<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>

One form of energy can be _____ another type of energy.
kotegsom [21]

We can answer this one very quickly.  From the <em>Law of Conservation of Energy</em>, we know that "Energy can't be created or destroyed.".

So that only leaves us one way to complete the sentence in this question:

"One form of energy can be <em>transformed into</em> another type of energy. "  <em>(B)</em>

What did Thomson contribute to the model of atom
Ganezh [65]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Electrons </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Thomson contributed to the model of an atom by discovery of </u></em><em><u>electrons </u></em><em><u>and thus proving the existence of sub-atomic particles in an atom. </u></em>
  • <u><em>Thomson used cathode ray tube, and demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged.</em></u> According to his model normally known as the plum pudding in which he stated that an atom is composed of electrons as subatomic particles that are surrounded by positive charges to balance the electrons.

What constant acceleration, in SI units, must a car have to go from zero to 60 mph in 10 s? How far has the car traveled when it
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s

time t = 10 s

Let a be the acceleration and s be he distance traveled.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

26.8 = 0 +  a x 10

a = 2.68 m/s

Use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s = 0 + 0.5 x 2.68 x 10 x 10

s = 134 m

As, 1 m = 3.28 ft

So, s = 134 x 3.28 ft

s = 439.6 ft

ECONOMICS !!!!
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is the capability of a commercial entity to produce goods using fewer resources compared to rivals. Using the same inputs, an entity with an absolute advantage produces a larger output compared to competitors. It means the firm has a lower marginal cost of production. Therefore, its products will have the lowest prices in the market.
