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.

1) For a positive point charge, the lines radiate ………. . While, for a negative point charge, the lines converge …………. .

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

For a positive point charge, the lines radiate <u>outwards</u>, while for a negative point charge, the lines converge<u> inwards.</u>

Explanation:

A single point charges produces an electric field which has a radial shape.The sign of a charge determines the the direction of the field. In Positive charge have the direction of field is out of the charge and for negative charge, the direction of field is towards the charge.This behavior is in relation to how a positive test charge will experience in a field.

A wagon wheel consists of 8 spokes of uniform diameter, each of mass ms and length L cm. The outer ring has a mass mring. What i

just olya [345]

Answer:

The moment of inertial of the wheel, $I = 8(\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2 ) + M_rL^2$

Explanation:

Given;

8 spokes of uniform diameter

mass of each spoke, = $M_s$

length of each spoke, = L

mass of outer ring, = $M_r$

The moment of inertial of the wheel will be calculated as;

$I = 8I_{spoke} + I_{ring}$

where;

$I_{spoke$ is the moment of inertia of each spoke

$I_{ring$ is the moment of inertia of the rim

Moment of inertia of each spoke $=\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2$

Moment of inertial of the wheel

$I = 8(\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2 ) + M_rL^2$

A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 3.57 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of

igomit [66]

Answer:t=0.81 s

Explanation:

Given

Penguin slides down with constant velocity of 3.57 m/s

as the Penguin Slides with constant velocity therefore $F_{net}$ is zero on Penguin

$F_{net}=mg\sin \theta -f_r$

$f_r=$ friction Force

$f_r=\mu mg$

$\mu =$ coefficient of Kinetic friction

$mg\sin \theta =\mu mg$

$\tan \theta =\mu$

$\mu =\tan 9.85=0.45$

after reaching on floor final velocity of penguin will be zero after time t

thus

$v=u+at$

here $a=\mu g$

$a=0.45\times 9.8=4.41$ (deceleration)

$0=3.57-4.41\times t$

$t=\frac{3.57}{4.41}=0.809$

$t=0.81 s$
