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.

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

Explanation:

The thermal expansion of materials is described by the expression

          ΔL = α Lo ΔT

          α = \frac{\Delta L}{L_o \ \Delta T}

in the case of the bar the expansion is

         ΔL = L_f - L₀

         ΔL=   1.002 -1

         ΔL = 0.002 m

the temperature variation is

         ΔT = 100 - 30

         ΔT = 70º C

we calculate

         α = 0.002 / 1 70

         α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

Skater 1 has a mass of 105.0 kg and a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the left. He
mart [117]

The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

  • m = mass of the first skater
  • M = mass of the second skater
  • u = initial velocity of the first skater
  • U = initial velocity of the second skater
  • v = final velocity of the first skater
  • V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

  • v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 105 kg
  • u = -2 m/s
  • M = 71 kg
  • U = 5 m/s
  • V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
  • v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
  • v = 386.4/105
  • v = 3.68 m/s
  • v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.
