Answer: 3729.87MeV

Explanation:

²³¹₉₁Pa → ²²⁷₈₉Ac + ⁴₂He

Molar mass of of He = 4.0

Number of moles = 1

Na (Avogadro's number) = 6.023*10²³ atoms

Note : 1 mole = molarmass = Avogadro's number

Molar mass = 4.000 * 1 = 4g = 4*10^-3 kg

Mass = (number of moles * molar mass ) / Avogadro's number.

Mass = 4.0*10^-3 / 6.023*10^-23

Mass = 6.64 * 10^-27 kg

from Einstein's theory of relativity, energy E and mass m are interconvertible.

∇E = ∇mc²

E = (6.64*10^-27) * (3.0*10⁸)²

E = 5.98*10^-10J

1eV = 1.602*10-19J

XeV = 5.98*10-19J

X = (5.98*10^-10 * 1) / 1.602*10-19

X = 37328333958eV

X = 3729.87MeV

Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) The overall work done by gravity is zero  

This statement is correct .

If m be the mass of each of the children and h be the height of tower

work done by gravity on the boys in going up = - mgh

it is so because force applied by gravity = mg downwards and displacement

is upwards

work done will be negative = - mgh

Work done by gravity on boys when they come down = + mgh because both force and displacement are downwards .

Hence total work done = - mgh + mgh = 0.

The children will have same kinetic energy as the inclined surface is friction-less so no energy will be dissipated hence addition of energy to boys in both the cases will be same.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 48.0 cm . The explorer finds that
Ber [7]

Answer:

g = 12.22 m/s²

Explanation:

The time period of this pendulum is given as follows:

T = \frac{time\ taken}{no. of cycles}\\\\T = \frac{144\ s}{93}\\\\T = 1.55\ s

but the formula for the time period of a simple pendulum is as follows:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\

where,

L = length of pednulum = 48 cm = 0.48 m

g = magnitude of th gravitational acceleration on this planet = ?

Therefore,

1.55\ s=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.48\ m}{g}}\\\\\sqrt{g} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.48\ m}{1.55\ s}}\\\\g = 3.49^{2}\\

<u>g = 12.22 m/s²</u>
