The reason your able to see yourself in mirror is because it's a reflective surface and light comes and reflects of a reflective surface, it's not just because somethings shiny.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 64.g bullet moving at a speed of 411.ms . Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the bullet is 5.4 × 10³ J

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the bullet.

v = speed of the bullet.

Let´s convert the mass unit to kg so that our result is in Joules:

64 g · ( 1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.064 kg

Then, the kinetic energy will be the following:

KE = 1/2 · 0.064 kg · (411 m/s)²

KE = 5.4 × 10³ J

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

$\Delta U = q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

For a proton,

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And since $\Delta V=100 V$

The energy gained by the proton is

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

For an alpha particle,

$q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the energy gained is

$\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Calculate the approximate volume of a uranium nucleus, 23592u. (you can ignore the mass defect in this calculation and simply ta

tester [92]

Radius of nuclei is given by formula

$R = R_oA^{1/3}$

now we can say volume of the nuclei is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R_o^3* A$

now the density is given as

density = mass / volume

mass of nuclei = mass of neutron + mass of protons

$m = z*m_p + (A- z)*m_n$

$m_p = m_n = 1.008u$

$m = A*1.008u$

Now density is given as

$\rho = \frac{A*1.008u}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_0^3* A}$

here we know that

$R_0$ = 1.2 fm

$\rho = \frac{1.008u}{\frac{4}{3}\pi*(1.2*10^{-15})^3}$

$\rho = 2.31 * 10^{17} kg/m^3$

So from above we can say that density of all nuclei is almost same.
