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

Period T= time of one revolution measured in seconds

ser-zykov [4K]

60 RPM equals one hertz (i.e., one revolution per second, or a period of one second). The SI unit for period is the second.

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its speed at a constant rate of at = - 0.25 m/s^2. Determ

prisoha [69]

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

$\nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})$

= $(30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))$

= 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

y = $200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.

$\rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}$

= $\frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}$

= 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

$a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}$

= $\frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}$

= 0.1822 $m/s^{2}$

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

a = $\sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}$

= $0.309 m/s^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is $0.309 m/s^{2}$ .

"State the process that divides one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei"

kompoz [17]

Answer:

<em>Mitosis</em>

Explanation:

Mitosis: Mitosis is a cell or nuclear division following the duplicate of the chromosomes, whereby each daughter cell or nucleus has exactly the same chromosomes content as the parent. In other words, mitosis is a cell division in which daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis takes place during organism's growth, development, and asexual reproduction. in plants mitosis takes place in the terminal bud of the shoot at the tip of the roots and shoots. In animal mitosis occur at growth centres which are everywhere.

Mitosis produce diploid number, in order word, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of an organism is called the diploid number (2n)

Example of mitosis is the multiplication of the skin covering a child's body during growth
