It is called surface tension it is the elastic personality of some liquids as they pull together to take up as little surface area as possible. the water molecules would rather stay together than be pulled apart<span />
An increase in a sound's pitch corresponds to an increase in the frequency!
<span>Depends on the precision you're working to.
proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu
neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu
electron mass ~ electron mass = 0.000549 amu
Binding mass is:
mass of constituents - mass of atom
Eg for nitrogen:
(7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549)
-14.003074 = 0.11235amu
Binding energy is:
E=mc^2 where c is the speed of light. Nuclear physics is usually done in MeV[1] where 1 amu is about 931.5MeV/c^2. So:
0.11235 * 931.5 = 104.6MeV
Binding energy per nucleon is total energy divided by number of nucleons. 104.6/14 = 7.47MeV
This is probably about right; it sounds like the right size!
Do the same thing for D/E/F and recheck using your numbers & you shouldn't go far wrong :)
1 - have you done this? MeV is Mega electron Volts, where one electronVolt (or eV) is the change in potential energy by moving one electron up a 1 volt potential. ie energy = charge * potential, so 1eV is about 1.6x10^-19J (the same number as the charge of an electron but in Joules).
It's a measure of energy, but by E=mc^2 you can swap between energy and mass using the c^2 factor. Most nuclear physicists report mass in units of MeV/c^2 - so you know that its rest mass energy is that number in MeV.</span>
