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.

How long will it take to fall 50 m?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

Since we aren't the given the time, lets say that an object to 25 seconds to fall 50 meters. We can use the formula [ s = d/t ] to solve.

s = 50/25

s = 2

Therefore, the object was falling at a rate of 2 meters per second.

Best of Luck!

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f

V_1+3V_2=4V_f and making V_f the subject then

V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4} and since V_1 is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, V_2 is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and v_f is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ

Final kinetic energy is given by

\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

-g A small block is attached to an ideal spring and is moving in SHM on a horizontal frictionless surface. The amplitude of the
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Amplitude ,A= 0.165 m

The maximum speed ,V(max) = 3.9 m/s

We know that maximum velocity in the SHM  given as

V(max)  = ω A

ω=Angular speed

A=Amplitude

\omega =\dfrac{3.9}{0.165}\ rad/s

ω=23.63 rad/s

The maximum acceleration given as

a = ω² A

a= (23.63)² x 0.165 m/s²

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Therefore the maximum magnitude of the acceleration will be 92. 13 m/s².
