Physics how to calculate disintegration energy

1 answer:

4 0

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data (a) Calculate the disintegration energy when 232/92U decays by alpha emission into 228/90Th. Atomic masses of 232/92U and 228/90Th are 232.037156u and 228.028741u, respectively. (b) For the 232/92U decay in part (a), how much of the disintegration energy will be carried off by the alpha particle? Given: Mass of 4/2He = 4.002603u c^2 = 931.5MeV

2. Relevant equations E=mc^2

3. The attempt at a solution Well for part (a), first I found the difference in the starting masses and the end masses ie, 232.037156u - (228.028741u + 4.002603u) = 0.005812u I then put this into the equation and got 5.413878MeV. I thought this was right until I read part (b) and now I'm starting to think this might be how I'm meant to do that part, not part (a). Could anyone tell me if I'm even on the right track with this question or should I be using different equations?

Suppose that a parallel-plate capacitor has circular plates with radius R = 25 mm and a plate separation of 4.7 mm. Suppose also

Answer:

a) $B_{max} = 1.784*10^{-12}$

Explanation:

Given paraeters are:

R = 25 cm

d = 4.7 mm

f = 60 Hz

$V_m$ = 160 V

a) $V = V_msin(2\pi ft)$

Where $f = 60$ Hz and $V_m = 160$ V

$E =V/d= \frac{V_msin(2\pi ft)}{d}$

For $r = R$

$A = \pi R^2$

Since $\Phi_E = EA$

$\Phi_E=\frac{\pi R^2V_msin(2\pi ft) }{d}$

From Ampere's Law:

$\int B.ds = \mu_0\epsilon_0\frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} + \mu_0I_{encl}$ where $I_{encl}=0$

So at $r = R$ ,

$B.2\pi R = \mu_0\epsilon_0\frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}\\B.2\pi R = \mu_0\epsilon_0\frac{2\pi^2fR^2V_mcos(2\pi ft)}{d}\\B = \frac{\mu_0\epsilon_0\pi fRV_mcos(2\pi ft)}{d}$

For maximum B, cos(2πft) = 1. Hence,

$B_{max}=\frac{\mu_0\epsilon_0\pi fRV_m}{d}=\frac{4\pi*10^{-7}*8.85*10^{-12}*\pi*60*0.025*160}{4.7*10^{-3}}=1.784*10^{-12}$ T

b) From r = 0 to r = R = 0.025 m, by Ampere's Law, the equation will be:

$B = \frac{\mu_0\epsilon_0\pi fR^2V_m}{rd}$

From r = R = 0.025 m to r = 0.1 m, by Ampere's Law, the equation will be:

$B = \frac{\mu_0\epsilon_0\pi fRV_m}{d}$

The plot is given in the attachment.

TEA [102]

Answer:

4 m/s or 4 meters per second.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of wave, you multiply the wavelength in meters and the frequency of the Wave in Hertz. 2 times 2 equals 4. The wave speed is always in m/s considering that the wavelength is also in meters.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: it is incorrect because skepticism helps scientists recognize when ideas are not supported by evidence.

Explanation:

Skepticism is simply the understanding that there can be uncertainty when it comes to knowledge in certain areas.

From the question, we are informed that John doesn't think that skepticism should play an important role in the scientific process and that he says that skepticism interferes with scientific consensus.

The statement that best describes John's conclusion is that it is incorrect because skepticism helps scientists recognize when ideas are not supported by evidence.
