Answer:

0.79 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we analyze the vertical motion of the ball. It is a free fall motion, so its vertical displacement is given by

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s = 1.95 m is the displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the time it takes for the ball to reach the ground:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.95)}{9.8}}=0.63 s

Now we can analyze the horizontal motion: this is a uniform motion with constant speed, so the horizontal distance covered by the ball is

d=v_x t

where

d = 0.5 m is the horizontal distance covered

t = 0.63 s is the time

Solving for vx, we find the horizontal velocity of the ball:

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.63}=0.79 m/s

And this velocity is constant during the motion, so the ball was moving at 0.79 m/s when it rolls off the table.

What is the energy released in this B- nuclear reaction 2K-> 2Ca0,e? (The atomic mass of 42 K is 41.962403 u and that of 42Ca
Katyanochek1 [597]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 3.526 MeV.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given nuclear reaction:

_{19}^{42}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{42}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}

We are given:

Mass of _{19}^{42}\textrm{K} = 41.962403 u

Mass of _{20}^{42}\textrm{Ca} = 41.958618 u

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

\Delta m=\text{Mass of reactants}-\text{Mass of products}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=(41.962403-41.958618)=0.003785u

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

E=\Delta mc^2\\E=(0.003785u)\times c^2

E=(0.003785u)\times (931.5MeV) (Conversion factor: 1u=931.5MeV/c^2 )

E=3.526MeV

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 3.526 MeV.
