They call it "rod" or "fission rod". This is because the uranium is the element used for the nuclear fission, where the uranium nuclei disintegrate producing lighter nuclei and energy.

<span>Uranium is material that has 92 protons and 92 electrons with a valence of 6. The chemical is highly used in the nuclear fission for creating nuclear weapons and ends up as radioactive waste which got its own issues of disposal. As it is used in nuclear reactor, nuclear scientist calls the stick of uranium as a fission rod.</span>

As a freely falling object picks up downward speed, what happens to the power supplied by the gravitational force?
vitfil [10]

We will start from the definition of power in terms of the Force. Power could be described as the change of energy in an instant of time. Considering that Energy is the product between the Force and the distance traveled we would arrive at the expression

P = \frac{E}{t}

P = \frac{F*h}{t}

Here,

F = Force

h = Height

t = Time

As there is no external force, apart from the force of gravity, and this, is constant during the course of the object we will also have to be constant power and therefore this during its course will be the same. The correct answer is (1)

The gravitational force between two asteroids is 6.2 × 108 n. asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z. if the distance
SOVA2 [1]
Let m =  mass of asteroid y.
Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.

Given:
F = 6.2x10⁸ N
d = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ m
Note that
G = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)

The gravitational force between the asteroids is
F = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)
or
m² = (3Fd²)/G
     = [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))
    = 1.229x10³² kg²
m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)

Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg

AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
