Thermal energy is __________.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.

What is the binding energy of a nucleus that has a mass defect of 5.81*10-^29 kg

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Choice A: Approximately $5.23 \times 10^{-29}$ joules.

Explanation:

Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the $\rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}$ kilograms of mass.

$E = m \cdot c^{2}$ ,

where

$E$ stands for energy,
$m$ stands for mass, and
$c$ is the speed of light in vacuum.

The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of $c$ ?

The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:

Mass is in kilograms.

Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light, $c \approx \rm 3.00\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Apply the mass-energy equivalence:

$\begin{aligned} E &= m \cdot c^{2} \\ &= \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}\; kg \times {\left(3.00\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\ &\approx \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\;kg\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)

$\rm 1\; J = 1\; N \times 1\; m$ .

However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1\; J &= \rm 1\; N \times 1\; m\\ & = \rm \left(1\; kg\times 1\; m\cdot s^{-2}\right)\times 1\; m\\ &= \rm 1\; kg \cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .
