<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 3.526 MeV.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given nuclear reaction:

_{19}^{42}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{42}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}

We are given:

Mass of _{19}^{42}\textrm{K} = 41.962403 u

Mass of _{20}^{42}\textrm{Ca} = 41.958618 u

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

\Delta m=\text{Mass of reactants}-\text{Mass of products}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=(41.962403-41.958618)=0.003785u

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

E=\Delta mc^2\\E=(0.003785u)\times c^2

E=(0.003785u)\times (931.5MeV) (Conversion factor: 1u=931.5MeV/c^2 )

E=3.526MeV

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 3.526 MeV.

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1  : m1= 5kg

       50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

        F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

         F2 = 2*a  

(c) F1 =25 N

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1=  5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

<em>Look</em> <em>m1 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

<em>Look</em> <em>m2 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

<em>Look</em> <em>m3 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a     Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

<em>Look</em> <em>Free body diagram of the mass set</em>

∑Fx = m*a   m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

<em> (d) </em><em>What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?</em>

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N

Traveling waves propagate with a fixed speed usually denoted as v (but sometimes c). The waves are called __________ if their wa
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Periodic.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data.

Generally, a fixed speed is used for the propagation of traveling waves and this speed is usually denoted with the variable "v" or sometimes "c."

Furthermore, if the waveform of a traveling wave is repeated every time at specific intervals T, it is referred to as periodic wave.

Mathematically, the period of a traveling wave is given by the formula;

Period = \frac {1}{T}

Where;

T is the time measured in seconds.
