In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?
The arctic tern migrates farther than any other bird. Suppose the tern travels 16513 km south, only to encounter bad weather. Instead of trying to fly around the storm, the tern turns around and travels 617 km north to wait out the storm. It then turns around again immediately and flies 14814 km south to Antarctica. What is the tern's average speed in km/h if it makes this trip in 144 days? (Please round your answer to two decimal place; DO NOT include units)

The acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an object moves away from the Earth's surface due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at a distance h above the surface of the Earth, gh. Express the equation in terms of the radius R of the Earth, g, and h. &h= Suppose a 74.35 kg hiker has ascended to a height of 1893 m above sea level in the process of climbing Mt. Washington. By what percent has the hiker's weight changed from its value at sea level as a result of climbing to this elevation? Use g = 9.807 m/s² and R = 6.371 × 106 m. Enter your answer as a positive value. weight change = %

The drag force F on a boat is jointly proportional to the wetted surface area A on the hull and the square of the speed s of the boat. A boat experiences a drag force of 220 lb when traveling at 5 mi/h with a wetted surface area of 40 ft2. How fast must a boat be traveling if it has 28 ft2 of wetted surface area and is experiencing a drag force of 150 lb? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) mi/h
