2 Fission In symmetric fission, the nucleus of uranium238U) splits into two nuclei of palladium (11Pd). To a rough approximation, the nuclei of heavy atoms may be described as spheres with a uniform charge density of 1.33-1025 C/m3. (This is a reasonable approximation, so far as their electrical structure is concerned.) The charge of the uranium nucleus is +92e. Compute the initial electrostatic energy of the uranium nucleus and the electrostatic energy of the fission fragments once they have moved...
Consider a fission reaction where a Uranium-235 nucleus absorbs
a neutron and then splits to Strontium, Xenon, and some neutrons.
If the strontium nucleus has a mass number of 89 and the Xenon
nucleus has a mass number of 144, how much energy is released in a
single reaction? Use the attached table for the atomic masses of
the nuclei. Give your answer in MeV and with 4 significant figures.
(Hint: Balance the reaction first).

Consider a fission reaction where a Uranium-235 nucleus absorbs a neutron and then splits to Strontium, Xenon, and some neutrons. If the strontium nucleus has a mass number of 93 and the Xenon nucleus has a mass number of 140, how much energy is released in a single reaction?

In a nuclear fission reaction, a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei, whose subsequent motion is governed by electric force only. As the two nuclei start moving appart from one another, a) their kinetic energy keeps decreasing b) their acceleration keeps increasing c) their kinetic energy keeps increasing d) their electric potential energy keeps decreasing e) their electric potential energy keeps increasing
Activity 27-4. Nuclear fission (Accompanies Section 27-4] 1 A uranium nucleus (235U) absorbs a neutron. The result is a uranium nucleus (236U) in an excited state. 3 The excited uranium nucleus fissions into two smaller, more tightly bound nuclei... ...as well as a few neutrons.

The illustration shows one
possible way that a nucleus of uranium-235 (235U) can undergo
neutron-induced fission. (a) Rank the following objects in order of
their binding energy per nucleon, from largest to smallest. If any
two objects have the same binding energy per nucleon, state this.
