Carbon(6 protons) + 2 protons = 8 protons

Oxygen = element with 8 protons

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the total number of all the protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, a carbon atom has atomic number 6 and it has 6 neutrons.

Atomic number also means the total number of protons present in an atom.

Hence, atomic mass of this carbon atom will be (6 protons + 6 neutrons) = 12.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom then atomic mass of this carbon atom will be as follows.

Atomic mass = [(6 + 2) protons + (2 + 6) neutrons]

= 16

As it is known that oxygen is the element that has atomic mass 16 and atomic number 8.

Therefore, we can conclude that the nucleus of given carbon atoms has converted into the nucleus of oxygen atom.

Let's check the relationship

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow g\propto G$

Raindrops will fall faster . .
Also walking on ground would become more difficult as g increases.

Option C is wrong by now .Let's check D once

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow T\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{g}}$

So time period of simple pendulum would decrease.

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.81 mand the mass of the particle (the "bob") at the end of the cable is0.23 kg. The pendulu

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

$M=0.0182\ J$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

Explanation:

Simple Pendulum

It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).

(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.81}}$

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as

$U=mgh$

where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that

$H+Y=L$

And

$H=L\ cos\alpha$

Solving for Y

$Y=L(1-cos\alpha )$

$Since\ \alpha=8.1^o, L=0.81\ m$

$Y=0.0081\ m$

The potential energy is

$U=mgh=0.23\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2)(0.0081\ m)$

$U=0.0182\ J$

The mechanical energy is, then

$M=K+U=0+U=U$

$M=0.0182\ J$

(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)

$\displaystyle \frac{mv^2}{2}=0.0182$

Solving for v

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.0182)}{0.23}}$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the required temperature increase to close the gap at C.

Leni [432]

Answer:

$T&=\frac{\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC}}{2\alpha E}$

Explanation:

The given data :-

Diameter of rod AB ( d₁ ) = 200 mm.

Diameter of rod BC ( d₂ ) = 150 mm.

The linear co-efficient of thermal expansion of copper ( ∝ ) = 1.6 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

The young's modulus of elasticity of copper ( E ) = 120 GPa = 120 × 10³ MPa.
Consider the required temperature increase to close the gap at C = T °C
Consider the change in length of the rod = бL

Solution :-

$\begin{aligned}\sum H& =0\\-R_A+R_C&=0\\R_A&=R_C\\R_A&=R\\R_C&=R\\R_{A}&=\text{reaction\:force\:at\:A}\\R_{C}&=\text{reaction\:force\:at\:C}\\\sigma_{AB}&=\text{axial\:stress\:at\:A}\\\sigma_{BC}&=\text{axial\:stress\:at\:B}\\\sigma_{AB}&=\frac{R}{A_{A}}\\&=\frac{R_{A}}{A_{A}}\\\sigma_{BC}&=\frac{R_{B}}{A_{B}}\\&=\frac{R}{A_{B}}\\\frac{\sigma_{AB}}{\sigma_{BC}}&=\frac{A_{B}}{A_{B}}\\&=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot 150^{2}}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot 200^{2}}\\&=\frac{9}{16}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\delta L&= (\delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{AB} + ( \delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{BC}\\0& = (\delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{AB} + ( \delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{BC}\\&=\left[\alpha\:T\:L+\left(\frac{-RL}{AE}\right)\right]_{AB}+\left[\alpha\:T\:L+\left(\frac{-RL}{AE}\right)\right]_{BC}\\&=2\:\alpha\:T\:L-\frac{L}{E}(\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC})\\T&=\frac{\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC}}{2\alpha E}\end{aligned}$
