A 1000 MW fission reactor consumes half of its fuel in 5.00 y. How much ""_(92)^(235)U did it contain initially? Assume that the reactor operates 80% of the time, that all the energy generated arises from the fission of ""_(92)^(235)U and that this nuclide is consumed only by the fission process.

The change in the value of acceleration of earth toward sun, when the moon coomes from the position of solar eclipse to the position on the other side of earth in line with sun is : (mass of moon =7.36xx10^(22) kg, orbital radius of moon =3.8xx10^(8) m.)

A particle is thrown vertically upwards from the surface of the earth. Let T_(P) be the time taken by the particle to travel from a point P above the earth to its highest point and back to the point P. Similarly, let T_(Q) be the time taken by the particle to travel from another point Q above the earth to its highest point and back to the same in terms of T_(P), T_(Q) and H, is :-

You may have heard the story of the race between the rabbit and tortoise. They started from same point simultaneously with constant speeds. During the journey, rabbit took rest somewhere along the way for a while. But the tortoise moved steadily with lesser speed and reached the finishing point before rabbit. Rabbit wokeup and ran, but rabbit realized that the tortoise had won the race. Draw distance vs time graph for this story. (AS_(5))

There is crater of depth R//100 on the surface of the moon (raduis R ). A projectile is fired vertically upwards from the crater with a velocity, which is equal to the escape velocity v from the surface of the moon. The maximum height attained by the projectile, is :

A neutron beam of energy of energy E scatters from atoms on a surface with a spacing d=0.1 nm.The first maximum of intensity in the reflected beam occurs at theta=30^(@) .What is the kinetic energy E of the beam in eV?

Ravi can throw a ball at a speed on the earth which can cross a river of width 10 m . Ravi reaches on an imaginary planet whose mean density is twice that of the earth. Find out the maximum possible radius of the planet so that if Ravi throws the ball at the same speed it may escape from the planet. Given radius of the earth = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m .

A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity equal to half of escape velocity of the earth. If R is radius of the earth, maximum height attained by the body from the surface of the earth is
