Gravity decreases with the square of the distance, so the new force is (20)/(2*2) = 5N.

It's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 3.2-mm-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.1 mm above the e

Savatey [412]

Answer: 5.30m

Explanation:

depth of pool = 3.2 m

i = 67.75°

Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

n₁ = 1, n₂ =1.33, r= 44.09°

Hence,

Distance of Google from edge if pool is:

2.2 + d×tan(r) = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) =5.30m

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 4 mm/s. how fast is the volume increasing when the diameter is 40 mm?

marin [14]

Using r to represent the radius and t for time, you can write the first rate as:

drdt=4mms

r=r(t)=4t

The formula for a solid sphere's volume is:

V=V(r)=43πr3

When you take the derivative of both sides with respect to time...

dVdt=43π(3r2)(drdt)

...remember the Chain Rule for implicit differentiation. The general format for this is:

dV(r)dt=dV(r)dr(t)⋅dr(t)dt with V=V(r) and r=r(t) .

So, when you take the derivative of the volume, it is with respect to its variable r (dV(r)dr(t)) , but we want to do it with respect to t (dV(r)dt) . Since r=r(t) and r(t) is implicitly a function of t , to make the equality work, you have to multiply by the derivative of the function r(t) with respect to t (dr(t)dt) as well. That way, you're taking a derivative along a chain of functions, so to speak (V→r→t ).

Now what you can do is simply plug in what r is (note you were given diameter) and what drdt is, because dVdt describes the rate of change of the volume over time, of a sphere.

dVdt=43π(3(20mm)2)(4mms) =6400πmm3s

Since time just increases, and the radius increases as a function of time, and the volume increases as a function of a constant times the radius cubed, the volume increases faster than the radius increases, so we can't just say the two rates are the same.

Given the isotope 2Fes, which has an actual mass of 55.934939 u: a) b) Determine the mass defect of the nucleus in atomic mass u

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Mass defect of each iron-56 nuclei:

The binding energy per nucleon of Iron-56 is approximately 8.6 MeV.

Explanation:

According to the physics constants table on Chemistry Libretexts:

Proton rest mass: $\rm 1.0072765\;amu$ ;
Neutron rest mass: $\rm 1.0086649\; amu$ .
Speed of light in vacuum: $\rm 2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .
Charge on an electron: $\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C$ .

The mass defect of a nucleus is equal to the sum of the mass of its parts (protons and, in most cases, neutrons) minus the mass of the nucleus.

The atomic number of iron is 26. There are 26 protons in each iron-56 nucleus. The mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons (neutrons and protons) in each iron-56 nucleus. The other $56 - 26 = 30$ particles are neutrons.

The mass of protons and neutrons in each iron-56 nucleus will be:

$\rm 26 \times 1.0072765 + 30 \times 1.0086649 = 56.464736\;amu$ .

According to this question, the mass of an iron-56 nucleus is equal to 55.934939 amu. The mass defect will be

$\rm 56.464736 - 55.934939 = 0.514197\;amu$ .

By the mass-energy equivalence,

$E = m\cdot c^{2}$ .

Refer to this equation, the speed of light in vacuum $c^{2}$ is the conversion factor between mass $m$ and energy $E$ . The value of $c$ is usually given only in SI units $\rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ . Accordingly, the value of $c^{2}$ will be in the SI unit $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ .

Convert million electron-volts to joules.

One electron-volt is equal to the electrical work done moving an electron across a potential difference of one volt.

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1 MeV&= \rm 10^{6}\; eV\\ &= \rm (10^{6}\times 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C)\times 1\; V\\&=\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;J\end{aligned}$ .

Convert the unit of $c^{2}$ from $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ to the desired $\rm MeV \cdot amu^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}c^{2} &= \rm {\left(2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\&=\rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\\ &= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\\&= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\times \frac{1\;MeV}{1.6021765\times 10^{-13}\;J}\times \frac{1\times 10^{-3}\;kg}{6.022142\times 10^{23}\;amu}\\&\approx \rm 931.602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Total binding energy in each iron-56 nucleus:

$\begin{aligned}E &= m\cdot c^{2}\\&= \rm 0.514197\;amu \times 9.31602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1} \\&=\rm 479.027038\; MeV \end{aligned}$ .

Again, the mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons in each iron-56 nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon of iron-56 $\mathrm{^{56}Fe}$ will be:
