The reaction energy of a reaction is the amount of energy released by the reaction. It is found by determining the difference in

mass between the reactants and products and then using E=mc2 to convert the lost mass into the released energy. Look again at the equation for the decay of radium (Ra), given in the introduction. Use the following table of masses to determine the reaction energy of this reaction.Nucleus or particle Mass in atomic mass unitsradium-226 226.025402radon-222 222.017571alpha particle 4.002602Express your answer in joules to three significant figures.

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4

An object moving with a speed of 35M/s and has a kinetic energy of 1500 J what is the mass of the object
Lelu [443]

2.45 Kg

Explanation:

K.E = 0.5 mv^2

1500 = 0.5 × m × (35)^2

1500= m × 0.5 × 1225

1500 = m × 612.5

1500/612.5 = m

2.45 = m

m = 2.45kg

A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

H=1020.12m

Explanation:

From a balance of energy:

\frac{m*Vo^2}{2} -mg*H=-Ff*d   where H is the height it reached, d is the distance it traveled along the ramp and Ff = μk*N.

The relation between H and d is given by:

H = d*sin(30)   Replace this into our previous equation:

\frac{m*Vo^2}{2} -mg*d*sin(30)=-\mu_k*N*d

From a sum of forces:

N -mg*cos(30) = 0    =>  N = mg*cos(30)   Replacing this:

\frac{m*Vo^2}{2} -mg*d*sin(30)=-\mu_k*mg*cos(30)*d   Now we can solve for d:

d = 2040.23m

Thus H = 1020.12m
