1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.

Force , F = ma

F =  m(v - u)/t               

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg,  u = 10 m/s,  v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F =  1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = +5.00 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = -2.00 nC and is at x = 5.00 c
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

q₁= +0.5nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q3 is close to three other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

To solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:

Two point charges (q1, q2) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:

o solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:  

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:  

F=K*q₁*q₂/d² Formula (1)  

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁,q₂:Charges in Coulombs (C)  

d: distance between the charges in meters

Data:

Equivalences

1nC= 10⁻⁹ C

1cm= 10⁻² m

Data

q₃=+5.00 nC =+5* 10⁻⁹ C

q₂= -2.00 nC =-2* 10⁻⁹ C

d₂= 5.00 cm= 5*10⁻² m

d₁= 2.50 cm=  2.5*10⁻² m

k = 8.99*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Calculation of magnitude and sign of q1

Fn₃=0 : net force on q3 equals zero

F₂₃:The force F₂₃ that exerts q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs,in direction +x.

F₁₃:The force F₂₃ that exerts q₂ on q₃ must go in the -x direction so that Fn₃ is zero, therefore q₁ must be positive and F₂₃ is repulsive.

We propose the algebraic sum of the forces on q₃

F₂₃ - F₁₃=0

\frac{k*q_{2} *q_{3} }{d_{2}^{2}  } -\frac{k*q_{1} *q_{3} }{d_{1}^{2}  }=0

We eliminate k*q₃ of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{d_{1}^{2}  } = \frac{q_{2} }{d_{2}^{2}  }

q_{1} =\frac{q_{2} *d_{1} ^{2} }{d_{2}^{2}  }

q_{1} =\frac{2*10^{-9}*2.5^{2}*10^{-4}   }{5^{2}*10^{-4}  }

q₁= +0.5*10⁻⁹ C

q₁= +0.5nC

1) A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 8 m/s at a rate of 9 m3/s. Determine the minimum power that must be sup
azamat

Answer:

\dot{W} = 339.84 W

Explanation:

given data:

flow Q = 9 m^{3}/s

velocity = 8 m/s

density of air = 1.18 kg/m^{3}

minimum power required to supplied to the fan is equal to the POWER POTENTIAL of the kinetic energy and it is given as

\dot{W} =\dot{m}\frac{V^{2}}{2}

here \dot{m}is mass flow rate and given as

\dot{m} = \rho*Q

\dot{W} =\rho*Q\frac{V^{2}}{2}

Putting all value to get minimum power

\dot{W} =1.18*9*\frac{8^{2}}{2}

\dot{W} = 339.84 W

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

On a warm summer day (31 ∘c), it takes 4.60 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. on a winter day, it takes 5.00 s
xenn [34]
The question is missing, but I guess the problem is asking for the distance between the cliff and the source of the sound.

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of sound at temperature of T=31^{\circ}C:
v=(331+0.60 T) m/s = (331+0.6 \cdot 31) m/s = 349.6 m/s

The sound wave travels from the original point to the cliff and then back again to the original point in a total time of t=4.60 s. If we call L the distance between the source of the sound wave and the cliff, we can write (since the wave moves by uniform motion):
v= \frac{2L}{t}
where v is the speed of the wave, 2L is the total distance covered by the wave and t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate L, the distance between the source of the sound and the cliff:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(349.6 m/s)/4.60 s)}{2}=  804.1 m
