Answer:

Mass defect of each iron-56 nuclei:

The binding energy per nucleon of Iron-56 is approximately 8.6 MeV.

Explanation:

According to the physics constants table on Chemistry Libretexts:

  • Proton rest mass: \rm 1.0072765\;amu;
  • Neutron rest mass: \rm 1.0086649\; amu.
  • Speed of light in vacuum: \rm 2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}.
  • Charge on an electron: \rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C.

<h3>a)</h3>

The mass defect of a nucleus is equal to the sum of the mass of its parts (protons and, in most cases, neutrons) minus the mass of the nucleus.

The atomic number of iron is 26. There are 26 protons in each iron-56 nucleus. The mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons (neutrons and protons) in each iron-56 nucleus. The other 56 - 26 = 30 particles are neutrons.

The mass of protons and neutrons in each iron-56 nucleus will be:

\rm 26 \times 1.0072765 + 30 \times 1.0086649 = 56.464736\;amu.

According to this question, the mass of an iron-56 nucleus is equal to 55.934939 amu. The mass defect will be

\rm 56.464736 - 55.934939 = 0.514197\;amu.

<h3>b)</h3>

By the mass-energy equivalence,

E = m\cdot c^{2}.

Refer to this equation, the speed of light in vacuum c^{2} is the conversion factor between mass m and energy E. The value of c is usually given only in SI units \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. Accordingly, the value of c^{2} will be in the SI unit \rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}.

Convert million electron-volts to joules.

One electron-volt is equal to the electrical work done moving an electron across a potential difference of one volt.  

\begin{aligned}\rm 1 MeV&= \rm 10^{6}\; eV\\ &= \rm (10^{6}\times 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C)\times 1\; V\\&=\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;J\end{aligned}.

Convert the unit of c^{2} from \rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1} to the desired \rm MeV \cdot amu^{-1}:

\begin{aligned}c^{2} &= \rm {\left(2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\&=\rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\\ &= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\\&= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\times \frac{1\;MeV}{1.6021765\times 10^{-13}\;J}\times \frac{1\times 10^{-3}\;kg}{6.022142\times 10^{23}\;amu}\\&\approx \rm 931.602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Total binding energy in each iron-56 nucleus:

\begin{aligned}E &= m\cdot c^{2}\\&= \rm 0.514197\;amu \times 9.31602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1} \\&=\rm 479.027038\; MeV \end{aligned}.

Again, the mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons in each iron-56 nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon of iron-56 \mathrm{^{56}Fe} will be:

\displaystyle \rm \frac{479.027038\; MeV}{56} \approx 8.6\; MeV.

The speed of the center of the earth as it orbits the sun is 107257 kmph and the absolute angular velocity of the earth about it
Sindrei [870]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Speed ,v_0=107257 kmph

Angular velocity,\omega=7.292\times 10^{-5} rad/s

Radius of earth,r=6371 km=6371000 m

1 km=1000 m

Linear velocity,v=r\omega=6371000\times 7.292\times 10^{-5}=464.57 m/s

Linear velocity,v=464.57\times \frac{18}{5}=1672.46 km/h

Velocity at point A,v_A=-vi+v_0 j=-1672.46 i+107257j kmph

Velocity at point B,v_B=v_0j-vj=107257j-1672.46j=105584.54j kmph

Velocity at point C,v_C=v_0j+vi=1672.46 i+107257j kmph

Velocity at point  D,v_D=v_0j+vj=107257j+1672.46j=108929.46jkmph

A resistor has four colored stripes in the following order: orange, orange, brown and silver. What is the resistance of the resi
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Resistance =330 Ω

Tolerance = 33 Ω

Explanation:

see attached resistor color code table

The first stripe is orange, which means the leftmost digit is a 3.

The second stripe is orange , which means the next digit is a 3.

The third stripe is brown.  Since brown is 1, it means add one zero to the right of the first two digits.

The resistance is:

orange-orange-brown=  330 Ω

The tolerance is:

The fourth color band indicates the resistor's tolerance.  Tolerance is the percentage of error in the resistor's resistance.

silver is 10%

A 330 Ω resistor has a silver tolerance band.  

<em>Tolerance = value of resistor x value of tolerance band </em>

= 330 Ω x 10% = 33 Ω

330 Ω stated resistance +/- 33 Ω tolerance means that the resistor could range in actual value from as much as 363 Ω to as little as 297 Ω.

A 90kg person jumps from a 30m tower into a tub of water with a volume of 5m3 initially at 20°C. Assuming that all of the work d
Kryger [21]

Answer:

T₂ = 20.06 ° C

Explanation:

Given

P = 90 kg,  T₁ = 20 ° C,  h = 30 m,  c = 1.82 kJ / Kg * ° C

Using the formula to determine the final temperature of the water

T₂ = T₁ * P * h / Eₐ * c

The work done of the person to the water

Eₐ = 1000 kg / m³ * 5 m³ * 9.8 m / s²

Eₐ = 49000 N

T₂ = 20 ° C +[ (90 kg * 30m) / (49000 N * 1.82) ]

T₂ = 20.06 ° C

How to calculate the slope of position time graph?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the increment in the y-variable

\Delta x is the increment in the x-variable

We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:

\Delta y corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, \Delta s

\Delta x corresponds to the change in time \Delta t, so the time interval

Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which corresponds to the definition of velocity.
