1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W

hat happens to this “lost” mass?

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.

A man is standing on a weighing machine on a ship which is bobbing up and down with simple harmonic motion of period T=15.0s.Ass
STALIN [3.7K]

Well, first of all, one who is sufficiently educated to deal with solving
this exercise is also sufficiently well informed to know that a weighing
machine, or "scale", should not be calibrated in units of "kg" ... a unit
of mass, not force.  We know that the man's mass doesn't change,
and the spectre of a readout in kg that is oscillating is totally bogus.

If the mass of the man standing on the weighing machine is 60kg, then
on level, dry land on Earth, or on the deck of a ship in calm seas on Earth,
the weighing machine will display his weight as  588 newtons  or as 
132.3 pounds.  That's also the reading as the deck of the ship executes
simple harmonic motion, at the points where the vertical acceleration is zero.

If the deck of the ship is bobbing vertically in simple harmonic motion with
amplitude of M and period of 15 sec, then its vertical position is 

                                     y(t) = y₀ + M sin(2π t/15) .

The vertical speed of the deck is     y'(t) = M (2π/15) cos(2π t/15)

and its vertical acceleration is          y''(t) = - (2πM/15) (2π/15) sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - (4 π² M / 15²)  sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - 0.1755 M sin(2π t/15) .

There's the important number ... the  0.1755 M.
That's the peak acceleration.
From here, the problem is a piece-o-cake.

The net vertical force on the intrepid sailor ... the guy standing on the
bathroom scale out on the deck of the ship that's "bobbing" on the
high seas ... is (the force of gravity) + (the force causing him to 'bob'
harmonically with peak acceleration of  0.1755 x amplitude).

At the instant of peak acceleration, the weighing machine thinks that
the load upon it is a mass of  65kg, when in reality it's only  60kg.
The weight of 60kg = 588 newtons.
The weight of 65kg = 637 newtons.
The scale has to push on him with an extra (637 - 588) = 49 newtons
in order to accelerate him faster than gravity.

Now I'm going to wave my hands in the air a bit:

Apparent weight = (apparent mass) x (real acceleration of gravity)

(Apparent mass) = (65/60) = 1.08333 x real mass.

Apparent 'gravity' = 1.08333 x real acceleration of gravity.

The increase ... the 0.08333 ... is the 'extra' acceleration that's due to
the bobbing of the deck.

                        0.08333 G  =  0.1755 M

The 'M' is what we need to find.

Divide each side by  0.1755 :          M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) G

'G' = 9.0 m/s²
                                       M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) (9.8) =  4.65 meters .

That result fills me with an overwhelming sense of no-confidence.
But I'm in my office, supposedly working, so I must leave it to others
to analyze my work and point out its many flaws.
In any case, my conscience is clear ... I do feel that I've put in a good
5-points-worth of work on this problem, even if the answer is wrong .

A parallel plate capacitor fully charged to voltage V is connected to the battery (the voltage on the plates remains fixed). If
Papessa [141]

Charge will decreases.

A parallel plate capacitor when it is fully charged to voltage V is given as:

                    C = Q/V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with two plates of Area A separated by distance d and no dielectric material between plates is

                    C = ε₀ A /d

since from above equation it shows C is proportional to Q and also C is inversely proportional to distance d.

So, ATQ when d increases C will decrease which in result decreases charge on the capacitor.

Thus,  Charge will decrease.

5. What is the speed of a wave in a spring if it has a wavelength of 10 cm and a period of 0.2s
eimsori [14]

Explanation:

speed of wave

v = wavelength x frequency

since frequency is f = 1/Period then

v = wavelength : Period

v = 10 cm/ 0.2 s = 50 cm/s

v = 0.5 m/s
