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.

The mass of a truck with its cargo is 1800 kg. The truck is coasting to the right with a speed of 10 m/s. As it coasts its cargo
OverLord2011 [107]

Here we apply conservation of linear momentum. The momentum of the truck with cargo and without cargo remains constant. That is,

mv=m'v'.

Here m,v are initial mass and velocity. m',v' are final mass and velocity. Here m=1800,v=10 and m'=1800-300=1500.

The velocity of the truck be after its cargo is taken off is

v'=\frac{mv}{m'} \\  v'=\frac{1800*10}{1500} \\  v'=12 m/s

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

A green truck is moving to the right. A red truck is moving to the left with a speed of 6 m/s. The mass of the red truck is 1,00
Contact [7]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of red truck = 1000 kg

m_2 = Mass of green truck= 3000 kg

u_1 = Initial Velocity of red truck = 6 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of green truck

v = Velocity with which they move together = 0

For elastic collision

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{1000\times 6}{3000}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-2\ m/s

Velocity of the green truck is 2 m/s
