Part A In the fall of 2002, a group of scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60.0 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm³.

Assume that the board you used was covered with two materials, material 1 and material 2. If the height where the wooden block started to slide down is higher on material 2 than on material 1, what can we say about the μs and μk associated with material 2 as compared to material 1? a. μs and μk on material 2 is higher than on material 1b. μs and μk on material 1 is higher than on material 2c. μs on material 2 is higher than on material 1, but μk material 1 is higher than on material 2d. μs on material 1 is higher than on material 2, but μk material 2 is higher than on material 1e. Regarless of any height, μs and μk is same on material 1 and material 2
Please help. This problem involves finding the radius and volume of a platinum atom using its density. Thank you.
How does a nuclear reactor produce energy? O Atoms, such as uranium, undergo fusion in a reactor. This generates heat which turns water to steam in a turbine which generates electricity. Atoms, such as uranium, undergo fission in a reactor. This generates heat which turns water to steam in a turbine which generates electricity. O Atoms, such as uranium, burn in a reactor. This generates heat which turns water to steam in a turbine which generates electricity. O We do not currently have the technology to harness nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
A student measures the mass of an object with a scale several times, resulting in an average mass m = 11.29 grams. Another student points out that the scale was not “zeroed”, or calibrated to read zero mass with no object on it, before the object was weighed. Without a load, the scale reads 0.08 grams. No one has used the scale since the last measurement. c) What is the correct mass of the object?

On Dec 5, 2022, scientific history was made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California when nuclear fusion was achieved when the 192 lasers deposited about 2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy into a frozen pea sized deuterium-tritium pellet and ignited the pellet through nuclear fusion to release 3 MJ of energy. The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy?
