1. An observer stands 600 meters from the launch pad of a rocket, watches it ascend vertically at 100 m/s.
a. Find the rate of change of the distance between the rocket and the observer. (Hint: Use Pythagorean Theorem)
b. Find the distance between the observer and the rocket when the rocket is 400 meters high.
c. What is the rate of change of the distance between the rocket and the observer when the rocket is 400 meters high?
One example of a nuclear fission reaction involving slowly moving neutrons is
1/0n + 235/92 U ---> 236/92 U* ---> 95/42 Mo + 139/57 La + (2) 1/0n
What is the total kinetic energy (in eV) of the products of the reaction? The relevant masses are:
235/92 U = 235.043 924 u; 95/42 Mo - 94.9058 u; 139/59 La = 138.9061 u, and 1/0n = 1.0087u
