If an isotope has 8 protons and 10 neutrons in it's nucleus, what is it's atomic mass?

1 answer:

8 0

The atomic mass is always equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. If you add the number of protons and neutrons (8 + 10) = 18 you will find that the atomic mass is 18.

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.

A solid cylinder is released from the top of an inclined plane of height 0.81 m. From what height, in meters, on the incline sho

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

same 0.81m

Explanation:

in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation

change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy

mgh = 0.5mv^2

gh = 0.5v^2

the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.

so at the bottom

put h = 0.81m

9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2

v=3.99 m/s

both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun

cluponka [151]

Answer:Highest frequency =618.89Hz

Lowest frequency=582.22Hz

Explanation:

The linear velocity of a sound generator is related to angular velocity and is given as

Vs = rω where

r = the radius of circular path = 1.0 m

ω is the angular velocity of the sound generator. = 100 rpm

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

100rpm =10.472 rad/ s

Vs = rω

= 1m x 10.472rad/ s= 10.472m/s

A) Highest frequency heard by a student in the classroom = Maximum frequency. Using the Doppler effect formulae,

f max = (v/ v-vs) fs

Where , v is the speed of the sound in air at 20 degrees celcius =

343 metres per second

vs is the linear velocity of the sound generator=10.472m/s

fs is the frequency of the sound generator= 600 Hz

f max = (343/ 343 - 10.472) x 600

=343/332.528) x600

=618.89Hz

B) Lowest frequency heard by a student in the classroom = Minimum frequency

f min = (v/ v+vs) fs

(343/ 343 + 10.472) x 600

=343/353.472) x 600

=582.22hz
