8 0

For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

$E = 174.6 MeV$

Explanation:

As we know that energy corresponding to the 1 amu mass is given as

$E = mc^2$

if m = 1 amu

we have

$E = 931.5 MeV$

so we will have

mass = 0.187456 amu

$E = (0.187456)(931.5)$

$E = 174.6 MeV$

A series circuit has two 10-ohm bulb is added in a series. Technician A says that the three bulbs will be dimmer than when only

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Technician A is right. The situation will happens even with only two bulbs in series

Explanation:

We must take into account that

1.- All electric device need its nominal voltage to operate

2.-Any and all electric device means an electric load for the source in terms of equation that means any device will implies a drop voltage of V = I*R ( I the flows current and R the resistance of the device)

3.-Nominal voltage for bulbs are specify for houses voltages you find between fase and neutral wires for instance in Venezuela 120 (v).

4.-In a imaginary circuit of only one bulb, the nominal voltage will be applied and the bulb will operates correctly, but when you add another bulb (in series) the nominal voltage will split between the two bulbs ( we could find a situation such as the first bulb work properly but the second one does not). The voltage split according to Ohms law (in such way that the sum of voltage between the terminal of the first bulb plus the voltage at terminals of the second one are equal to nominal voltage.

For that reason all the bulbs are connected in parallel in wich case all of them will operate with the common voltage

A 0.300kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.800m/s when it makes a head-o

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The final velocity of the first glider is 0.27 m/s in the same direction as the first glider

The final velocity of the second glider is 1.07 m/s in the same direction as the first glider.

0.010935 J

0.0858675 J

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of first glider = 0.3 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of second glider = 0.15 kg

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of first glider = 0.8 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of second glider = 0 m/s

$v_1$ = Final Velocity of first glider

$v_2$ = Final Velocity of second glider

As momentum and Energy is conserved

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

${\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{1}u_{1}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{2}u_{2}^{2}={\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

From the two equations we get

$v_{1}=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.3-0.15}{0.3+0.15}\times 0.8+\frac{2\times 0.15}{0.3+0.15}\times 0\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.27\ m/s$

The final velocity of the first glider is 0.27 m/s in the same direction as the first glider

$v_{2}=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 0.3}{0.3+0.15}\times 0.8+\frac{0.3-0.15}{0.3+0.15}\times 0\\\Rightarrow v_2=1.067\ m/s$

The final velocity of the second glider is 1.07 m/s in the same direction as the first glider.

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}0.3\times 0.27^2\\\Rightarrow K=0.010935\ J$

Final kinetic energy of first glider is 0.010935 J

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}0.15\times 1.07^2\\\Rightarrow K=0.0858675\ J$

Final kinetic energy of second glider is 0.0858675 J

The cockroach Periplaneta americana can detect a static electric field of magnitude 8.50 kN/C using their long antennae. If the

otez555 [7]

Answer:

0.647 nC

Explanation:

The force experienced by a charge due to the presence of an electric field is given by

$F=qE$

where

q is the charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, each antenna is modelled as it was a single point charge, experiencing a force of

$F=5.50\mu N = 5.50\cdot 10^{-6} N$

Therefore, if the electric field magnitude is

$E=8.50 kN/C = 8500 N/C$

Then the charge on each antenna would be

$q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{5.50\cdot 10^{-6} N}{8500 N/C}=6.47\cdot 10^{-10} C = 0.647 nC$

Dane is holding an 8 kilogram box 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy stor

9966 [12]

156.8 Joules of energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy store

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box Dane is holding = 8 Kilograms

Height at which Dane is holding the box above the ground= 2 metres

To Find:

Gravitational potential energy in the box=?

Solution:

gravitational potential energy is the work done per mass on a object to move that object from one fixed location to to another location against gravity.Its unit is joules or J

Thus Gravitational potential energy is represented as,

$PE_g=mgh$
