A helium atom has a mass of mHe= 4.002604 u. When disassembled into its constituent subatomic particles (2 protons, 2 neutrons,

and 2 electrons), the well separated individual particles have the following masses: mp=1.007276 u, mn=1.008665 u, and me=0.000549 u. a. How much work, in Joules, is required to completed disassemble a Helium atom? b. Estimate how much work is required to completely disassemble all the helium.

Answer:

28.295244 MeV

Explanation:

m_p = Mass of proton = 1.007276 u

m_n = Mass of neutron = 1.008665 u

m_e = Mass of electron = 0.000549 u

Mass of reactant is 4.002604 u

Mass of the products is

2\times (m_p+m_n+m_e)=2\times (1.007276+1.008665+0.000549)=4.03298\ u

(2 because there are 2 of each)

The difference in mass is

4.03298-4.002604=0.030376\ u

So, the work done in MeV would be

0.030376\times 931.5=28.295244\ MeV

The work done required to completely disassemble all the helium is 28.295244 MeV

A uniform disk with a 25 cm radius swings without friction about a nail through the rim. If it is released from rest from a posi
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the swing , the center of mass will go down due to which disc will lose potential energy which will be converted into rotational kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 I ω² where m is mass of the disc , h is height by which c.m goes down which will be equal to radius of disc , I is moment of inertia of disc about the nail at rim , ω is angular velocity .

mgr  = 1/2 x ( 1/2 m r²+ mr²) x ω²

gr  = 1/2 x 1/2  r² x ω² + 1/2r² x ω²

g = 1 / 4 x ω² r + 1 / 2 x ω² r

g = 3  x ω² r/ 4

ω² = 4g /3 r

= 4 x 9.8 /  3 x  .25

= 52.26

ω = 7.23  rad / s .

Which means for obtaining hydrogen from water would require the most energy??
Flauer [41]
I think the correct answer would be to electrolyze water (run an electric current through it) to decompose it into hydrogen and oxygen. Assuming 100% efficiency, it is said that it needs about 40kWh per kilogram of water to fully decompose it.

What is the mechanical energy of a 500kg rollercoaster car moving with a speed of 3m/s at the top hill that is 30m high
koban [17]

K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J

m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J

2250 + 147000 = 149250

What is an experience from everyday life that appears to support the geocentric model
fomenos
<span>One everyday life experience that seems to support the geocentric model is the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon. The Moon rises and falls because it does revolve around the Earth and so it is easy to assume the same is true for the Sun.</span>
