Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co. Consider only the energy of the nuclei (ignore the energy

of the surrounding electrons). The following masses are given:
5727Co: 56.936296u
5726Fe: 56.935399u
Express your answer in millions of electron volts (1u=931.5MeV/c2) to three significant figures.
A negligible amount of this energy goes to the resulting 5726Fe atom as kinetic energy. About 90 percent of the time, after the electron-capture process, the 5726Fe nucleus emits two successive gamma-ray photons of energies 0.140MeV and 1.70 102MeV in decaying to its ground state. The electron-capture process itself emits a massless neutrino, which also carries off kinetic energy. What is the energy of the neutrino emitted in this case?
Express your answer in millions of electron volts.

Answer:

Explanation:

⁵⁷Co₂₇  + e⁻¹  =  ²⁷Fe₂₆

mass defect = 56.936296 + .00055 - 56.935399

= .001447 u

equivalent energy

= 931.5 x .001447 MeV

= 1.3479 MeV .

= 1.35 MeV

energy of gamma ray photons = .14  + .017

= .157 MeV .

Rest of the energy goes to neutrino .

energy going to neutrino .

= 1.35 - .157

= 1.193 MeV.

1. If you add air to a flat tire through a single small entry hole, why does the air spread out to fill the tire?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The tire fills up just like anything else that holds air when u pump a ball or tire up it fills all the way up cause it is a small confined space and after filling it with air the atoms of the air fill the tire up

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. What can you do to fix this?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. to fix this problem we need to calibrate the printer.

Explanation:

This can be done by opening the toolbox, clicking in the device setting folder their you get print quality page click on it. Under the print quality option click on the calibrate next to calibrate now. Then click OK unless when the 'your request has been sent to the device' appears on the screen. When the calibration ends again try printing. calibrating is useful for managing the proper alignment of the inkjet cartridge nozzle to the paper and each other, without proper calibration the print quality deteriorates.

What will happen to a negatively charged particle placed at rest between points that have electric potentials 0V and 9V? Explain
finlep [7]

Hey there!

a) The electric field is in direction of decreasing value of potential so the electric field here will points towards 0v from 9 v. But the charge on particle is negative so the force will be towards the 9v point. and so the charge will move towards the 9 V point.

b) Electric potential is a location-dependent quantity that expresses the amount of potential energy per unit of charge at a specified location while.the electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential (V) between the final and the initial location when work is done upon a charge to change its potential energy. Electric potential is always a relative quantity because no one can find out absolute potential at a point, so in reality only potential difference exists. We can assume potential at certain point (say at infinity it is zero) only then we are able to define potential at every point.

c) The knowlendge of electric potential helps us in finding the work done on the particle which is used in work energy theorem to find out the chanrge in kinetic energy and other stuff.

Hope this helps!
