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.

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti
Igoryamba

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

a)

  • There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
  • Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
  • So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

       F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)

b)

  • The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

       F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N  (2)

c)

  • According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

       a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2  (3)

A cube made Of an unknown material has a height of 9 symeters the mass of this cube is 3645 g. calculate the density of this cub
kherson [118]

Answer: 5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Explanation:

The density \rho of a material is given by:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

m=3645 g is the mass of the cube

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the volume of a cube is equal to the length L of its edge to the power of 3:

V=L^{3} (2)

If we know L=9 cm, the volume of this cube is:

V=(9 cm)^{3}=729 cm^{3} (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

\rho=\frac{3645 g}{729 cm^{3}} (4)

\rho=5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}} This is the density of the cube

Given that:<br><br> = 2i + 9j ; and ⃗ = -i – 4j . Find . ⃗ ​
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A.B = -38

Explanation:

A = 2i + 9j and B = -i - 4j.

So, A.B = (2i + 9j).(-i - 4j)

= 2i.(-i) + 2i.(-4j) + 9j.(-i) + 9j.(-4j)

= -2i.i - 8i.j - 9j.i - 36j.j

since i.i = 1, j.j = 1, i.j = 0 and j.i = 0, we have

A.B = -2(1) - 8(0) - 9(0) - 36(1)

A.B = -2 - 0 - 0 - 36

A.B = -38
