uranium - 235 results in fission fragments of Krypton-92 and Barium-141.

Why is sustainable use important?
marusya05 [52]
To make sure that we have enough resourses to sustain ourselves. You see, if we use up, say, all water on earth, then obviously we won't have any more and we'll die.

You set out to design a car that uses the energy stored in a flywheel consisting of a uniform 101-kg cylinder of radius r that h
Ket [755]
Ok, assuming "mj" in the question is Megajoules MJ) you need a total amount of rotational kinetic energy in the fly wheel at the beginning of the trip that equals
(2.4e6 J/km)x(300 km)=7.2e8 J
The expression for rotational kinetic energy is

E = (1/2)Iω²  

where I is the moment of inertia of the fly wheel and ω is the angular velocity.  
So this comes down to finding the value of I that gives the required energy.  We know the mass is 101kg.  The formula for a solid cylinder's moment of inertia is

 I = (1/2)mR²

We want (1/2)Iω² = 7.2e8 J and we know ω is limited to 470 revs/sec.  However, ω must be in radians per second so multiply it by 2π to get 
ω = 2953.1 rad/s
Now let's use this to solve the energy equation, E = (1/2)Iω²,  for I:
I = 2(7.2e8 J)/(2953.1 rad/s)² = 165.12 kg·m²

Now find the radius R,

 165.12 kg·m² = (1/2)(101)R²,
√(2·165/101) = 1.807m

R = 1.807m

Which is brighter in our sky, a star with apparent magnitude 2 or a star with apparent magnitude 7?
Lina20 [59]

The star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.

To find the answer, we have to know about apparent magnitude.

<h3>What is apparent magnitude?</h3>
  • 100 times as luminous as a star with an apparent brightness of 7 is a star with a magnitude of 2.
  • The apparent magnitude of bigger stars is always smaller.
  • The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius.
  • The brightness of a star or other celestial object perceived from Earth is measured in apparent magnitude (m).
  • The apparent magnitude of an object is determined by its inherent luminosity, its distance from Earth, and any light extinction brought on by interstellar dust in the path of the observer's line of sight.

Thus, we can conclude that, the star with apparent magnitude 2 is more brighter than 7.
