The trip from Camp Wood to the Pacific Ocean and back again took 1.5 years to complete.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition from May 1804 to September 1806, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the first American expedition to cross what is now the western portion of the United States.

What are the characteristics of prokaryotes?

Lelu [443]

Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.

One of the waste products of a nuclear reactor is plutonium-239 . This nucleus is radioactive and decays by splitting into a hel

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s$

$v_{He-4} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s$

b) $E_{He-4} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J$

$E_{U-235} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J$

Explanation:

Searching the missed information we have:

E: is the energy emitted in the plutonium decay = 8.40x10⁻¹³ J

m(⁴He): is the mass of the helium nucleus = 6.68x10⁻²⁷ kg

m(²³⁵U): is the mass of the helium U-235 nucleus = 3.92x10⁻²⁵ kg

a) We can find the velocities of the two nuclei by conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy:

Linear momentum:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{Pu-239}v_{Pu-239} = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}$

Since the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest, $v_{Pu-239} = 0$ :

$0 = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}$

$v_{He-4} = -\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}}$ (1)

Kinetic Energy:

$E_{Pu-239} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$

$2*8.40 \cdot 10^{-13} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$

$1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$ (2)

By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:

$1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}(-\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}})^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}$

$1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg})^{2} +3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}^{2}$

Solving the above equation for $v_{U-235}$ we have:

$v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s$

And by entering that value into equation (1):

$v_{He-4} = -\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s$

The minus sign means that the helium-4 nucleus is moving in the opposite direction to the uranium-235 nucleus.

b) Now, the kinetic energy of each nucleus is:

For He-4:

$E_{He-4} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s)^{2} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J$

For U-235:

$E_{U-235} = \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*(2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J$

I hope it helps you!

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.4 kg saturated liquid water at 200oC. Now heat is transferred to the water until t

postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of saturated liquid water $m=1.4\ kg$

at $200^{\circ}$ specific volume is $\nu =0.001157\ m^3\kg$ (From Table A-4,Saturated water Temperature table)

$V_1=m\nu _1$

$V_1=1.4\times 0.001157$

$V_1=1.6198\times 10^{-3}\ m^3$

Final Volume $V_2=4V_1$

$V_2=4\times (1.6198\times 10^{-3})$

$V_2=6.4792\times 10^{-3}\ m^3$

Specific volume at this stage

$\nu _2=\frac{V_2}{m}$

$\nu _2=\frac{6.4792\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$\nu _2=0.004628\ m^3/kg$

Now we see the value and find the temperature it corresponds to specific volume at vapor stage in the table.

$T_2=T_1^{*}+\frac{T_2^{*}-T_1^{*}}{\alpha _2^{*}-\alpha _1^{*}}\times (\alpha _2-\alpha _1^{*})$

$T_2=370^{\circ}+\frac{373.95-370}{0.003106-0.004953}\times (0.004628-0.004953)$

$T_2=370.7^{\circ} C$

strojnjashka [21]

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) react in a beaker. They form potassium chloride (KCl) and water (H2O). This type of reaction is a double replacement reaction wherein the two principal reactants exchange after the reaction. The Cl will combine to the K forming KCl and the H will add to the OH forming H2O.
