Answer:

The mass of Neptunium is 237.054 u.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Americium = 241.05682 u

Mass of alpha particle = 4.00260 u

The equation is,

_{95}^{241}Am\rightarrow _{93}^{237}NP+\alpha\ particle+5.5 MeV

Let the mass of Neptunium is m.

Since the mass remain same.

We need to calculate the mass of Neptunium

Using formula of mass

Mass of Neptunium =  Mass of Americium -Mass of alpha particle

Put the value into the formula

m=241.05682 -4.00260

m=237.054\ u

Hence, The mass of Neptunium is 237.054 u.

pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

Answer:

T= 354.65 N

Explanation:

Given that

ρ= 7800 kg/m³

L= 58 cm

d=1.34 mm

f= 311 Hz

T= Tension

Speed of wave ,V

V = f λ      

V = f L

V= 311 x 0.58 m/s

V=180.38 m/s

Area of cross sectional

A= πr² mm²

A= 3.14 x 0.67² mm²

A=1.41 mm²

Mass = Density x Volume

m=7800\times 1.41\times 10^{-6}\ kg/m

m=0.0109 kg/m

T=m V^2

T= 0.0109 x 180.38² N

Which of the following statements best describes the characteristic of the restoring force in the spring-mass system described i
Grace [21]

Answer : The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Explanation :

Restoring force is defined as the force that is exerted by the spring due to its mass.

Mathematically, the restoring force can be written as :

F\propto-x

F = - k x

where,

k is the spring constant.

x is the displacement caused due to the mass.

Negative sign shows that the force is acting in opposite direction.

So, it is clear that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block ".

Heat engines were first envisioned and built during the industrial revolution. Explain the thermodynamics of a heat engine comme
Artyom0805 [142]

Heat engines were developed during industrial revolution.

Generally a heat engine contains three parts i.e source, sink and working substance.

The source of a heat engine is present at a higher temperature as compared to the sink. Due to the temperature difference, the heat will flow from source to sink through working substance.

Let us consider  T_{1}\ and\ T_{2} are the temperature of source and sink.

As the source is at higher temperature as compared to sink, heat will flow from source to sink.

Let\ Q_{1}\ and\ Q_{2} are the heat provided by source and heat rejected to sink.

Hence, the work done by the working substance will be -

                                                W\ =\ Q_{1}-Q_{2}

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of output to the input energy.

Here output = workdone [W]

Hence, the efficiency of a heat engine is calculated as -

                     Efficiency\ [\eta]=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}

                                        \eta\ =\frac{Q_{1}- Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}

                                               =\ 1-\frac{Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}

This is the expression for the efficiency of heat engine.

Here, all the heat absorbed by the working substance can not be converted to desired output. The efficiency of a heat engine can not be 100 percent. Some amount of heat is lost in the form of sound and heat due to the friction which is produced due to the relative motion between various parts of the machine.
