Answer:

   F = 1494.52 N,   θ = 44º

Explanation:

For the sum of vectors by the parallelogram method, see attached, the vectors are drawn, the parallelogram is completed and a vector is drawn from the origin of the two vectors to the end point of the rectangle, this is the resulting vector.

The attachment shows this roughly.

For the Cartesian coordinate method, each vector is decomposed into its components, they are added algebraically and then the resulting vector is composed in the form of a module and angles

we use trigonometry to decompose the vectors.

The coordinate system can be seen in the attachment

           sin θ = y / R

           cos θ = x / R

            y = R sin θ

            x = R cos θ

Vector 1

module F₁ and angle β₁ = 50

            sin 50 = \frac{F_{1y} }{F_1}

            cos 50 = \frac{F_{1x} }{F_1}

            F_{1y} = F₁ sin 50

            F₁ₓ = F₁ cos 50

            F_{1y} = 600 sin 50 = 459.63 N

            F₁ₓ = 600 cos 50 = 385.67 N

Vector 2

modulus F₂ = 900N, angle β₂ = 40

            F_{2y} = 900 sin 40 = 578.51 N

            F₂ₓ = 900 cos 40 = 689.44 N

we find the resultant of each component

           F_{y} =F_{1y} + F_{2y}

           F_{y}  = 459.63 + 578.51

           F_{y}  = 1038.14 N

 

            Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ

            Fₓ = 385.67 + 689.44

             Fₓ = 1075.11 N

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus of the resultant

            F = Fₓ² + F_{y}^2

            F = √(1075.11² + 1038.14²)

            F = 1494.52 N

we use trigonometry for the angle

            tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

            θ = tan⁻¹ (F_y / Fₓ)

            θ = tan⁻¹ (1038.14 / 1075.11)

            θ = 44º

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh
alekssr [168]

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

F=k\Delta x (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

\Delta x is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

- The stretching of the spring is

\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N

And so, the stretch of the spring is

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

x_0 = 10 cm

The final length will be

x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm

Write the nuclear reaction equation for the beta decay of Iodine-131
den301095 [7]

Answer:

_{53}^{131}I \rightarrow _{54}^{131}Xe + e + \bar{\nu}

Explanation:

In a beta (minus) decay, a neutron in a nucleus turns into a proton, emitting a fast-moving electron (called beta particle) alongside with an antineutrino.

The general equation for a beta decay is:

^A_Z X \rightarrow _{Z+1}^AY+^0_{-1}e+ ^0_0\bar{\nu} (1)

where

X is the original nucleus

Y is the daughter nucleus

e is the electron

\bar{\nu} is the antineutrino

We observe that:

  • The mass number (A), which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, remains the same in the decay
  • The atomic number (Z), which is the number of protons in the nucleus, increases by 1 unit

In this problem, the original nucles that we are considering is iodine-131, which is

_{53}^{131}I

where

Z = 53 (atomic number of iodine)

A = 131 (mass number)

Using the rule for the general equation (1), the dauther nucleus must have same mass number (131) and atomic number increased by 1 (54, which corresponds to Xenon, Xe), therefore the equation will be:

_{53}^{131}I \rightarrow _{54}^{131}Xe + e + \bar{\nu}

8. Contrast. The energy that can be released during a nuclear fission reaction with the energy that can be released during a nuc
Cloud [144]
8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission.  Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together.  It's really the nucleus of a helium atom.  It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons.  They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light)  They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue.  They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c².  This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared.  c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it.  Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests)  The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms.  When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion).  High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma.  This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse.  Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
