A. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom. Write 3 - 4 sentences describing the electrostatic force between each pa

ir of particles (proton-proton, proton-neutron, neutron-neutron) and the strong nuclear force between each pair of particles.
b. Write 3 -4 sentences explaining why a nucleus tends to become less stable if the number of neutron is decreased.

c. Write 2 -3 sentences describing Einstein's explanation for why the total starting mass is greater than the total ending mass after a nuclear reaction.

a) Proton-proton: high repulsive electrostatic, very high attractive nuclear force. Proton-neutron: no electrostatic forces since neutrons are not charge carriers, high attractive nuclear force. Neutron-neutron: no electrostatic force for the same reason and huge attractive nuclear force.

b) There are two types of forces in the nuclei: repulsive electrostatic and attractive nuclear. Nuclear act between all nucleons, electrostatic only between protons. To make a nucleus stronger, increase number of attractive forces by increasing amount of neutrons.

c) Cause due to equivalence between mass and energy E=mc^2 change in energy (which happens in nuclear reaction) causes on change in mass. Starting mass just converts to energy, that's why it's greater than the ending mass.

Answer:

a) Electrostatic force between proton and proton will be repulsive. Electrostatic force between proton and neutron will be attractive .Electrostatic force between neutron and neutron will be zero. Strong nuclear force between proton and proton , neutron and proton and neutron and neutron will be attractive and their magnitude will be far greater . Electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two particles and the nuclear force is inversely proportional to greater power of the distance between the particles. In other words nuclear force between any two nuclear particles changes at very fast rate when we change the distance between them.

b) If the number of neutron in nucleus  is decreased , the average distance between any two protons is decreased . Due to it,  the repulsive force between them is increased. Therefore nucleus becomes less stable.

Explanation:

c)  After the nuclear reactions like fusion or fission , total mass of the product is less than the total mass of total  reactant . It is due to conversion of some mass of reactant into energy. This energy is released as heat, light and sound energy. The product becomes more stable.

Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate 22 cm 3 22 cm in size. The heat gen
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The temperature of the Aluminium plate 44.84⁰C

Explanation:

Number of transistors = 4

Since the heat dissipated by each transistor is 12W

Total heat dissipated, Q = 4 * 12 = 48 W

Q = 48 W

Cross sectional Area of the Aluminium plate, A = 2(l * b)

l = Length of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

b = width of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

A =2( 0.22 * 0.22 )

A = 0.0968 m²

From the heat balance equation, Q = hAΔT

h = 25 W/m²·K

A = 0.0968 m²

ΔT = T - T(air)

T(air) = 25°C

ΔT = T - 25°C

Q = 25 * 0.0968 * (  T - 25)

Q = 2.42 (T - 25)

Substitute Q = 48 into the equation above

48 =  2.42 (T - 25)

T - 25 = 19.84

T = 25 + 19.84

T = 44.84 ⁰C

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar winds occur. Part 2: Give two examples in which solar winds impact Earth.
Troyanec [42]

Part 1

When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released, and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Part 2

1.  Not all the radiation of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly solar flares.

2.  Solar flares contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

Explanation:

Data

mass = 0.5kg

T1 = 35

T2 = ?

Q = - 6.3 x 10⁴ J  = - 63000 J

Cp = 4184 J / kg°C

Formula

                        Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

                         T2 = T1 + Q/mCp    

Substitution

                       T2 = 35 - 63000/(0.5 x 4184)

                        T2 = 35 - 63000/2092

                        T2 = 35 - 30.1

                         T2 = 4.9 °C
