For a given radioactive element, the critical mass required to initiate a self-sustaining chain reaction depends mainly on three aspects
1) the purity of the element (elimination of unwanted isotopes or other elements)
2) the shape of the mass
3) the quantity of the mass
These last two are practically the same, because both directly determine the neutron flux.
the catalyst
the polarity

∙ 14y ago(Almost) only on the total of proton AND neutron number of the atom (isotpoe) concerned. This number is called the mass number. (Remember: m=n+p)

What does rotational inertia depend on?
Mass and radius
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
How does efficiency depend on mass and why is it like that?
There's no direct connection between efficiency and mass.
What two quantities does rotational inertia depend?
mass, velocity and radius
What two variables does force depend on?
Mass and Acceleration. Force = Mass x Acceleration
Does a moving object's distance depend on the object's mass and velocity?
The distance doesn't depend on the mass.
Does gravitational force depend inversely on mass?
No, it is proportional to mass.
What unit measure would you use to measure a piece of spaghetti?

Does atomic number depend on mass?
no
What does denisity depend on?
Mass and volume.
What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum does not depend?
The time of a period doesn't depend on the mass of the Bob(that'll be a mass spring system) It also doesn't depend on Friction..
Does the escape velocity of a rocket depend on its mass?
no
Does g depend on the mass of the object?
yes
What does rotational inertia depend on?
Mass and radius
Is radius of gyration depend on mass?
i thing radius of gyration does not depend upon mass because it is the distance between reference axis and the centre of gravity.
What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
