How do social forces shape technology

Social forces shape technology both in the form of deliberate social activism and also in unconscious ways. For example, in social activism, large demonstrations against oil pipelines can lead to more rapid development of alternatives to fossil fuels. Somewhat unconsciously, the clogging of cars in tight downtown areas in cities and decreasing parking space gave an impetus to develop new forms of rapid transit like subways and electric articulated buses.

How much energy is released by the decay of 3 grams of 230Th in the following reaction 230 Th - 226Ra + "He (230 Th = 229.9837 g

Serhud [2]

Answer: The energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the mass defect $(\Delta m)$ .

The equation for the alpha decay of thorium nucleus follows:

$_{90}^{230}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra}+_2^{4}\textrm{He}$

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - Sum of mass of reactant

$\Delta m=(m_{Ra}+m_{He})-(m_{Th})$

$\Delta m=(225.9771+4.008)-(229.9837)=1.4\times 10^{-3}amu=2.324\times 10^{-30}kg$

(Conversion factor: $1amu=1.66\times 10^{-27}kg$ )

To calculate the energy released, we use Einstein equation, which is:

$E=\Delta mc^2$

$E=(2.324\times 10^{-30}kg)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2$

$E=2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

The energy released for 230 grams of decay of thorium is $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

We need to calculate the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of thorium. By applying unitary method, we get:

As, 230 grams of Th release energy of = $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

Then, 3 grams of Th will release energy of = $\frac{2.0916\times 10^{-13}}{230}\times 3=2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

Hence, the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

Think of an everyday situation in which two objects interact and exert a force on each other. Explain how the interaction can ca

blondinia [14]

Answer:

It's explained below.

Explanation:

An everyday situation is when we raise an object.

Now, when we raise an object, energy is transferred to the Earth object system and thus the gravitational field energy of the system will increase.

Now, this energy is usually released when the object falls. The mechanism of this release is known as gravitational force.

In the same manner, two magnetic and electrically charged objects that are interacting at a distance will exert forces on each other and this can lead to transfer of energy between the interacting objects.
