<span>Depends on the precision you're working to. proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu electron mass ~ electron mass = 0.000549 amu Binding mass is: mass of constituents - mass of atom Eg for nitrogen: (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549) -14.003074 = 0.11235amu Binding energy is: E=mc^2 where c is the speed of light. Nuclear physics is usually done in MeV[1] where 1 amu is about 931.5MeV/c^2. So: 0.11235 * 931.5 = 104.6MeV Binding energy per nucleon is total energy divided by number of nucleons. 104.6/14 = 7.47MeV This is probably about right; it sounds like the right size! Do the same thing for D/E/F and recheck using your numbers & you shouldn't go far wrong :) 1 - have you done this? MeV is Mega electron Volts, where one electronVolt (or eV) is the change in potential energy by moving one electron up a 1 volt potential. ie energy = charge * potential, so 1eV is about 1.6x10^-19J (the same number as the charge of an electron but in Joules). It's a measure of energy, but by E=mc^2 you can swap between energy and mass using the c^2 factor. Most nuclear physicists report mass in units of MeV/c^2 - so you know that its rest mass energy is that number in MeV.</span>

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.

Nady [450]

Answer:

a)   W_total = 8240 J , b)  W₁ / W₂ = 1.1

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the work that is defined by

       W = F. dy

As the container is rising and the force is vertical the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

       W = F dy = F Δy

let's apply this formula to our case

a) Let's use Newton's second law to calculate the force in the first y = 5 m

          F - W = m a

          W = mg

          F = m (a + g)

          F = 80 (1 + 9.8)

          F = 864 N

The work of this force we will call it W1

   We look for the force for the final 5 m, since the speed is constant the force must be equal to the weight (a = 0)

        F₂ - W = 0

        F₂ = W

        F₂ = 80 9.8

        F₂ = 784 N

The work of this fura we will call them W2

The total work is

         W_total = W₁ + W₂

         W_total = (F + F₂) y

         W_total = (864 + 784) 5

         W_total = 8240 J

b) To find the relationship between work with relate (W1) and work with constant speed (W2), let's use

        W₁ / W₂ = F y / F₂ y

        W₁ / W₂ = 864/784

        W₁ / W₂ = 1.1

melomori [17]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A block of mass m begins at rest at the top of a ramp at elevation h with whatever PE is associated with that height. The block slides down the ramp over a distance d until it reaches the bottom of the ramp.

How much of its original total energy (in J) survives as KE when it reaches the ground? m = 9.9 kg h = 4.9 m d = 5 m μ = 0.3 θ = 36.87°

Answer:

the amount of its original total energy (in J) that survives as KE when it reaches the ground will is 358.975 J

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 9.9 kg

h = 4.9 m

d = 5 m

μ = 0.3

θ = 36.87°

Now from conservation of energy, the energy is;

Et = mgh

we substitute

Et = 9.9 × 9.8 × 4.9

= 475.398 J

Also the loss of energy i

E_loss = (umg cosθ) d

we substitute

E_loss  = 0.3 × 9.9 × 9.8 × cos36.87°  × 5

= 116.423 J

so the amount of its original total energy (in J) that survives as KE when it reaches the ground will be

E = Et - E_loss

E = 475.398 J - 116.423 J

E = 358.975 J

A uniform beam XY is 100 cm long and weighs 4.0N.The beam rests on a pivot 60 cm from end X. A load of 8.0 N hangs from the beam
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

<h2>The magnitude of force F is 18N</h2>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force in the set up can be solved for using the principle of moment. According to the principle, the sum of clockwise moment  is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

Moment = Force * perpendicular distance

Clockwise moments;

The force that acts clockwise is the unknown Force F and 4N force. If the  beam rests on a pivot 60 cm from end X and a Force F acts on the beam 80 cm from end X, the perpendicular distance of the force F from the pivot is 80-60 = 20cm and the perpendicular distance of the 4N force from the pivot is 60-50 = 10cm

Moment of force F about the pivot = F * 20

Moment of 4N force about the pivot = 4*10 = 40Nm

Sum of clockwise moment = 40+20F...(1)

Anticlockwise moment;

The  8N will act anticlockwisely about the pivot.

The distance between the 8N force and the pivot is 60-10 = 50cm

Moment of the 8N force = 8*50

=400Nm...(1)

Equating 1 and 2 we have;

40+20F = 400

20F = 400-40

20F = 360

F = 18N

The magnitude of force F is 18N

arlik [135]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option.  Based on this information, we can say that there are more molecules in a gram of water since more energy is required to raise the temperature 1 gram of water than to raise the temperature of  1 gram of ethanol.
