The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.
Theoretical mass of Mg-24:
The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:
Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu
Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu
Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu
Note that the mass defect is:
Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu
Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:
So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon
A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).
A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:
We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:
The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:
