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

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

$\Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}$

$\Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}$

Hence, $W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)$

= 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

m = $\frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}$

= 1.031 lbm

Hence,

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R$

$W_{in}$ = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i

inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N
