Answer:
Explanation:
Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.
Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:
Where is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when
is equal to one, solving for r:
Answer:
a) m = 993 g
b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
Explanation:
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794
4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176
we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602
difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158
fraction of mass lost = = 0.00723
loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23
a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)
b) energy released in the process
E = m c²
E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²
E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>
That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.
In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy will be:
Where is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
As we can see, the value of is directly proportional to the height.
