Answer:

0.002372187708 kg

Explanation:

Each atom of Uranium 235 releases 200 MeV = 200×10⁶×1.60218×10⁻¹⁹

= 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³ Joule

Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = (2.6/0.235)×6.02214076×10²³

⇒Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = 66.627×10²³ atoms

Change in energy = Change in mass / (speed of light)²

ΔE = Δmc²

⇒200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³ = Δm×(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³/(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 2372.187708×10⁻⁶ kg

∴Change in mass = 0.002372187708 kg

What is 34 + (5) × (1.2465) written with the correct number of significant figures?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 40

Explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.

What is the magnitude of the change in potential energy of the block-spring system when it travels from its lowest vertical posi
maksim [4K]

Answer:

 ΔU = 2 mg h

Explanation:

In a spring mass system the potential energy is U = m g h

where h is measured from the equilibrium point of the spring

the potential energy at the highest point is

         U₁ = m g h

the potential energy at the lowest point is

         U₂ = m g (-h)

instead in this energy it is

          ΔU = 2 mg h

In this two points the kinetic energy is zero, but there is elastic potential energy that has the same value in the two points, so its change is zero
