Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

List the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Lilit [14]
The rays of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, optical rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

EDIT: He has these backwards, the shortest wavelength is created by Gamma-Rays and the longest is Radiowaves.

<span> Remember- high energy = short wavelength. </span>

An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample
zysi [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of an ore sample=17.5 N

Tension in the cord=11.2 N

We have to find the total volume and the density of the sample.

We know that

Tension, T=W-F_b

F_b=buoyancy force

T=Tension force

W=Weight

By using the formula

11.2=17.5-F_b

F_b=17.5-11.2=6.3 N

F_b=V_{object}\times \rho_{water}\cdot g

Where

V_{object}=Volume of object

\rho_{water}=1000 kgm^{-3}=Density of water

g=9.8 ms^{-2}=Acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the values then we get

6.3=9.8\times 1000\times V_{object}

V_{object}=\frac{6.3}{9.8\times 1000}=6.43\times 10^{-4} m^3

Volume of sample=6.43\times 10^{-4} m^3

Density of sample,\rho_{object}=\frac{Mass}{volume_{object}}

Where mass of ore sample=1.79 kg

Substitute the values then, we get

\rho_{object}=\frac{1.79}{6.43\times 10^{-4}}=2.78\times 10^3 kg/m^3

Density of the sample=2.78\times 10^{3} kgm^{-3}

Determine the binding energy of an F-19 nucleus. The F-19 nucleus has a mass of 18.99840325 amu. A proton has a mass of 1.00728
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Energy = 1.38*10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Total number of proton in F-19 = 9

Total number of neutron in F-19 = 10

Expected Mass of F-19  

= 9*1.007 + 10*1.008 = 19.152 u

Actual  mass of F-19 = 18.998 u

Energy of one particle of F-19 = 931.5*Δm = 931.5*(19.152-18.998)

= 143.234 MeV

Energy of one mole of F-19 = 143.234*10^6*1.6*10^-19*6.022*10^23  

= 1.38*10^13 J/mol
