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

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

A 40kg dog is sitting on top of a hillside and has a potential energy of 1,568 J. What is the height of the hill side?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

<h2>39.2 m</h2>

Explanation:

The height of the hill side can be found by using the formula

h =  \frac{p}{m}  \\

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

From the question we have

h =  \frac{1568}{40}  =  \frac{196}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>39.2 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

A hydraulic lift has two connected pistons with cross-sectional areas 15 cm2 and 670 cm2. It is filled with oil of density 510 k
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of two areas is

A_1=15\ cm^2

A_2=670\ cm^2

It is filled with oil of density \rho _0=510\ kg/m^3

mass of car place on Large area M=1100\ kg

Suppose a mass of m kg is placed on smaller area

According to pascal law's intensity of pressure is same at every point on Liquid

P_1=P_2

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

\frac{mg}{15}=\frac{Mg}{670}

m=1100\times \frac{15}{670}

m=24.62\ kg

The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are
alisha [4.7K]

The correct answer is Option (C) distance and time

Explanation:

Average speed of any object is defined as the total distance that object travels over the time it takes to travel that distance. In other words, average speed is the total distance divided by the elapsed time.

Average \thinspace Speed = \frac{Total \thinspace Distance}{Elapsed \thinspace Time}

Therefore, as you can see in the above equation, the two measurements that are essential for the calculation of the average speed are the (total) distance and the (elapsed) time.

Hence, the correct option is C.
