If three atoms of helium fuse to form carbon than 0.009 u of mass is converted into energy

Given: m(He) = 4.003 u

and m(C) = 12.000 u

Mass of 3 alpha particles =3×4.003 u

                                       =12.009 u.

Mass of 1 carbon atom=12.000 u

Mass Defect =△m=12.009−12.000=0.009 u

Energy released =0.009×931.5=8.3835 MeV.

So, 0.009 u of mass is converted into 8.38 Mev energy.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

t₂ = 3.89 s

Explanation:

given,

speed of car  = 23 m/s

speed of motorcycle = 23 m/s

after time of 4 s distance between them is equal to = 53 m

motorcycle accelerates at = 7 m/s

time taken to catch up with car = ?

let t₂ be the time in which motorcycle catches car.

distance traveled by car in t₂ s

d = 23 t₂ + 53

distance traveled by motorcycle

using equation of motion

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2

now, equating both the distances

23t_2 + 53= 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2

t_2^2 = 15.143

    t₂ = 3.89 s

time taken by the motorcycle to catch the car is equal to 3.89 s

Sound is a type of _____ wave.
saul85 [17]
Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

\frac{WO}{WI} < 1

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.

HELP PLEASE 20 POINTS SHOW WORK, ALL EQUATIONS
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

s = 3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.

Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.

the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are

s = vt = 40(t + 2)  cm

s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm

they pass when their distance is the same

½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)

10t² = 40t + 80

0 = 10t² - 40t - 80

0 = t² - 4t - 8

t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)

t = (4± 6.928) / 2  ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.

t = 5.464 s

s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm

300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. Which of the following statements is not true? A. There must be a
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

False statement = There must be a non-zero net force acting on the object.  

Explanation:

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. If the speed is constant then its velocity must be constant. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object i.e.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

a = 0

⇒ The acceleration of the object is zero.

The product of force and acceleration gives the magnitude of force acting on the object i.e.

F = m a = 0

⇒  The net force acting on the object must be zero.

So, the option (a) is not true. This is because the force acting on the object is zero. First option contradicts the fact.
