What total mass must be converted into energy

Physics

Eduardwww [97]3 years ago

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.

As Clinton walks he pushes his shoe against the track.
Valentin [98]

Answer:A:The track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

Explanation:According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In this case, the action force is Clinton's shoe pushing on the track. As this happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction force in which the track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

The molecules in metal are usually more tightly packed than the molecules in water. Most metals will sink in water. Pick your co
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Metal is more dense than water.

Explanation:

As we know, the molecules of the metal are tightly closed as compared to that of water and the density of a material is defined as the mass of the material per unit volume.

In a certain volume of metal, there are more numbers of molecules than that of water in the same amount of volume, therefore the density of metal is greater than that of water.

Also, according to Archimedes' principle, if there is an object in a fluid, then the buoyant force on that object is equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces.

When the density of the object is larger than that of the fluid then it overcomes that buoyant force and sinks.

Thus, an object sinks in a fluid if its density is larger than that of the fluid and floats otherwise.

Since, the metal sink in water, it means Metal is more dense than water.

What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke
Doss [256]
Heat exhaustion is usually accompanied by a fever no higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, excessive thirst, nausea, fainting, cool and clammy skin, weakness, muscle aches, heavy sweating, slow heartbeat and dizziness. Heatstroke may develop following heat exhaustion if the condition is not treated.

A car speeds up from 13 m/s to 23 m/s in 30 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
ra1l [238]
Well, <span>v = u + a×t is the equation.</span>
<span>
v: final velocity, which is 23 m/s in this equation.</span>
<span>u: initialo velocity = 13 m/s </span>
<span>a: acceleration = ? </span>
<span>t: time = 30s 
</span>
Your equation would be...

<span>23 = 13 + a×30 </span>
<span>a = (23 - 13) / 30 </span>
<span>a = 1 / 3 </span>
<span>a = 0.333 m/s</span>
