The Americium nucleus, 241 95 Am, decays to a Neptunium nucleus, 237 93 Np, by emitting an alpha particle of mass 4.00260 u and

kinetic energy 5.5 MeV. Estimate the mass of the Neptunium nucleus, ignoring its recoil, given that the Americium mass is 241.05682 u

Answer:

The mass of Neptunium is 237.054 u.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Americium = 241.05682 u

Mass of alpha particle = 4.00260 u

The equation is,

_{95}^{241}Am\rightarrow _{93}^{237}NP+\alpha\ particle+5.5 MeV

Let the mass of Neptunium is m.

Since the mass remain same.

We need to calculate the mass of Neptunium

Using formula of mass

Mass of Neptunium =  Mass of Americium -Mass of alpha particle

Put the value into the formula

m=241.05682 -4.00260

m=237.054\ u

Hence, The mass of Neptunium is 237.054 u.

If a marathon runner averages 9.51 mi/hr, how long does it take him to run a 26.220-mile marathon. Express your answers in hours
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

Speed of the marathon runner, v = 9.51 mi/hr

Distance covered by the runner, d = 26.220 mile

Let t is the time taken by the marathon runner. We know that the speed of the runner is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Mathematically, it is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{26.220\ mi}{9.51\ mi/hr}

t = 2.75 hours

Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes

t = 165 minutes

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

t = 9900 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV? (i)\:\:\:\:\:9.5\:\times\:10^5\:m
andre [41]

Answer:

Velocity of a proton, v=1.7\times 10^6\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Potential difference, V=15\ kV=15\times 10^3\ V

Let v is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV.

Using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

q is the charge of proton

m is the mass of proton

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 15\times 10^3\ V}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg}

v=1695361.75\ m/s

v=1.69\times 10^6\ m/s

or

v=1.7\times 10^6\ m/s

So, the velocity of a proton is 1.7\times 10^6\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The irreversible thermite reaction (Fe2O3 + 2 Al --> 2 Fe + Al2O3) is highly exothermic, changing the temperature by over 100
likoan [24]

Answer:

the water will boil and change into a gas

Explanation:

This is because it is exothermic and releases the energy into the surroundings and the fact that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius
