What total mass must be converted into energy

Physics

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

     The equivalence between mass and energy is given by:

E=mc^2
  
     Entering the unknowns, we have:

1.03*10^{-13}=m*(3*10^8)^2 \\ m= \frac{1.03*10^{-13}}{9*10^{16}}  \\ \boxed {m=1.14*10^{-30}Kg}

Number 1

How do I find initial velocity and time?
forsale [732]

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = -100

v = 10

a = 20

To find v₀, use a kinematic equation that's independent of time.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(10)² = v₀² + 2(20)(-100)

100 = v₀² − 4000

v₀² = 4100

v₀ = ±64.0

As your teacher said, v₀ can't be +64.0.  So v₀ = -64.0.

Next, to find time, use a kinematic equation that's independent of initial velocity.

Δx = vt − ½ at²

-100 = (10) t − ½ (20) t²

-100 = 10 t − 10 t²

-10 = t − t²

t² − t − 10 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ -(-1) ± √((-1)² − 4(1)(-10)) ] / 2(1)

t = (1 ± √41) / 2

t > 0, so:

t = (1 + √41) / 2

t ≈ 3.70

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 45 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by y=45t-15t2. Find the
Morgarella [4.7K]

Given that a ball is thrown into the air and its height in feet after t seconds is given by y = 45t - 15t²,  the instantaneous velocity when t=4 is -75ft/s.

<h3>What is the instantaneous velocity when t=4?</h3>

Given that;

  • Initial velocity = 45ft/s
  • Height in feet after t seconds is given by y = 45t - 15t²
  • Instantaneous velocity = ?

First, we determine the derivative of y = 45t - 15t²

y' = (1)45 - (2)15t

y' = 45 - 30t

We substitute in t = 4

y' = 45 - 30t

y' = 45 - 30(4)

y' = 45 - 120

y' = -75ft/s

Given that a ball is thrown into the air and its height in feet after t seconds is given by y = 45t - 15t²,  the instantaneous velocity when t=4 is -75ft/s.

Complete all four parts. 15 points. Will give brainliest! Show work!
Vlada [557]

Answer:

A. 5.08 secs.

B. 10.16 secs.

C. 126.50 m.

D. 373.36 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Initial velocity (u) = 65 m/s

Angle of projection θ = 50°

A. Determination of the time taken to reach the peak.

Initial velocity (u) = 65 m/s

Angle of projection θ = 50°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

t = u•Sine θ/g

t = (65 × Sine 50) /9.8

t = 5.08 secs.

B. Determination of the total time spent by the ball in air.

Time (t) taken to reach the peak = 5.08 secs.

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 5.08

T = 10.16 secs

Therefore, the total time spent by the ball in air is 10.16 secs.

C. Determination of the maximum height.

Initial velocity (u) = 65 m/s

Angle of projection θ = 50°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (H) =..?

H = u²•Sine² θ / 2g

H = 65² × (Sine 50)² / 2 × 9.8

H = 4225 × (Sine 50)² /19.6

H = 126.50 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 126.50 m.

D. Determination of the horizontal distance travelled by the ball.

Initial velocity (u) = 65 m/s

Angle of projection θ = 50°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Horizontal distance (R) =..?

R = u²•Sine 2θ / g

R = 65² × Sine (2×30) / 9.8

R = (4225 × Sine 60) / 9.8

R = 373.36 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is 373.36 m

What does the rate of solution measure?
Sergio039 [100]

The rate of solution is the rate at which a substance dissolves.

the factors on which the rate of solution depends are :

particles area of the solute: greater the area , greater is the rate of solution.

stirring: stirring increases the rate of solution.

temperature: increasing temperature increases the rate of solution.

hence the correct choice is

d) how fast a substance dissolves
