What do nuclear scientists call a stick of uranium?

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>

a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1
evablogger [386]

From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

y = 54.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the relationship between the work of the friction force and mechanical energy.

Let's look for work

      W = -fr d

The negative sign is because Lafourcade rubs always opposes the movement

On the inclined part, of Newton's second law

Y Axis  

      N - W cos θ  = 0

The equation for the force of friction is

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ mg cos θ

We replace at work

     W = - μ m g cos θ  d

Mechanical energy in the lower part of the embankment

      Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

The mechanical energy in the highest part, where it stopped

     Em_{f} = U = m g y

     W = ΔEm =  Em_{f} - Em₀

    - μ m g d cos θ = m g y - ½ m v²

Distance d and height (y) are related by trigonometry

     sin θ = y / d

     y = d sin θ

   

    - μ m g d cos θ = m g d sin θ - ½ m v²

We calculate the distance traveled

     d (g syn θ + μ g cos θ) = ½ v²

     d = v²/2 g (sintea + myy cos tee)

     d = 9.8 12.6 2/2 9.8 (sin16 + 0.128 cos 16)

     d = 1555.85 /7.8145

     d = 199.1 m

Let's use trigonometry to find the height

      sin 16 = y / d

      y = d sin 16

      y = 199.1 sin 16

      y = 54.9 m

A wooden disk of mass m and radius r has a string of negligible mass is wrapped around it. If the disk is allowed to fall and th
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

T = \frac{mg}{3}

Explanation:

As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time

We have force equation as

mg - T = ma

also by torque equation we can say

TR = I\alpha

TR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{a}{R})

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

Now we have

mg - \frac{1}{2}ma = ma

mg = \frac{3}{2}ma

a = \frac{2}{3}g

Also from above equation the tension force in the string is

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

T = \frac{mg}{3}

A long cylindrical rod of diameter 200 mm with thermal conductivity of 0.5 W/m⋅K experiences uniform volumetric heat generation
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

a, 71.8° C, 51° C

b, 191.8° C

Explanation:

Given that

D(i) = 200 mm

D(o) = 400 mm

q' = 24000 W/m³

k(r) = 0.5 W/m.K

k(s) = 4 W/m.K

k(h) = 25 W/m².K

The expression for heat generation is given by

q = πr²Lq'

q = π . 0.1² . L . 24000

q = 754L W/m

Thermal conduction resistance, R(cond) = 0.0276/L

Thermal conduction resistance, R(conv) = 0.0318/L

Using energy balance equation,

Energy going in = Energy coming out

Which is = q, which is 754L

From the attachment, we deduce that the temperature between the rod and the sleeve is 71.8° C

At the same time, we find out that the temperature on the outer surface is 51° C

Also, from the second attachment, the temperature at the center of the rod was calculated to be, 191.8° C
