Answer: Gravitational force
Explanation:
A non contact force can be described as a force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it.
For example, an object thrown upwards will return back due to the force of gravity acting on it. So, it means Gravitational force is acting on the body without necessarily being in contact with that body.
Answer:
11.6532 x 10⁻¹¹ J or 7.3 MeV is given off
Explanation:
Mass of an alpha particle = 4.0026u, ∴ mass of three = 12.0078u
Find the difference in mass.
Mass of three alpha - Mass of Carbon nucleus
12.0078u - 12u = 0.0078u
Since 1u = 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
Therefore, 0.0078u = 1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷
Now that we know Mass(m) = 1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷ and Speed (c) 3 x 10⁸ m²s⁻²
Formular for Energy ==> E₀ = mc²
E = (1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷) (3 x 10⁸ m²s⁻²)²
E = (1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷) (9 x 10¹⁶) J
E = 11.6532 x 10⁻¹¹ J
Or, if you need your energy in MeV
1 MeV = 1.60x10⁻¹³ J
Just do the conversion by dividing 11.6532 x 10⁻¹¹ J by 1.60x10⁻¹³ J
It will give you 7.3 MeV
