- Your answer is partially correct. The temperature near the surface of the earth is 297 K. A xenon atom (atomic mass = 131.29 u) has a kinetic energy equal to the average translational kinetic energy and is moving straight up. If the atom does not collide with any other atoms or molecules, then how high up would it go before coming to rest? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is constant during the ascent.

First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.

Question

**Physics Problem: Kinetic Energy and Motion of a Xenon Atom**

**Problem Statement:**

The temperature near the surface of the Earth is 297 K. A xenon atom (atomic mass = 131.29 u) has a kinetic energy equal to the average translational kinetic energy and is moving straight up. If the atom does not collide with any other atoms or molecules, how high up would it go before coming to rest? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is constant during the ascent.

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.
