The answer is C)the rating that the golfers give Callaway clubs
There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.
Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
Answer: P= W/t so P=50/20 =2.5 W
<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>
