Answer:

299.4 MeV

Explanation:

For 40 Ar

Number of neutrons = 22

Number of protons= 18

Mass of each proton = 1.007277 amu

Mass of each neutron= 1.008665 amu

Total mass of protons= 18 × 1.007277 amu = 18.130986 amu

Total mass of neutrons = 22 × 1.008665 amu = 22.19063 amu

Total mass of protons and neutrons= 18.130986 + 22.19063 = 40.321616 amu

Mass defect = 40.321616 amu - 40 amu

Mass defect = 0.321616 amu

Since 931 is the conversion factor from amu to MeV

Binding energy = 0.321616 amu × 931 = 299.4 MeV

Binding energy = 299.4 MeV

What is the smallest thing in universe ?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physicists have found the latter- that matter is made of fundamental particles, the smallest things in the universe. Particles interact with each other according to a theory called the “Standard Model”. ... The electron is, as far as we know, one of the fundamental, indivisible building blocks of the universe

A jet aircraft is traveling at 260 m/s in horizontal flight. The engine takes in air at a rate of 53.3 kg/s and burns fuel at a

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The thrust of the jet engine is 4188.81 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 260 m/s

Rate in air= 53.3 kg/s

Rate of fuel = 3.63 kg/s

Relative speed = 317 m/s

We need to calculate the rate of mass change in the rocket

Using formula of rate of mass

$\dfrac{dM}{dt}=\dfrac{dM_{a}}{dt}+\dfrac{dM_{f}}{dt}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{dM}{dt}=53.3+3.63$

$\dfrac{dM}{dt}=56.93\ kg/s$

We need to calculate the thrust of the jet engine

Using formula of thrust

$T=\dfrac{dM}{dt}u-\dfrac{dM_{a}}{dt}v$

Put the value into the formula

$T=56.93\times317-53.3\times260$

$T=4188.81\ N$

Hence, The thrust of the jet engine is 4188.81 N.

student built a simple heat engine that could lift masses. If the heat engine takes in 300 J of heat and loses 50 J to the envir

k0ka [10]

Answer:

So it will lift the mass by h = 17 m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that

$Q_1 = W + Q_2$

here we know that

$Q_1 = 300 J$

$Q_2 = 50 J$

now we have

$W = 300 - 50$

$W = 250 J$

so work done by the engine is 250 J

now we have

$W = mgh$

$250 = 1.5 \times 9.81 \times h$

$h = 17 m$

What is the volume of a marble with a diameter of 3.0

RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

You can solve for volume using radius or diameter.

Sphere Volume = 4/3 • π • r³ = ( π •d³)/6

We're given the diameter so let's use that.

Volume = PI * d^3 / 6

Volume = 3.14159 * 3.0^3 / 6

Volume = 3.14159 * 9 / 2

Volume = 14.137 cubic centimeters

A girl on a spinning amusements park is 12m from the center of the ride and has a centripetal acceleration of 17 m/s^2. What is

Tanya [424]

Answer: 14.28 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the girl is spinning with <u>uniform circular motion</u>, her centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where:

$a_{c}=17 m/s^{2}$ is the <u>centripetal acceleration</u>

$V$ is the<u> tangential speed</u>

$r=12 m$ is the <u>radius</u> of the circle

Isolating $V$ from (1):

$V=\sqrt{a_{c}r}$ (2)

$V=\sqrt{(17 m/s^{2})(12 m)}$

<u />

Finally:

$V=14.28 m/s$ This is the girl's tangential speed
