Answer:

Vₑ = 9.314569 × 10^8 eV

Vₑ = 931.5 ×10^6 eV

Vₑ = 931.5 MeV

Verified

Explanation:

Applying the Einstein equation which shows that energy and mass are interchangeable (related). Which can be written mathematically as;

E = mc^2 ......1

Where E = energy

m = mass

c = speed of light

Energy can also be related to potential difference and charge as;

E = qv ........2

Where;

E = energy

q = charge

v = potential difference

Substituting equation 2 into 1

qv = mc^2

Making v the subject of formula

v = (mc^2)/q .........3

For a unified atomic mass unit is defined to be 1 u = 1.6605 ✕ 10−27 kg

m = 1.6605 × 10^−27 kg

c = 2.9979 × 10^8 m/s

Charge on electron qₑ = 1.6021766 × 10^-19 Coulomb

So, equation 3 becomes;

Vₑ = (mc^2)/qₑ

Substituting the given values;

Vₑ = (1.6605 × 10^−27 kg × (2.9979 × 10^8 m/s)^2)/1.602 1766× 10^-19

Vₑ = 9.314569 × 10^8 eV

Vₑ = 931.5 ×10^6 eV

Vₑ = 931.5 MeV

How does a parallel circuit differ from a series circuit?
8_murik_8 [283]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A parallel circuit differ from a series circuit in a sense that a <span>series circuit has one path for electrons, but a parallel circuit has more than one path. In a parallel circuit there two or more paths for current to flow while a series circuit only has one.</span>

Suppose the electric field in problems 2 was caused by a point charge. The test charge is moved to a distance twice as far from
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

it is reduced four times.

Explanation:

By definition, the electric field is the force per unit charge created by a charge distribution.

If the charge creating the field is a point charge, the force exerted by it on a test charge, must obey Coulomb´s Law, so, it must be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

So, if the distance increases twice, as the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the square of 2 is 4, this means that the magnitude of the force exerted on the test charge must be 4 times smaller.

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

Suppose that a certain battery produces a voltage of 1.55V without a load connected (open circuit) and a current of 500mA when s
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the internal resistance be r .

Since in open circuit the volt is 1.55 V , this will be the source voltage .

Source voltage = 1.55

If external resistance be R .

1.55 / (R + r ) = .500

R + r = 3.1 ohm

So sum of internal resistance and external resistance will be 3.1 ohm.

¿Cuál de las siguientes magnitudes es derivada?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

A. El volumen

B. La densidad.

Explanation:

A derived quantity is defined as one that has to be calculated by using two or more other measurements.

Volume is a derived quantity because it requires one to use different measurements to determine it. For instance, in the case of a cube, the length, width and height of the cube are all needed to calculate volume.

Density is also a derived quantity because it needs both volume and mass for it to be calculated.
