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.

The quadriceps muscles pull on the patella simultaneously. Below are the forces from each
Nostrana [21]

Based on the calculation of the resultant of vector forces:

  1. the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1795 N
  2. the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1975 N. Training and strengthening the vastus medialis results in a greater force of muscle contraction.

<h3>What is the resultant force due to the quadriceps?</h3>

The resultant of more than two vector forces is given by:

  • F = √Fₓ² + Fₙ²

where:

  • Fₓ is the sum of the horizontal components of the forces
  • Fₙ is the sum of the vertical components of the forces
  • Fx = F₁cosθ + F₂cosθ + F₃cosθ + F₄cosθ
  • Fₙ = F₁sinθ + F₂sinθ + F₃sinθ + F₄sinθ
  • F₁ = 680N, θ = 90 = 30 = 120°
  • F₂ = 220 N, θ = 90 + 16 = 106°
  • F₃ = 600 N, θ = 90 + 15 = 105°
  • F₄ = 480 N, θ = 90 - 35 = 55°

then:

Fx = 680 * cos 120 + 220 * cos 106 + 600 * cos 105 + 480 * cos 55

Fx = -280.6 N

Fₙ = 680 * sin 120 + 220 * sin 106 + 600 * sin 105 + 480 * sin 55

Fₙ = 1773.1 N

then:

F = √(-280.6)² + ( 1773.1)²

F = 1795.16 N

F ≈ 1795 N

Therefore, the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1795 N

<h3>What would happen if the vastus medialis was trained and strengthened to contract with 720N of force?</h3>

From the new information provided:

  • F₁ = 680N, θ = 90 = 30 = 120°
  • F₂ = 220 N, θ = 90 + 16 = 106°
  • F₃ = 600 N, θ = 90 + 15 = 105°
  • F₄ = 720 N, θ = 90 - 35 = 55°

then:

Fx = 680 * cos 120 + 220 * cos 106 + 600 * cos 105 + 720 * cos 55

Fx = -142.95 N

Fₙ = 680 * sin 120 + 220 * sin 106 + 600 * sin 105 + 720 * sin 55

Fₙ = 1969.72 N

then:

F = √(-142.95)² + ( 1969.72)²

F = 1974.9 N

F ≈ 1975 N

Therefore, the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1975 N.

Training and strengthening the vastus medialis results in a greater force of muscle contraction.

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?
Fiesta28 [93]
Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft=  3.56 10^{-9} second or 3.56 nanosecond

An airplane dropped a flare from a height of 2860 feet above a lake. How many seconds did it take for the flare to reach the wat
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.

A fixed 11.2-cm-diameter wire coil is perpendicular to a magnetic field 0.53 T pointing up. In 0.10 s , the field is changed to
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the wire, d = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 0.53 T

final magnetic field, B₂ = 0.24 T

time of change in magnetic field, t = 0.1 s

The induced emf in the coil is calculated as;

E = A(dB)/dt

where;

A is area of the coil = πr²

r is the radius of the wire coil = 0.112m / 2 = 0.056 m

A = π(0.056)²

A = 0.00985 m²

E = -0.00985(B₂-B₁)/t

E = 0.00985(B₁-B₂)/t

E = 0.00985(0.53 - 0.24)/0.1

E = 0.00985 (0.29)/ 0.1

E = 0.0286 V

Therefore, the average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

"Two long parallel wires 24.0 cm apart carry currents of 3.0 A and 8.0 A in the same direction. How far from the wire carrying 3
avanturin [10]

Answer:

6.5454 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the wire carrying 3 A current is x

Then the distance from the the carrying current 8 A is 24-x

We know that magnetic field due to long wire is given by B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}

It is given that magnetic field is zero at some distance so

\frac{\mu _0i_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu _0i_2}{2\pi (24-x)}

Here i_1=3\ A \ and\  i_2=8\ A

So \frac{3}{x}=\frac{8}{24-x}=6.5454\ m
