Answer:

1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

Explanation:

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 135.905 amu

¹³⁶Ba contain 56 proton and 80 neutron

mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

mass of neutron = 1.00867 amu

mass of ¹³⁶Ba = 56 x  1.00728 amu + 80 x 1.00867 amu

                      = 137.10128 amu

mass defect = 137.10128 - 135.905

                    = 1.19628 amu

mass defect = 1.19628 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

                     = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

binding energy,

E = mass defect x c²

E = 1.9858 x 10⁻²⁷ x (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 17.87 x 10⁻¹¹ J/atom

now,

binding energy per nucleon =\dfrac{17.87\times 10^{-11}}{136}

                                              = 0.1312 x 10⁻¹¹ J/nucleon

                                              = 1.312 x 10⁻¹² J/nucleon

Comparing X-ray to radio wave, which has a shorter wavelength?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

x-ray

Explanation:

X-rays can penetrate through matter because of their high frequencies while radio waves are not able to do so as much. If you think about it, taking an x-ray requires a lot more energy than for radio waves to allow you to listen to songs on the radio. Hope this helps :)

3. Sailors use a capstan (shown below) to raise and lower the anchor. It takes two sailors located 1 meter from the center to tu
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. 2 meters.

Explanation:

To rotate the capstan a certain amount of torque is required, and if each sailor applies a force F at a distance D from the center, then for two sailors the total torque will be

\tau = 2FD\\;

therefore,  for one sailor to apply the same torque it must be that the torque \tau_2 he applies must be equal to the torque that the two sailors applied:

FD_2 =2FD

which gives

D_2 = 2D.

and since D = 1\:meter,

\boxed{D_2 = 2\: meters}

which is choice B.

A horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.945 rad/s. You, with a mass of 69.7 kg,
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

317.22

Explanation:

Given

Circular platform rotates ccw 93.1kg, radius 1.93 m, 0.945 rad/s

You 69.7kg, cw 1.01m/s, at r

Poodle 20.2 kg, cw 1.01/2 m/s, at r/2

Mutt 17.7 kg, 3r/4

You

Relative

ω = v/r

= 1.01/1.93

= 0.522

Actual

ω = 0.945 - 0.522

= 0.42

I = mr^2

= 69.7*1.93^2

= 259.6

L = Iω

= 259.6*0.42

= 109.4

Poodle

Relative

ω = (1.01/2)/(1.93/2)

= 0.5233

Actual

ω = 0.945- 0.5233

= 0.4217

I = m(r/2)^2

= 20.2*(1.93/2)^2

= 18.81

L = Iω

= 18.81*0.4217

= 7.93

Mutt

Actual

ω = 0.945

I = m(3r/4)^2

= 17.7(3*1.93/4)^2

= 37.08

L = Iω

= 37.08*0.945

= 35.04

Disk

I = mr^2/2

= 93.1(1.93)^2/2

= 173.39

L = Iω

= 173.39*0.945

= 163.85

Total

L = 109.4+ 7.93+ 36.04+ 163.85

= 317.22 kg m^2/s
