For some isotopes of some very heavy nuclei, including nuclei of thorium, uranium, and plutonium, the nucleus will fission (split apart) when it absorbs a slow-moving neutron. for example, plutonium-239, with 94 protons and 145 neutrons, can fission when it absorbs a neutron and becomes plutonium-240. the two fission fragments, called "daughter" nuclei, can be almost any two nuclei whose charges q1 and q2 add up to 94e (where e is the charge on a proton), and whose nucleons add up to 240 protons and neutrons (pu-240, formed from pu-239 plus a neutron).one of the possible fission modes involves nearly equal fragments, silver nuclei (ag-120) each with electric charge q1 = q2 = 47e. the rest masses of the two daughter nuclei add up to less than the rest mass of the original parent nucleus. (in addition to the two main fission fragments there are typically one or more free neutrons in the final state; in your analysis make the simplifying assumption that there are no free neutrons, just two daughter nuclei.)

Avehicle has an oil leak that is causing the entire oil pan to be wet, but inspection reveals no exact source after cleaning off the oil residue. technician a says to install a fluorescent dye in the crankcase and operate the engine, then re-inspect for leaks with a special light (black light). technician b says the oil leak may be coming from a source at the top of the engine, such as a valve cover gasket. who is correct?

Electromagnetic induction. a coil of wire contains n turns and has an electrical resistance r. the radius of each turn is a. initially, inside the coil there exists a uniform magnetic field of magnitude b0 parallel to the axis of the coil. the magnetic field is then reduced slowly. the current induced in the coil is i. how long does it take for the magnitude of the uniform field to drop to zero?
