Answer:

$\boxed{\bold { \large { \boxed {KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2 \ , \ PE=mgh}}}}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy formula

$\displaystyle KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Potential energy formula

$\displaystyle PE=mgh$

$\displaystyle KE \Rightarrow \sf kinetic \ energy \ (J)$

$\displaystyle PE \Rightarrow \sf potential \ energy \ (J)$

$\displaystyle m \Rightarrow \sf mass \ (kg)$

$\displaystyle v \Rightarrow \sf velocity \ (m/s)$

$\displaystyle g \Rightarrow \sf acceleration \ of \ gravity\ (m/s^2)$

$\displaystyle h \Rightarrow \sf height \ (m)$

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:

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

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having

maks197457 [2]

Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.

a red ball moves horizontally in a 30 m long tube what is the displacement of the red ball between 0s and 24s?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

30 metres.

Explanation:

Given that a red ball moves horizontally in a 30 m long tube.

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specific direction. It has both magnitude and direction.

Since the motion is horizontal, it moves is a certain direction.

Within the stipulation of time, the displacement will be the distance covered in the horizontal direction which is 30 metres.

Therefore, the displacement of the motion of the red ball is 30 metres.
