Question 1

When a neutron collides with a uranium-235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. One such reaction is

U + n → Xe + Sr + 2 n

The following mass values are known:

Xe:139.921620 u
Sr:93.915367 u
U:235.043924 u
n:1.008665 u
How much energy is released in this reaction? (1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2)
◦ 65.7 MeV
◦ 202 MeV
◦ 185 MeV
◦ 32.6 MeV
◦ 98.6 MeV

Question 2

When a neutron collides with a uranium-235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. One such reaction is

U + n → Xe + Sr + 2 n

The following mass values are known:

Xe:139.921620 u
Sr:93.915367 u
U:235.043924 u
n:1.008665 u
What mass of uranium is needed to produce a 10-kiloton yield? (1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2 = 1.66054 × 10-27 kg, 1-kiloton yield = 5.0 × 1012 J)
◦ 0.57 kg
◦ 6.58 kg
◦ 1.10 kg
◦ 3.85 kg
◦ 0.66 kg

Certain topical medications such as clotrimazole and betamethasone are not approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age. They must be used very cautiously, as directed by a doctor, to treat any child. Children have a much greater response to topical steroid medications.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s. They are now used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and other conditions that feature bone fragility.
