Q 32.35: The isotope 235U decays by alpha emission with a half-life of 7.0 x 108 y. It also decays (rarely) by spontaneous fissi

on, and if the alpha decay did not occur, its half-life due to spontaneous fission alone would be 3.0 x 1017 y. At what rate do spontaneous fission decays occur in 1.0 g of 235U

Answer:

rate of fission =5.89*10^3 1\Year

Explanation:

we know that

rate of fission is given as $rate of fission = \frac{0.69}{(T_{1/2})_{fission}} *\frac{ Mass* Avogardo\ number}{Molar\ mass}$

$(T_{1/2})_{fission} = 3*10^{17} y$

mass = 1.0 g

avogardo number = 6.02*10^23

molar mass of isotopes 235U =235

Putting all value to get rate of emission

rate of fission $= \frac{0.69}{3*10^{17}} *\frac{1.0*6.02*10^{23}}{235}$

rate of fission =5.89*10^3 1\Year

Two identical ladders are 3.0 m long and weigh 600 N each. They are connected by a hinge at the top and are held together by a h

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 281.60 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 3.0 m

Weight = 600 N

Distance = 1.0 m

Angle = 60°

Consider half of the ladder,

let tension be T, normal reaction force at ground be F, vertical reaction at top hinge be Y and horizontal reaction force be X.

$Y+F=600$ ....(I)

$X=T$ .....(II)

On taking moment about base

$X\times l\cos\theta+Y\times l\sin\theta-F\dfrac{l}{2}\sin\theta-T\times d=0$

Put the value into the formula

$X\times3\cos30+Y\times3\sin30-600\times1.5\sin30-T\times1=0$

$3\cos30 T-T=600\times1.5\sin30-Y \times3\sin30$

$1.598T=450-1.5(600-F)$ ....(III)

We need to calculate the force for ladder

$2F=600\trimes 2$

$F=600\ N$

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

From equation (3)

$1.598T=450-1.5(600-600)$

$1.598T=450$

$T=\dfrac{450}{1.598}$

$T=281.60\ N$

Hence, The tension in the rope is 281.60 N.

A 10. g cube of copper at a temperature T1 is placed in an insulated cup containing 10. g of water at a temperature T2. If T1 &g

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a. The temperature of the copper changed more than the temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Because we're only considering the isolated system cube-water, the heat of the system should be constant, that implies the heat the cube loses is equal the heat the water gains (because by zero law of thermodynamics heat (Q) flows from hot body to cold body until reach thermal equilibrium and T1>T2). So:

$Q_{cube}=Q_{water}$ (1)

But Q is related with mass (m), specific heat (c) and changes in temperature ( $\varDelta T$ )in the next way:

$Q=cm\varDelta T$ (2)

Using (2) on (1):

$c_{cooper}*m_{cooper}*\varDelta T_{cooper}=c_{water}*m_{waterer}*\varDelta T_{water}$

$(10g)(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(10g)(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})$

$(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})$

Because we have an equality and 0.385 < 4.186 then $\varDelta T_{cooper}>\varDelta T_{waterer}$ to conserve the equality
