Answer:increasing any of them, either mass or speed by 1unit will cause an increase in energy,
Explanation:
By increasing any of them, either mass or speed will cause an increase in energy.
Because kinetic energy is proportional to mass and also directly proportional to velocity
Answer:
4.981 MeV
Explanation:
The quantity of energy Q can be calculated using the formula
Q = (mass before - mass after) × c²
Atomic Mass of thorium = 232.038054 u, atomic of Radium = 228.0301069 u and mass of Helium = 4.00260. The difference of atomic number and atomic mass between the thorium and radium ( 232 - 228) and ( 90 - 88) show α particle was emitted.
1 u = 931.494 Mev/c²
Q = (mass before - mass after) × c²
Q = ( mass of thorium - ( mass of Radium + mass of Helium ) )× c²
Q = 232.038054 u - ( 228.0301069 + 4.00260) × c²
Q = 0.0053471 u × c²
replace 1 u = 931.494 MeV/ c²
Q = 0.0053471 × c² × (931.494 MeV / c²)
cancel c² from the equation
Q = 0.0053471 × 931.494 MeV = 4.981 MeV
Energy in a spring:
E = 0.5 * k * x²
k spring constant = 800 n/m
x stretch of the spring = 5 cm = 0.05 m
E = 0.5 * 800 * 0.05² = 1
