750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate

a chain reaction. If there is currently 50kg of U-235 present in Oklo, how much must have been present 750 million years ago when the reaction took place?

<span>With a half-life of 700 million years, U-235 would have had twice as much mass at a time 700 MYA. This would have put the mass at 100kg at that time. Going back another 50 million years would be (50/700) or 1/14 of the half-life, or (1/2 * 1/14), or 1/28 of the total mass. 1/28 of 100kg is 3.57kg, so the amount present at the 750MYA mark would be approximately 103.57kg of U-235.</span>

A 1300-kg car moving on a horizontal surface has speed v = 60 km/h when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is brought to
slega [8]

The stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m

<h3> Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

U = K.E

¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²

kx² = mv²

k = mv²/x²

where;

  • m is mass
  • v is speed = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
  • x is the distance

k = (1300 x 16.67²)/(2.3²)

k = 68,290.3 N/m

Thus, the stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m.

Where is the sun's energy most concentrated
Maru [420]

B. At the equator

Explanation:

The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.

The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator (0^{\circ}), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.

Which restricted basin has the coolest temperatures?
sattari [20]

Hudson Bay is the  restricted basin that has the coolest temperatures

Hudson Bay is a restricted basin which  remains frozen or is dominated by ice over the summer solstice and through- out much of the high-sun season. This basin experiences a harsh continental climate.

The average annual temperature in almost the entire bay is around 0 °C (32 °F) or below. In the extreme northeast, winter temperatures average as low as −29 °C or −20.2 °F. The region of this basin has very low year-round average temperatures.

This basin starts freezing up by early November, and the northern part of the basin is typically entirely iced over by the end of the month.

correct answer is Hudson bay
