A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep the car moving constant speed if friction is negligible?

Answer:

F = 768 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, $\dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

Since, the speed is constant,

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

$F=3.2\times 240$

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statements describe elements? Check all that apply.

solmaris [256]

The answers are B, C, E and F.

Atoms from an element is mostly made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Proton numbers are like a class number for each element. Each element has their own and they're all different. And the number of protons are equal to the number of electrons. Therefore, B is correct.

Isotopes. It's different atoms from a same element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. For example in hydrogen, there's 3 Isotopes for hydrogen. Therefore, C is correct.

Again, proton for the same element is never changed, even if they're different Isotopes. So, E is correct.

Isotopes, again, different elements may have different Isotopes. Some has only 1, others may have a few or more. So, F is correct too.

Given the isotope 2Fes, which has an actual mass of 55.934939 u: a) b) Determine the mass defect of the nucleus in atomic mass u

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Mass defect of each iron-56 nuclei:

The binding energy per nucleon of Iron-56 is approximately 8.6 MeV.

Explanation:

According to the physics constants table on Chemistry Libretexts:

Proton rest mass: $\rm 1.0072765\;amu$ ;
Neutron rest mass: $\rm 1.0086649\; amu$ .
Speed of light in vacuum: $\rm 2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .
Charge on an electron: $\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C$ .

<h3>a)</h3>

The mass defect of a nucleus is equal to the sum of the mass of its parts (protons and, in most cases, neutrons) minus the mass of the nucleus.

The atomic number of iron is 26. There are 26 protons in each iron-56 nucleus. The mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons (neutrons and protons) in each iron-56 nucleus. The other $56 - 26 = 30$ particles are neutrons.

The mass of protons and neutrons in each iron-56 nucleus will be:

$\rm 26 \times 1.0072765 + 30 \times 1.0086649 = 56.464736\;amu$ .

According to this question, the mass of an iron-56 nucleus is equal to 55.934939 amu. The mass defect will be

$\rm 56.464736 - 55.934939 = 0.514197\;amu$ .

<h3>b)</h3>

By the mass-energy equivalence,

$E = m\cdot c^{2}$ .

Refer to this equation, the speed of light in vacuum $c^{2}$ is the conversion factor between mass $m$ and energy $E$ . The value of $c$ is usually given only in SI units $\rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ . Accordingly, the value of $c^{2}$ will be in the SI unit $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ .

Convert million electron-volts to joules.

One electron-volt is equal to the electrical work done moving an electron across a potential difference of one volt.

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1 MeV&= \rm 10^{6}\; eV\\ &= \rm (10^{6}\times 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C)\times 1\; V\\&=\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;J\end{aligned}$ .

Convert the unit of $c^{2}$ from $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ to the desired $\rm MeV \cdot amu^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}c^{2} &= \rm {\left(2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\&=\rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\\ &= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\\&= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\times \frac{1\;MeV}{1.6021765\times 10^{-13}\;J}\times \frac{1\times 10^{-3}\;kg}{6.022142\times 10^{23}\;amu}\\&\approx \rm 931.602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Total binding energy in each iron-56 nucleus:

$\begin{aligned}E &= m\cdot c^{2}\\&= \rm 0.514197\;amu \times 9.31602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1} \\&=\rm 479.027038\; MeV \end{aligned}$ .

Again, the mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons in each iron-56 nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon of iron-56 $\mathrm{^{56}Fe}$ will be:

$\displaystyle \rm \frac{479.027038\; MeV}{56} \approx 8.6\; MeV$ .

As you approach your vehicle and perform checks it is not necessary to always

Greeley [361]

1.) Have your keys in hand before approaching or entering your car.

2. Be alert to other pedestrians and drivers.

3.) Search for signs of movement between, beneath and around objects to both sides of your vehicle

4.) check the spare tire for proper inflation

¿Cuál es la frecuencia de una ola con una velocidad de 14 m / s y una longitud de onda de 20 metros?

Margaret [11]

Responder:

<h2>0.7Hertz </h2>

Explicación:

Usando la fórmula para calcular la velocidad de onda que se expresa como se muestra.

Velocidad de una onda = frecuencia * longitud de onda

v = fλ

Dada la velocidad de onda = 14 m / sy longitud de onda = 20 metros

frecuencia f = v / λ

f = 14/20

f = 0.7Hertz

La frecuencia de la onda es de 0.7 Hertz.
