Answer:3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

What is the decrease in mass, delta mass Xe , of the xenon nucleus as a result of this deca

We have been given the wavelength of the gamma ray, find the frequency using c = freq*wavelength.

C=f*lambda

3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12

F=0.87*10^20 hz

Then with the frequency, find the energy emitted using equation

E=hf E = freq*Plank's constant

E=.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34

E=575.94*10^(-16)

With this energy, convert into MeV from joules.

With the energy in MeV, use E=mc^2 using c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u.

Plugging and computing all necessary numbers gives you

3.87*10^-4 u.

1. Apply a constant force of 50 N directed to the right of the 50 kg Box. (2 pts)
kotegsom [21]

As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.

Then   friction force = 80 Newtons              but in the opposite direction.

Friction force =  Mu  * Normal force exerted by ground  =  Mu * weight of box

So we find Mu.

Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface

          = Force of friction / weight  =  80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163

When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is

      = Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons

A 7 kg ball is moving at a constant speed of 5 m/s. A force of 300 N is applied to the ball for 4 s. The new speed of the ball i
olasank [31]

Answer:

The new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 7 kg

initial speed of the ball, u = 5 m/s

applied force, F = 300 N

time of force action on the ball, t = 4 s

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma = \frac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\m(v-u) = Ft\\\\v-u = \frac{Ft}{m}\\\\v =  \frac{Ft}{m} + u

where;

v is new speed of the ball

v =  \frac{Ft}{m} + u\\\\v =\frac{300*4}{7} + 5\\\\v = 176.43 \ m/s

Therefore, the new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring with spring constant k. In experiment 1 the mass oscillates with amplitude a, a
Trava [24]

Time period remains the same in both the experiment as change in amplitude does not affect time period.

What are the factors on which time period depends in SHM?

Time period is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

where,

T = time period

m = mass

k = spring constant

In a straightforward harmonic motion, we see from the preceding formula that the time period depends only on the object's mass and spring constant (SHM). The time period will adjust to any variations in the object's mass or the spring constant.

What is Spring Constant?

A spring's "spring constant" is a property that quantifies the relationship between the force acting on the spring and the displacement it produces. In other words, it characterises a spring's stiffness and the extent of its range of motion.
