A runner averages 8 minutes and 25 seconds per mile. What is her average velocity in miles per hour?

In order for fission reactions to be successful, they must be self-perpetuating, meaning they must be able to keep themselves go

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The minimum amount of material that is needed for a fission reaction to keep going is called the critical mass.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the term used to describe the breakdown of the nucleus of a parent isotope into daughter nuclei.

Normally, the initial energy supplied for nuclear fission is the energy to initiate the first breakdown of the first set of radioactive isotopes that breakdown. Once that happens, the energy released from the first breakdown is enough to drive further breakdown of numerous isotopas in a manner that leads to more energy generation.

But, for this to be able to be sustained and not fizzle out, a particular amount of radioactive material to undergo nuclear fission must be present. This particular amount is termed 'critical mass'

Hope this Helps!!!

The nuclear equation is incomplete. Superscript 239 Subscript 94 Baseline P u + Superscript 1 Subscript 0 Baseline n yields Supe

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The correct option is the first option

Explanation:

The equation described in the question is shown below

²³⁹₉₄Pu +¹₀n ⇒ ¹⁰⁰₄₀Zr + blank + 2¹₀n

This equation is a nuclear fission because it involves the splitting of a heavy nucleus, Plutonium (Pu), into smaller nuclei, Zirconium (Zr) and an unknown nuclei.

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed hence in other to get the missing atom, we must know the total number of subscripts (mass number) and superscripts (atomic number) on both sides.

The total mass number on the reactant side is 239 + 1 = 240

The total atomic number on the reactant side is 94 + 0 = 94

While, The total mass number on the product side is 100 + 2(1) = 102

The total atomic number on the product side is 40 + 2(0) = 40

To determine the missing atom, you subtract the the total atomic number of the product from that on the reactant side; 94 - 40 = 54

The atom with the atomic number 54 is Xenon,

To determine the mass number of the xenon isotope involved, you subtract the the total mass number of the product from that on the reactant side; 240 - 102 = 138.

Hence, the particle that completes the equation is ¹³⁸₅₄Xe, the first option

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = $\lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m$

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js$

c = Speed of the light = $3\times 10^8 m/s$

$E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}$

$E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

If a car travels 1255 miles how many kilometers is that i mile = 1.609km

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

2,019 km

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Distance traveled by the car (D): 1,255 mi

Step 2: Convert the distance traveled by the car to kilometers

To convert one unit into another, we use a conversion factor. In this case, the appropriate conversion factor between miles and kilometers is 1 mile = 1.609 km. The distance traveled by the car, in kilometers, is:

D = 1,255 mi × (1.609 km/1 mi) = 2,019 km
