1. The mass defect of iron-56 is 0.52875 amu. What is the energy equivalent of this mass?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Hello! Your answer is BELOW

Explanation:

1.About 91.754% of all iron is iron-56. Of all nuclides, iron-56 has the lowest mass per nucleon. With 8.8 MeV binding energy per nucleon, iron-56 is one of the most tightly bound nuclei.

2.The atomic weight of lead is quite variable in nature because the three heaviest isotopes are the stable end-products of the radioactive decay of uranium (238U to 206Pb and 235U to 207Pb) and thorium (232Th to 208Pb).

3.Mass defect for uranium-238 is 3.983 × 10-25 kg.

4.Energy and Mass Are Relative

The equation E = mc^2 states that the amount of energy possessed by an object is equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.

Hope I helped! Ask me anything if you have any questions. Brainiest plz!♥ Hope you make a 100%. Have a nice morning! -Amelia♥

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2}  + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s

If the frequency of a wave is 400hz and it’s wave length is2.5 what is the velocity ?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To begin with, we can use the formula that links frequency, wavelength and velocity.

Because you already have the wavelength and the frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

Therefore, 400 x 2.5 = 1000m/s.

Hope this helps :)
