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.

Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration.  You're looking for the final velocity.  So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root.  Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem.  If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.

Why is diffraction used in soil profiles?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the technique most heavily relied on in soil mineralogical analysis. X-ray diffraction is a technique that provides detailed information about the atomic structure of crystalline substances. It is a powerful tool in the identification of minerals in rocks and soils.

Explanation:

XRD is used to identify the minerals composing clay-rich, hydrothermally altered rocks that occur on several Cascade volcanoes. Such rocks are believed to play an important role in the generation of large landslides and mudflows. XRD is used to analyze saline minerals, including borates.

Using a scale of 1 cm to represent 10 N, find the size and direction of the resultant of forces of 50 N
marta [7]

Answer:

74.31\ \text{N}

16.59^{\circ}

Explanation:

P = 50 N

Q = 30 N

\theta = Angle between the vectors = 45^{\circ}

Resultant is given by

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQ\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{50^2+30^2+2\times 50\times 30\times \cos45^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow R=74.31\ \text{N}

Angle of resultant

\phi=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{Q\sin\theta}{P+Q\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \phi=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{30\times \sin45^{\circ}}{50+30\cos45^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \phi=16.59^{\circ}

Magnitude of the resultant is 74.31\ \text{N}

Direction of the resultant is 16.59^{\circ}
