The combustion of a single molecule of methane produces about 10 ev of energy. a methane molecule has a mass of 16 amu. the fiss

ion of a uranium-235 atom produces about 189 mev of energy. based on these numbers, about what mass of methane will produce as much energy as a single gram of uranium-235?

If one molecule of methane produces 10eV then we need:
n=\frac{189MeV}{10eV},
molecules of methane to get 189MeV.
n=\frac{189MeV}{10eV}=\frac{189}{10}\cdot 10^6=18900000
To get the mass we simply multiply this number by the mass of one molecule of methane.
m=16\cdot18900000=302400000amu
One atomic mass unit is:
amu=1.66053904\cdot 10^{-24}$g
There we would need:
m=302400000\cdot1.66053904\cdot 10^{-24}=5.0214701\cdot10^{-16}$g
grams of methane.

10. Which of the following is an acceleration?<br> a. 12 m/s2 down<br> b. 5 m/s up<br> c. 8N West
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. 12 m/s² down

Explanation:

Acceleration has units of length per time squared.  Acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction.

An electron moving in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 1.6 107 m/s undergoes an acceleration
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

B = 0.024T positive z-direction

Explanation:

In this case you consider that the direction of the motion of the electron, and the direction of the magnetic field are perpendicular.

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the electron is given by the following formula:

F=qvB     (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

v: speed of the electron = 1.6*10^7 m/s

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = ?

By the Newton second law you also have that the magnetic force is equal to:

F=qvB=ma       (2)

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

a: acceleration of the electron = 7.0*10^16 m/s^2

You solve for B from the equation (2):

B=\frac{ma}{qv}\\\\B=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(7.0*10^{16}m/s^2)}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(1.6*10^7m/s)}\\\\B=0.024T

The direction of the magnetic field is found by using the right hand rule.

The electron moves upward (+^j). To obtain a magnetic forces points to the positive x-direction (+^i), the direction of the magnetic field has to be to the positive z-direction (^k). In fact, you have:

-^j X ^i = ^k

Where the minus sign of the ^j is because of the negative charge of the electron.

Then, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.024T and its direction is in the positive z-direction

A 0.0600-kilogram ball traveling at 60.0 meters
Vikki [24]
     The momentum of ball is given by:

\Delta Q=mv \\ \Delta Q=6*10^{-2}*60 \\ \Delta Q=3.6kg*m/s
  
     Since both have the same momentum, we have:

\Delta Q=MV \\ 3.6=10^{-2}V \\ \boxed {V=360m/s}

Number 3

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

He vector parts that add up to the resultant are called ____.
cupoosta [38]

1. Answer: components

A two dimensional vector can be divided into two parts called horizontal component and vertical component.

A three dimensional vector can be divided into three components: one along x-axis, one along y-axis and one along z-axis.

Hence, the vector parts that add up to the resultant are called components.

2. Answer: 5 miles.

The resultant distance along the straight line from the starting point to the end point would be the displacement.

The displacement would be equal to the magnitude of the hypotenuse formed in the right triangle.

Displacement, d=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5 miles

3. Answer: Scalar

A scalar quantity has only magnitude. For example, speed and distance are scalar quantities and can be normally added to find the total.

A vector quantity has both magnitude as well as direction. The components are summed according to vector addition rules. For example, velocity, acceleration, force etc.
