A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.
I hope this helps you.
Solar cells and solar panels are both integral, and closely related, parts of a solar energy system. When reading about solar energy systems, it may seem as if these titles are almost interchangeable. Writers refer to them both when discussing energy production and output, and often do so without explanation of how these parts work. However, each plays a distinct role. Solar cells contain all the parts necessary to convert sunlight to electricity. Solar panels combine and direct all of that energy output.
It goes sun moon earth the moon is blocking us from seeing the sun.
<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>
Answer:
a) 3.00×10⁸ m/s
b) 2.9979×10⁸ m/s
c) 2.997925×10⁸ m/s
Explanation:
299792458 m/s is the speed of light
Let us write this in scientific notation first
2.99792458×10⁸ m/s
a) In three significant figures
We need to round the number to the hundredths place
3.00×10⁸ m/s
b) In five significant figures
We need to round the number to the ten thousandths place
2.9979×10⁸ m/s
c) In seven significant figures
We need to round the number to the millionths place
2.997925×10⁸ m/s
