Is a burning wax candle nuclear energy?

sasho [114]

no because nuclear energy come from kinetic not potential energy. burning a wax candle is an example of heat/thermal energy .

Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

De broglie wavelength, $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$ , where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

$h = 6.63*10^{-34}$

Mass of hydrogen atom, $m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg$

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

Wavelength $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m$

$1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm$

So the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm

The superheroine Xanaxa, who has a mass of 68.1 kg , is pursuing the 75.3 kg archvillain Lexlax. She leaps from the ground to th

Alexandra [31]

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

$U = mg\Delta h$

Here,

$\Delta h$ = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

$\Delta h = h_f - h_i$

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

$h_f = -16.1m$

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

$\Delta h = -16.1m-0m$

$\Delta h = -16.1m$

Replacing all this values we have,

$U = mg\Delta h$

$U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)$

$U = -10744.81J$

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

Dimension of density <br>

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

We know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

$Ro = m/V$

where:

m = mass [kg]

V = volume [m³]

Therefore Ro is given in:

$[kg/m^{3} ]$
