A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.

If riding a lawnmower engine exerts 19 hp in one minute to move the lawnmower how much work is done

ioda

Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

$Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J$

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

If a nucleus was as big as a nonpareil, an atom would be ____

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

small marble

Explanation:

A nonpareil are confectionery tiny ball items that are made up of starch and sugar. It is very small of the size of sugar crystal or sand grains. They were the miniature version of the comfits. They are generally opaque white but bow available in all colors.

In the context, if the nucleus is compared to the size of a nonpareil then its atom would be of the size of small size marble. An atom is bigger in size than that of nucleus as the nucleus is located inside the atoms.

The half-life of plutonium 239 is 24,200 years. Assume that the decay rate is proportional to the amount. Determine the amount o

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

time taken is equal to 14,156 years

Explanation:

we know,

$Y=Ae^{-kt}$

at t = 0

Y(0) = A

given that half life of plutonium 239 = 24,200

$\dfrac{A}{2}=Ae^{-kt}\\0.5=e^{-kt}\\k\times 24200 = ln(2)\\k = \dfrac{ ln(2)}{24200}$

$Y=Ae^{-kt}$

$\frac{3}{2} = e^{-kt}\\ln(1.5)=-\dfrac{ ln(2)}{24200}\times t\\t=-\dfrac{ln(1.5)\times 24200}{ ln(2)}\\t=14,156 \ years$

hence time taken is equal to 14,156 years
