A rough estimate of the radius of a nucleus is provided by the formula r 5 kA1/3, where k is approximately 1.3 × 10213 cm and A

is the mass number of the nucleus. Estimate the den- sity of the nucleus of 127I (which has a nuclear mass of 2.1 × 10222 g) in grams per cubic centimeter. Compare with the density of solid iodine, 4.93 g cm23.

Answer:

Density of 127 I = \rm 1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3.

Also, \rm Density\ of\ ^{127}I=3.63\times 10^{13}\times Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine.

Explanation:

Given, the radius of a nucleus is given as

\rm r=kA^{1/3}.

where,

  • \rm k = 1.3\times 10^{-13} cm.
  • A is the mass number of the nucleus.

The density of the nucleus is defined as the mass of the nucleus M per unit volume V.

\rm \rho = \dfrac{M}{V}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi r^3}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi (kA^{1/3})^3}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi k^3A}.

For the nucleus 127 I,

Mass, M = \rm 2.1\times 10^{-22}\ g.

Mass number, A = 127.

Therefore, the density of the 127 I nucleus is given by

\rm \rho = \dfrac{2.1\times 10^{-22}\ g}{\dfrac 43 \times \pi \times (1.3\times 10^{-13})^3\times 127}=1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3.

On comparing with the density of the solid iodine,

\rm \dfrac{Density\ of\ ^{127}I}{Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine}=\dfrac{1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3}{4.93\ g/cm^3}=3.63\times 10^{13}.\\\\\Rightarrow Density\ of\ ^{127}I=3.63\times 10^{13}\times Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine.

If a negatively charged rod is held near a neutral metal ball, the ball is attracted to the rod. This happens:_______
qaws [65]

Answer:

<em>c. because the rod polarizes the metal.</em>

Explanation:

Bringing the negatively charged rod close to the neutral metal ball causes the neutral metal ball to be polarized with induced positive charge on it. The polarizing of the formally neutral metal ball is due to the negative charge on the metal rod (bodies induce a charge opposite of their own charge on a nearby neutral body). The ball and rod then attract themselves because bodies with opposite charges attract each other, unlike bodies with same charges that repel each other.

a tennis ball is hit upward with a tennis racket an initial velocity of 12 m/s. What will the ball's speed be when it returns to
zaharov [31]

Answer: 12 m/s

Explanation:

If we ignore air resistance, gravity alone will reduce the upward velocity to zero at the top of the flight. As gravity is a conservative force, it will return exactly the same amount of energy to the tennis ball when it returns to the original elevation.

Which best describes the weak nuclear force? It is weaker than the gravitational force, with a greater range than the weak nucle
labwork [276]

Weak nuclear force is weaker than the strong nuclear force with a smaller range than the electromagnetic force.

It acts between fermions with spin 1/2 basically quarks and leptons. It has a range of 10⁻¹⁸ meters.

Option 1 is incorrect. It is stronger than the gravitational force.

Option 2 is incorrect. It is weaker than the electromagnetic force.

Option 3 is incorrect. It has a smaller range than the strong nuclear force.
