After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that

the pendulum completes 99.0 full swing cycles in a time of 128 s . What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on this planet? Express your answer in meters per second per second.

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²

Explain why nuclear fission and nuclear fusion release large amounts of energy
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Because of the formula E=mc^2

Explanation:

In this problem we are describing two different processes:

  • Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when two (or more) light nuclei fuse together producing a heavier nucleus

In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei.

According to Einsten's formula, this mass difference has been converted into energy, as follows:

E=\Delta mc^2

where:

E is the energy released in the reaction

\Delta m is the mass defect, the difference between the final total mass and the initial total mass

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

From the formula, we see that the factor c^2 is a very large number, therefore even if the mass defect \Delta m is very small, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission release huge amounts of energy.
