The naturally occurring radioisotope which is used as the fuel for a nuclear reactor is the Uranium-235. It has been said that one kilogram of Uranium-235 can theoretically male about 20 terajoules of energy when used as a fuel for power plants.

A uranium and iron atom reside a distance R = 37.50 nm apart. The uranium atom is singly ionized; the iron atom is doubly ionize
postnew [5]

Answer:

r=15.53 nm

F=9.57\times 10^{-13}N

Explanation:

Lets take electron is in between iron and uranium

Charge on electronq_1= -1.602\times 10^{-19}C

Charge on ironq_2= 2\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}C

Charge on uraniumq_3= 1.602\times 10^{-19}C

We know that force between two charge

F=K\dfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}  

K=9\times 10^9\dfrac{N-m^2}{c^2}

For equilibrium force between electron and iron should be force between electron and  uranium

Lets take distance between electron and  uranium is r so distance between electron and iron will be 37.5-r nm

Now by balancing the force

K\dfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=K\dfrac{q_1 q_3}{(37.5-r)^2}  

K\dfrac{q_1q_2}{(37.5-r)^2}=K\dfrac{q_1 q_3}{r^2}  

q_2= 2\timesq_1,q_3=q_1

\dfrac{q_1\times 2\timesq_1}{r^2}=\dfrac{q_1\times q_1}{(37.5-r)^2}

So r=15.53 nm

So force

F=9\times 10^9\dfrac{1.602\times 10^{-19}\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}}{(15.53\times 10^{-9})^2}  

F=9.57\times 10^{-13}N

Gauss's law is usualy written as :
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

(a) the net charge inside the closed surface.

Explanation:

In Gauss' Law, Qencl refers to the net charge inside the Gaussian surface. This surface is usually taken as a symmetric geometric surface, but this is merely for simplicity. Gauss' Law holds for any closed surface. Inside this surface there can be insulators as well as conductors. Regardless of the geometry or the materials inside, Qencl refers to the net charge inside the closed surface. The charge outside the surface is irrelevant for Gauss' Law, therefore all the charge in the physical system is not included in Gauss' Law.

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:  

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that  protects  the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism  is  for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.

Irina rode her bike to work at an average speed of 16 miles per hour. It started to rain, so she got a ride home along the same
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.7 hours

Explanation:

From the way back, we can calculate the distance between Irina's work and Irina's home. In fact, we know that the car takes 0.4 hourse traveling at 27 mph, so the distance covered should be

d=vt=(27 mph)(0.4 h)=10.8 mi

When Irina rides to work with her bike, she travels at a speed of 16 mph. So we can find the time she takes by dividing the total distance (10.8 miles) by her speed:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{10.8 mi}{16 mph}=0.7 h
