Moderating a neutron in a nuclear reactor, neutrons released by nuclear fission must be slowed down before they can trigger addi- tional reactions in other nuclei. to see what sort of material is most effective in slowing (or moderating) a neutron, calculate the ratio of a neutron's final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy, k/k, for a head-on elastic collision with each of the following stationary tar- get particles. (note: the mass of a neutron is m atomic mass unit, u, is defined as follows: 1 u = 1.66 x 10 kg.) (a) an electron (m 5.49 x 10 u). (b) a proton (m 1.007 u). (c) the nucleus of a lead atom (m 1.009 u, where the 27 207.2 u).

Isobars are lines of constant or equal pressure on a weather map. they can be used to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area, and they can tell us how intense the system may be. on weather maps, you may have noticed areas that have a large l or h over a region with lines circling around them. the l stands for low pressure and h stands for high pressure. the lines circling them are isobars. check out the pressure system and isobars over georgia and florida. what is the present weather in this area ? a) clear and sunny b) cold and cloudy c) changing weather d) lots of precipitation

Which sentences describe point source pollution? in this type of pollution, the source of the pollution is single and easily identifiable. when runoff water from the melting of snow mixes with debris, it creates pollution. the runoff water, mixed with pollutants, reaches large areas with disastrous effects. alternatively, when a wastewater treatment plant releases harmful chemicals into a stream, the chemicals pollute the stream water because they are not treated for safety.

Aweather forecaster uses doppler radar to predict the track of a storm near the town of meadowlands. when the doppler signal is pointed at the storm from the town's center, the frequencies of the waves appear to be decreasing. what should the weather forecaster predict? a. that the storm will move around the edges of meadowlands without hitting the tosis center o b. that residents should be prepared, because it is impossible to know whether the storm will hit o c. that the storm is moving toward meadowlands and that residents should be prepared d. that the storm is moving away from meadowlands and is not likely to hit the town
