A gold nucleus (with a radius of 6.5 fm in its rest system, containing 197 protons and neutrons of rest mass 939 MeV/c2 each) is

accelerated to a speed of 0.97 c. Calculate (a) the momentum of an individual nucleon (ignoring binding energy effects). (b) the total energy of the gold nucleus, including its binding energy of 7.9 MeV per nucleon. (c) the diameter of the gold nucleus in the direction of motion as seen by an observer at rest.

Answer:

1.9982154567\times 10^{-18}\ kgm/s

762474.685899 MeV

3.1603639031 fm

Explanation:

v = 0.97 c

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Relativistic momentum is given by

p=\dfrac{m_0v}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow p=\dfrac{939\times 10^6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.97\times 3\times 10^8}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.97^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow p=\dfrac{(939\times 10^6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19})J/c^2\times 0.97c}{\sqrt{1-0.97^2}}\\\Rightarrow p=\dfrac{(939\times 10^6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19})\times 0.97}{c\sqrt{1-0.97^2}}\\\Rightarrow p=\dfrac{(939\times 10^6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19})\times 0.97}{3\times 10^8\times \sqrt{1-0.97^2}}\\\Rightarrow p=1.9982154567\times 10^{-18}\ kgm/s

The momentum is 1.9982154567\times 10^{-18}\ kgm/s

Energy in MeV

E=\dfrac{m_0c^2}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{939}{\sqrt{1-0.97^2}}\\\Rightarrow E=3862.52987766\ MeV

Total energy is

E'=3862.52987766+7.9=3870.42987766\ MeV

The total energy is 3870.42987766 MeV

For all the nucleons

E_t=197\times 3870.42987766=762474.685899\ MeV

The energy is 762474.685899 MeV

Diameter = 2\times 6.5=13\ fm

From length contraction

D'=D\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}\\\Rightarrow D'=13\sqrt{1-0.97^2}\\\Rightarrow D'=3.1603639031\ fm

The diameter would be 3.1603639031 fm

user100 [1]

Explanation:

C) is incorrect.  The mass is equivalent to the moment of inertia in an angular formula.

The others appear all correct.

T * theta = F * r * theta = F * (r theta) = fx = work

This is the only one that needed explanation.  The others should be obvious.

A model that shows the many interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem is a food .
arlik [135]

Answer:

Since ecosystems contain many different species of animals, plants, and other organisms, consumers have a variety of food sources. The pattern of feeding represented by these interconnected and branching food chains is called a food web. Figure 36-3 shows how food chains within a food web are interconnected.

Why is it important to use the correct number of significant digits when
Pani-rosa [81]

A. To show how precise your measurements were

Explanation:

It is important to use the correct number of significant digits when reporting the results of an experiment because they show how precise measurement are.

  • Precision is the ability to reproduce a particular set of results in an experiment.
  • Every instrument have their precision level.
  • The precision levels shows to what extent the values obtained can be trusted..
  • Significant figures are not only important in recording measurements, they are also needed for calculations in science.

A motorboat traveling from one shore to the other at a rate of 5m/s east encounters a current flowing at a rate of 3.5m/s north
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Resultant velocity will be equal to 6.10 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given a motorbike is traveling with 5 m/sec in east

And a current is flowing at a rate of 3.5 m /sec in north

We know that east and north is perpendicular to each other

So resultant velocity will be vector sum of both velocity

So resultant velocity v=\sqrt{5^2+3.5^2}=6.10m/sec

So resultant velocity will be equal to 6.10 m/sec
