One of the waste products of a nuclear reactor is plutonium-239 (239 pu). This nucleus is radioactive and decays by splitting into a helium-4 nucleus and a uranium-235 nucleus (He + 235U), the latter of which is also radioactive and will itself decay some time later. The energy emitted in the plutonium decay is 8.40 x 10-13 J and is entirely converted to kinetic energy of the helium and uranium nuclei. The mass of the helium nucleus is 6.68 x 10-27 kg, while that of the uranium is 3.92 x 10-25 kg (note that the ratio of the masses is 4 to 235). (a) Calculate the velocities of the two nuclei, assuming the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest. (Enter the magnitude of the velocities in m/s.) He U m/s m/s (b) How much kinetic energy in joules does each nucleus carry away? Note that the data given here are accurate to three digits only. He U
A block of mass 100 g, resting on a frictionless surface, is pushed up against a spring compressing it and doing work of 20 J on it. When the block is released, the spring exerts a force on it and causing it to accelerate. The speed of the block as it loses contact with the spring is a. 5 m/s b. 10 m/s c. 15 m/s d. 20 m/s e. There is insufficient information to determine the speed of the block.
An object with mass m1 = 2m which moves on horizontal surface with constant speed v, collides with an object with mass m2 = 3m, which was initially at rest. After the collision the two objects stick together and continue to move until they compress a spring with force constant k. What is the speed of the compound object with mass (m1 +m2), when the spring is compressed by a distance I? O a. b. 40 kz 5m O C. 4mu 3k d. 202 -ka2 2mu 5k kr 5m е.
A 0.017-kg bullet is fired into a stationary block of wood of mass of 5.5 kg. The relative speed of the bullet with respect to the wood is zero after collision (The bullet becomes embedded on the block of wood). If the speed of the bullet before collision is 477 m/s, what is the kinetic energy of the bullet-plus-wood combination right after the collision? Assume no change in the potential energy of the system before and after the collision. Express your answer in two decimal places, in Joules.

A teacher attending a meeting decided to check what would happen with kinetic mercy if she changed the momentum. She decided to conduct an experiment using a dynamics cart. The student measured the speed of the cart as she released it from inclined surfaces with different slopes. She was able to increase the momentum by a factor of 17. By what factor did the kinetic energy change.
