Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth

ermic. No molecular bonds are broken in nuclear reactions. Protons and neutrons are exchanged in chemical reactions. In nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy.

More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.

If a ball is rolling at a velocity of 1.5 m/s and has a momentum of 10.0 kg times m/s, what is the mass of the ball?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Mass of the ball, M = 6.667 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Momentum, Mo = 10.0 kgm/s

Velocity of the rolling ball, V = 1.5 m/s

Mass of the body, M = ?

Momentum, Mo = Mass, M x Velocity, V

10.0 kgm/s = M x 1.5 m/s

Divide each side by 1.5 m/s

M = 10.0 kgm/s / 1.5 m/s

M = (6⅔) kg

:. Mass of the ball, M = 6.667 kg

A 200-g block is attached to a horizontal spring and executes simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.250 s. The total energy
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

(A) Spring constant will be 126.58 N/m

(B) Amplitude will be equal to 0.177 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 200 gram = 0.2 kg

Time period T = 0.250 sec

Total energy is given TE = 2 J

(A) For mass spring system time period is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}

So 0.250=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{0.2}{K}}

0.0398=\sqrt{\frac{0.2}{K}}

Now squaring both side

0.00158=\frac{0.2}{K}

K = 126.58 N/m

So the spring constant of the spring will be 126.58 N/m

(B) Total energy is equal to TE=\frac{1}{2}KA^2, here K is spring constant and A is amplitude

So 2=\frac{1}{2}\times 126.58\times A^2

A^2=0.0316

A = 0.177 m

So the amplitude of the wave will be equal to 0.177 m

A metal ring 4.20 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have a metal ring of diameter

d = 4.2cm = 0.042m

r = d/2 = 0.021m

And it is place between the north pole and south pole of a large magnet with the plane of it's area perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Given that the magnetic field is

B = 1.12 T

The rate of decrease of magnetic field is 0.2T/s, since it is decrease then,

dB/dt = -0.2 T/s

The induce electric field is given as,

From faradays law

ε = ∫E•dl = -dΦ/dt

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

Φ = πr²×B = πr²B

Also, ∫E•dl = E×2πr = 2πrE

So,

∫E•dl = -dΦ/dt

2πrE = -d(πr²B) / dt

r is a constant, then

2πrE = -πr² dB/dt

Divide both side by πr

2E = -r dB/dt

E = -r dB/dt / 2

E = -0.021 × -0.2 / 2

E = 0.0021 V/m

The magnetic field point from north to south pole and it is decreasing and this means that the magnetic flux is also decreasing, so the induce magnetic field must point in the same direction of the original magnetic field, so the induce current circulate counter-clockwise as viewed from the south pole

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 55.0 μs ?
Komok [63]
Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) (  55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m

What elements are good conductors of electricity?
kramer
In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .
