Answer:
Element C will be best for a nuclear fission reaction
Explanation:
Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of a heavy atom by bombarding it with a nuclear particle. The reaction leads to the the atom splitting into two smaller elements and a huge amount of energy is liberated in the process. For the reaction to be continuous in a chain reaction, the best choice of element to use as fuel for the reaction should be the element whose nucleus also liberates a neutron particle after fission. The neutron that is given off by other atoms in the reaction will then proceed to bombard other atoms of the element in the reaction, creating a cascade of fission and bombardment within the nuclear reactor.
A body moves due north with velocity 40 m/s. A force is applied
on it and the body continues to move due north with velocity 35 m/s. W. .What is the direction of rate of change of momentum,if it takes
some time for that change and what is the direction of applied
external force?
Answer:
the direction of rate of change of the momentum is against the motion of the body, that is, downward.
The applied force is also against the direction of motion of the body, downward.
Explanation:
The change in the momentum of a body, if the mass of the body is constant, is given by the following formula:
[tex]\Delta p=\Delta (mv)\\\\\Delta p=m\Delta v[/tex]
p: momentum
m: mass
[tex]\Delta v[/tex]: change in the velocity
The sign of the change in the velocity determines the direction of rate of change. Then you have:
[tex]\Delta v=v_2-v_1[/tex]
v2: final velocity = 35m/s
v1: initial velocity = 40m/s
[tex]\Delta v =35m/s-40m/s=-5m/s[/tex]
Hence, the direction of rate of change of the momentum is against the motion of the body, that is, downward.
The applied force is also against the direction of motion of the body, downward.
A 60-kg skier is stationary at the top of a hill. She then pushes off and heads down the hill with an initial speed of 4.0 m/s. Air resistance and the friction between the skis and the snow are both negligible. How fast will she be moving after she is at the bottom of the hill, which is 10 m in elevation lower than the hilltop
Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v = 8.85 m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the skier is [tex]m_s = 60 \ kg[/tex]
The initial speed is [tex]u = 4.0 \ m/s[/tex]
The height is [tex]h = 10 \ m[/tex]
According to the law of energy conservation
[tex]PE_t + KE_t = KE_b + PE_b[/tex]
Where [tex]PE_t[/tex] is the potential energy at the top which is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]PE_t = mg h[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]PE_t = 60 * 4*9.8[/tex]
[tex]PE_t = 2352 \ J[/tex]
And [tex]KE_t[/tex] is the kinetic energy at the top which equal to zero due to the fact that velocity is zero at the top of the hill
And [tex]KE_b[/tex] is the kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill which is mathematically represented as
[tex]KE_b = 0.5 * m * v^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]KE_b = 0.5 * 60 * v^2[/tex]
=> [tex]KE_b = 30 v^2[/tex]
Where v is the velocity at the bottom
And [tex]PE_b[/tex] is the potential energy at the bottom which equal to zero due to the fact that height is zero at the bottom of the hill
So
[tex]30 v^2 = 2352[/tex]
=> [tex]v^2 = \frac{2352}{30}[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2352}{30}}[/tex]
[tex]v = 8.85 m/s[/tex]
Answer:
The Skier's velocity at the bottom of the hill will be 18m/s
Explanation:
This is simply the case of energy conversion between potential and kinetic energy. Her potential energy at the top of the hill gets converted to the kinetic energy she experiences at the bottom.
That is
[tex]mgh = 0.5 mv^{2}[/tex]
solving for velocity, we will have
[tex]v= \sqrt{2gh}[/tex]
hence her velocity will be
[tex]v=\sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 10}=14.00m/s[/tex]
This is the velocity she gains from the slope.
Recall that she already has an initial velocity of 4m/s. It is important to note that since velocities are vector quantities, they can easily be added algebraically. Hence, her velocity at the bottom of the hill is 4 + 14 = 18m/s
The Skier's velocity at the bottom of the hill will be 18m/s
What is the gravitational potential energy of a ball of mass 2.00 kg which is tossed to a height of 13.0 m above the ground? Answer in J, taking the potential energy to be 0.00 J at the ground.
Answer:
I believe the answer is 254.8 J, or rounded 255 J.
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is:
PE=m(h)g
This means the mass (m) times height (h) times gravity (m). Gravity is 9.8 m/s (meters per second). Putting all of the numbers into it would equal:
PE=2(13)9.8
This equals 254.8 exactly, or if the assignment calls for you to round, 255.

Answer:
[tex]q=4\times 10^{-16}\ C[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
The charge on an object is 2500 e.
We need to find how many coulombs in the object. The charge remains quantized. It says that :
q = ne
[tex]q=2500\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\\\\q=4\times 10^{-16}\ C[/tex]
So, the charge on the object is [tex]4\times 10^{-16}\ C[/tex].
