Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b) 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

Explanation:

a)

p(r) = -A exp ( - 2r/a₀)

Q = ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2xπ p(r)dV  =  -A  ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π   exp ( - 2r/a₀)r² sinθdrdθd∅

Q = -4πA ₀∫^∞ exp ( - 2r/a₀)r²dr = -e

now using integration by parts;

A = e / πa₀³

p(r) =  - (e / πa₀³) exp (-2r/a₀)

Now Net charge inside a sphere of radius a₀ i.e Qnet is;

= e - (e / πa₀³)  ₀∫^a₀ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π  r² exp (-2r/a₀)dr

= e - e + 5e exp (-2) = 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b)

Using Gauss's law,

E × 4πa₀ ² = Qnet / ∈₀

E = 4πa₀ ² × Qnet × 1/a₀²

E = 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

Un satélite geoestacionario se encuentra a una distancia de 120.000 km sobre la superficie de Júpiter. Determine: a. El periodo
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet,

b) f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c)                           d)   w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

Explanation:

a) The definition of a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet, that is, its period of revolutions is the same as the period of the planet

  •                T = 10 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.6 104 s

b) the period the frequency are related

                T = 1 / f

                 f = 1 / T

                 f = 1 / 3.6 104

                 f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c) the distance traveled by the satellite in 1 day

The distance traveled is equal to the length of the circumference

                 d = 2pi (R + r)

                 d = 2pi (69 911 103 + 120 106)

                 d = 1193.24 m

d) the angular velocity is the angle traveled between the time used.

                 .w = 2pi /t

                  w = 2pi / 3.6 10⁴

                  w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

how fast is

                  v = w r

                  v = 1.75 10-4 (69.911 106 + 120 106)

                  v = 190017 m / s

"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg
