Nuclear binding energy is necessary to overcome EINSTEIN'S MASS DEFECT. Nuclear binding energy refers to the energy required to separate an atomic nucleus into its constituent elements, that is protons and electrons. The mass of a nucleus is always less than the sum of all its constituents. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together and it is called mass defect and can be calculated for using Einstein's formula for mass defect.

What are laws of newton

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

$|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23$

$\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}$

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of $41.81^{\circ}$ in the north of east direction.
