A certain atom has atomic number Z = 25 and atomic mass number A = 52. a. What is the approximate radius of the nucleus of this
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Explanation:

r=r_o\times A^{\frac{1}{3}}

r_o=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m = Constant for all nuclei

r = Radius of the nucleus

A = Number of nucleons

a) Given atomic number of an element = 25

Atomic mass or nucleon number = 52

r=1.25 \times 10^{-15} m\times (52)^{\frac{1}{3}}

r=4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=4.6656 fm

The approximate radius of the nucleus of this atom is 4.656 fermi.

b) F=k\times \frac{q_1q_2}{a^2}

k=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2 = Coulombs constant

q_1,q_2 = charges kept at distance 'a' from each other

F = electrostatic force between charges

q_1=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C

q_2=+1.602\times 10^{-19} C

Force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter

a=2\times r=2\times 4.6656\times 10^{-15} m=9.3312\times 10^{-15} m

F=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\times \frac{(+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)\times (+1.602\times 10^{-19} C)}{(9.3312\times 10^{-15} m)^2}

F=2.6527 N

The electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons on opposite sides of the diameter of the nucleus is 2.6527

Southern state and local elections in 1876 differed from those in previous years in that
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Southern state and local elections in 1876 differed from those in previous years in that the election of 1876 was one of the closest races in American history. It tested the Constitution and resulted in a compromise that ended Reconstruction in America.

The election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden of New York was one of the most hostile, controversial campaigns in American history. The vote was 8-7 along party lines to award the disputed electoral college votes to Hayes, making him the winner.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1876 is known for being the catalyst for the end of Reconstruction era, it was one of the most contentious and controversial presidential elections in American history.

Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes faced Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. After a controversial post-election process, He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel J. Tilden but he won an intensely disputed electoral college vote after a Congressional commission awarded him twenty contested electoral votes Hayes was declared the winner. The Hayes-Tilden Compromise is often seen as the final point that brought an end to Reconstruction, as it led to the removal of the US army from the South.

As Florida's Supreme Court had earlier declared a Democratic victory in the 1876 gubernatorial election, Democrats had been restored to power all across the South. The Compromise of 1876 effectively ended the Reconstruction era.

Southern Democrats' promised to protect civil and political rights of blacks as they were not kept, and to end of federal interference in southern affairs. This led to widespread disenfranchisement of blacks voters. Other factors that contributed to the end of Reconstruction were the Panic of 1873 and political corruption in the United States.

The Compromise of 1877 (the Great Betrayal) was an informal, unwritten deal, that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and formally ended the Reconstruction Era.

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km.A)If you and your spacesuit ha
WITCHER [35]

A) 0.189 N

The weight of the person on the asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on the person, at a location on the surface of the asteroid:

F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

8.7×10^13 kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 130 kg is the mass of the man

R = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the radius of the asteroid

Substituting into the equation, we find

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(130 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}0.189 N=

B) 2.41 m/s

In order to orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (r=R), the centripetal force that keeps the astronaut in orbit must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the astronaut:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{mv^2}{R}

where

v is the speed of the astronaut

Solving the formula for v, we find the minimum speed at which the astronaut should launch himself and then orbit the asteroid just above the surface:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=2.41 m/s
