In a nuclear reactor 1 g of mass is converted into energy. How much energy in Joules is produced?

1 answer:

KengaRu [80]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

3 x 10^5 J

Explanation:

mass of substance, m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

According to the Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy associated with the mass is given by

E = m c^2

E = 0.001 x 3 x 10^8

E = 3 x 10^5 J

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=136.8μ m is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a full

inn [45]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Explanation:

Given that:

The refractive index of the film = 19

The wavelength of the light = 136.8 μ m

The thickness can be calculated by using the formula shown below as:

$Thickness=\frac {\lambda}{4\times n}$

Where, n is the refractive index of the film

${\lambda}$ is the wavelength

So, thickness is:

$Thickness=\frac {136.8\ \mu\ m}{4\times 19}$

Thickness = 1.8 μ m

Since,

1 μ m = 10⁻⁸ Hm

So,

Thickness = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$v=10m/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

$F_N+Fg$

where

$F_N =forceof the normal$

$Fg= force due to gravity$

Generally the net force is given to be $FC(force towards center)$

$F_C =F_N + Fg$

$F_N =F_C -Fg$

$F_N=F_C-F_g$

$F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg$

Mathematical we can now derive V

$m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}$

$\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}$

$v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}$

$v=10m/sec$

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be $v=10m/sec$

A fluid in an aquifer is 23.6 m above a reference datum, the fluid pressure (in gage pressure) is 4390 n/m2 and the flow velocit

Phoenix [80]

As per Bernuolli's Theorem total energy per unit mass is given as

$\frac{P}{\rho} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 + gH = E$

now from above equation

$P = 4390 N/m^2$

$\rho = 0.999 * 10^3$

$v = 7.22 * 10^{-4} m/s$

$H = 23.6 m$

now by above equation

$\frac{4390}{0.999*10^3} + \frac{1}{2}*(7.22*10^{-4})^2 + 9.8*23.6 = E$

$E = 235.7 J/kg$

Part B)

Now energy per unit weight

$U = \frac{E}{g}$

$U = \frac{235.7}{9.8}$

$U = 24 m$
