Answer: 0.007044 g

Explanation:

1) mass defect is the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons.

3) He has two protons.

4) The istope given is ³₂ He, which means it has 2 protons and 1 neutron.

5) The masses of neutrons and protons are taken from a table (from a textbook or the internet)

Mass of 2 mol of protons: 2 × 6.022 × 10 ²³ protons/mol × 1.6726 × 10 ⁻²⁴ g/mol = 2.014447944 g

Mass of 1 mol of neutrons = 1 × 6.022 × 10²³ neutrons/mol × 1.6749 × 10 ⁻²⁴ g/mol = 1.00862478 g

Sum = 2.014447944 g + 1.00862478 g = 3.023072724 g

6) mass deffect = 3.023072724g - 3.016029 g = 0.007043724

7) Round to 4 significant figures: 0.007044 g

That is the answer: 0.007044 g

An analog signal carries information by copying an original sound
When we speak through the microphone, it turns our sound into some sort of electronic wave.
This electronic wave is caught by a recording device and later could be replicated into Mp3 file that we usually listen to

An oscillating block - spring system has a mechanical energy of 1.10 j, and amplitude of 11.0 cm, and a maximum speed of 1.7 m/s
ioda
The total mechanical energy of the block-spring system is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the block:
E=U+K= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring
m is the mass of the block
v is the speed of the block

At the point of maximum displacement of the spring, the velocity of the block is zero: v=0, so the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy of the spring:
E= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)
where we used x=A, the amplitude (which is the maximum displacement of the spring).
Since we know 
A = 11.0 cm= 0.11 m
E = 1.10 J
We can re-arrange (1) to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{2E}{A^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 1.10 J}{(0.11 m)^2}=181.8 N/m
