Density of Solids

The density of a substance refers to how much matter is present in a given amount of space. It is expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to its volume.

Question

q24

As part of the SLE123 assignment, one group makes a manometer using olive oil because it is much less hazardous than mercury.

density of mercury = 13 600 kg/m³
density of olive oil = 917 kg/m³

Briefly comment on the effectiveness of the olive-oil manometer compared to a normal mercury manometer, and any challenges making one.

Hint: In your answer, make sure that the comment is related to a physics principle covered in this unit.

Pd Pd 1. Let's consider a toy model of nuclear fission. Suppose an nucleus of Uranium-235 (92 protons, molar weight of 235 g/mole) "splits" into two "daughter" nuclei of Palladium (46 protons each) – this is not how it really happens, but it's a very simple model that actually gives fairly accurate results. The radius of the original U-235 nucleus is about 7.4 x 10-15 m. (a) If the Pd nuclei each have half the volume of the U nucleus, which is reasonable, and they are "touching" right after the split, how far apart are their centers? (b) Using conservation of energy, what will be the sum of the kinetic energies of the Pd nuclei when they are far apart from each other? (c) That's energy of one atom undergoing fission, so what, then, is the energy released by the fission of 1 kg of U-235? Express this in Joules and also in kilotons of TNT, where 1 kt = 4.2x1012 J.

A water droplet evaporates before they reach the ground. ond ord Figure 1: Water droplets [source] In this situation, a few assumptions are made: a) At initial point, a typical water droplet is in sphere shape with radius r and remain spherical while evaporating. b) The rate of evaporation (when it loses mass (m)) is proportional to the surface area, S. There is no air-resistance and downward direction is the positive direction. quat To describe this problem, given that p is the mass density of water, rois the radius of water before it drops, m is the water mass, V is the water volume andk is the constant of proportionality.
