Answer:
The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.
Explanation:
Since speed = distance/time;
time = distance/speed.
While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour
(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.
So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,
New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour
New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hi, it’s the iris. Hope this helped u
Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
Searching the missed information we have:
E: is the energy emitted in the plutonium decay = 8.40x10⁻¹³ J
m(⁴He): is the mass of the helium nucleus = 6.68x10⁻²⁷ kg
m(²³⁵U): is the mass of the helium U-235 nucleus = 3.92x10⁻²⁵ kg
a) We can find the velocities of the two nuclei by conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy:
Linear momentum:
Since the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest, :
(1)
Kinetic Energy:
(2)
By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:
Solving the above equation for we have:
And by entering that value into equation (1):
The minus sign means that the helium-4 nucleus is moving in the opposite direction to the uranium-235 nucleus.
b) Now, the kinetic energy of each nucleus is:
For He-4:
For U-235:
I hope it helps you!
