The mass of the parts is always ___ the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses.

1 answer:

6 0

When looking at nuclear masses we speak of the processes nuclear fision and nuclear fusion. In fission a nucleus breaks up, into two nuclei. In fusion on the other hand two light nuclei combine to form one heavier nucleus. The relation
E=m*c^2. explains the difference in masses. 
So, in case of nuclear fusion the mass of the parts is always more than the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses. In case of nuclear fusion. And in case of nuclear fision, the mass of the parts is always less than the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses. In case of nuclear fusion

What are the units of acceleration?

Marina86 [1]

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .

A motorist is driving at 20m/s when she sees that a traffic light 200m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stay

yuradex [85]

Answer:

5.71428571422 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s

Distance traveled in 1 second = $20\times 1=20\ m$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 200-20=20\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 14^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2(180-20\times14)}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02040816327\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=20-1.02040816327\times 14\\\Rightarrow v=5.71428571422\ m/s$

The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s
