A college friend of yours who has been postponing taking any science courses hears you talking about the generation of nuclear e

nergy in the Sun and makes the following observation: "The whole idea of the atomic nucleus is pretty ridiculous. If an oxygen nucleus consists of eight protons and eight neutrons, the charge on that nucleus is positive. Since even I learned in high school that like charges repel, such a nucleus would find all its positive protons repelling and quickly fall apart." How would you answer his argument?

Answer:

It's held together by the nuclear force.

Explanation:

There are <em>more</em> elemental forces than just the electromagnetic one. In this case, it is the nuclear force (called also strong force) the one that holds the nucleus together because it is stronger than the electromagnetic force over such short distances as the one inside the atomic nucleus.

With what minimum speed must you toss a 130 gg ball straight up to just touch the 15-mm-high roof of the gymnasium if you releas
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be 'v'.

Given:

Mass of the ball (m) = 130 g = 0.130 kg   [ 1 g = 0.001 kg]

Initial height of the ball (h₁) = 1.4 mm = 0.0014 m   [ 1 mm = 0.001 m]

Final height of the ball (h₂) = 15 mm = 0.015 m

Now, from conservation of energy principle, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but converted from one form to another.

Here, the kinetic energy of the ball is converted to gravitational potential energy of the ball after reaching the final height.

Change in kinetic energy is given as:

\Delta KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2)\\Where\ v_f\to Final\ velocity\\v_i\to Initial\ velocity

As it just touches the 15 mm high roof, the final velocity will be zero. So,

v_f=0\ m/s.

Now, the change in kinetic energy is equal to:

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.130\times v^2\\\\\Delta KE = 0.065v^2

Change in gravitational potential energy = Final PE - Initial PE

So,

\Delta U=mg(h_f-h_i)\\\\\Delta U=0.130\times 9.8\times (0.015-0.0014)\\\\\Delta U=0.017\ J                    [ g = 9.8 m/s²]

Now, Change in KE = Change in PE

0.065v^2=0.017\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{0.017}{0.065}}\\\\v=0.5114\ m/s\\\\1\ m=1000\ mm\\\\So,0.5114\ m=511.4\ mm\\\\\therefore v=511.4\ mm/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

In a choir practice room, two parallel walls are 5.70 m apart. The singers stand against the north wall. The organist faces the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

4.98 m

Explanation:

Given that

Width of the mirror, d = 0.6 m

Organist distance to the mirror, s = 0.78 m

Distance between the singer and the organist, S = 5.7 + 0.78 = 6.48 m

Width of north wall, D?

Using the simple relationship

D/S = d/s, on rearranging

D = dS /s

D = (0.6 * 6.48) / 0.78

D = 3.888 / 0.78

D = 4.98 m

Therefore, we can conclude that the Width of north wall is 4.98 m
