What causes tides on earth

1 answer:

7 0

Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth (Sumich, J.L., 1996). Tidal forces are based on the gravitational attractive force.

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

A 5 cm spring is suspended with a mass of 3.8589 g attached to it which extends the spring by 1.5747 cm. The same spring is plac

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

charges of the beads is 1.173 × $10^{-15}$ C

Explanation:

given data

mass = 3.8589 g = 0.003859 kg

spring length = 5 cm = 0.05 m

extend spring x = 1.5747 cm = 0.15747 m

spring's extension = 0.0116 m

to find out

charges of the beads

solution

we know that force is

force = mass × g

force = 0.003859 × 9.8

force = 0.03782 N

so we know force for mass

force = -kx

so k = force / x

put here force and x value

k = -0.03782 / 0.1575

k = -0.24 N/m

and

force for spring's extension

force = -kx

force = -0.24 ( 0.0116) = 0.002784 N

so here

total length L = 0.05 + 0.0116 = 0.0616

so charges of the beads = force × L² / ke

charges of the beads = 0.002784 × (0.0616)² / (9 × $10^{9}$ )

so charges of the beads = 1.173 × $10^{-15}$ C

Given the isotope 2Fes, which has an actual mass of 55.934939 u: a) b) Determine the mass defect of the nucleus in atomic mass u

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Mass defect of each iron-56 nuclei:

The binding energy per nucleon of Iron-56 is approximately 8.6 MeV.

Explanation:

According to the physics constants table on Chemistry Libretexts:

Proton rest mass: $\rm 1.0072765\;amu$ ;
Neutron rest mass: $\rm 1.0086649\; amu$ .
Speed of light in vacuum: $\rm 2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .
Charge on an electron: $\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C$ .

The mass defect of a nucleus is equal to the sum of the mass of its parts (protons and, in most cases, neutrons) minus the mass of the nucleus.

The atomic number of iron is 26. There are 26 protons in each iron-56 nucleus. The mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons (neutrons and protons) in each iron-56 nucleus. The other $56 - 26 = 30$ particles are neutrons.

The mass of protons and neutrons in each iron-56 nucleus will be:

$\rm 26 \times 1.0072765 + 30 \times 1.0086649 = 56.464736\;amu$ .

According to this question, the mass of an iron-56 nucleus is equal to 55.934939 amu. The mass defect will be

$\rm 56.464736 - 55.934939 = 0.514197\;amu$ .

By the mass-energy equivalence,

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

Refer to this equation, the speed of light in vacuum $c^{2}$ is the conversion factor between mass $m$ and energy $E$ . The value of $c$ is usually given only in SI units $\rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ . Accordingly, the value of $c^{2}$ will be in the SI unit $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ .

Convert million electron-volts to joules.

One electron-volt is equal to the electrical work done moving an electron across a potential difference of one volt.

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1 MeV&= \rm 10^{6}\; eV\\ &= \rm (10^{6}\times 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;C)\times 1\; V\\&=\rm 1.6021765\times 10^{-19}\;J\end{aligned}$ .

Convert the unit of $c^{2}$ from $\rm m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} = J\cdot kg^{-1}$ to the desired $\rm MeV \cdot amu^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}c^{2} &= \rm {\left(2.99792458\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\&=\rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\\ &= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\\&= \rm 8.987551787\times 10^{16}\; J\cdot kg^{-1}\times \frac{1\;MeV}{1.6021765\times 10^{-13}\;J}\times \frac{1\times 10^{-3}\;kg}{6.022142\times 10^{23}\;amu}\\&\approx \rm 931.602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Total binding energy in each iron-56 nucleus:

$\begin{aligned}E &= m\cdot c^{2}\\&= \rm 0.514197\;amu \times 9.31602164\;MeV\cdot amu^{-1} \\&=\rm 479.027038\; MeV \end{aligned}$ .

Again, the mass number 56 indicates that there are 56 nucleons in each iron-56 nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon of iron-56 $\mathrm{^{56}Fe}$ will be:

$\displaystyle \rm \frac{479.027038\; MeV}{56} \approx 8.6\; MeV$ .

Find the energy u of the capacitor in terms of c and q by using the definition of capacitance and the formula for the energy in

gtnhenbr [62]

The formula for the energy in a capacitor , u in terms of q and c is q²/2c

<h3>What is the energy of a capacitor?</h3>

The energy of a capacitor u = 1/2qv where

q = charge on capacitor and
v = voltage across capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance of a capacitor?</h3>

Also, the capacitance of a capacitor c = q/v where

q = charge on capacitor and
v = voltage across capacitor.

So, v = q/c

<h3>The formula for energy of the capacitor in terms of q and c</h3>

Substituting v into u, we have

u = 1/2qv

= 1/2q(q/c)

= q²/2c

So, the formula for the energy in a capacitor , u in terms of q and c is q²/2c
