Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Number of protons = 28

Number of neutrons = 28

Mass of each proton = 1.007277 amu

Mass of 28 protons = 28 * 1.007277 amu = 28.203756 amu

Mass of each neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of 28 neutrons = 28 * 1.008665 amu = 28.24262 amu

mass defect of nickel-56  = 0.4667 amu

Binding energy = Δmc^2

Binding energy = 0.4667 *(3 * 10^8)^2

Binding energy =4.2 * 10^16 J

Binding energy per nucleon = 4.2 * 10^16 J/56

Binding energy per nucleon = 7.5 * 10^14 J

Which one of the following statements BEST describes a chemical reaction?
Natalija [7]

Answer: The correct statement is (A new substance is formed and the process can usually NOT be undone.)

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is simply defined as the reaction between two or more elements in which a new substance is formed and the process can usually not be undone. Different types of chemical reaction includes:

-- combination reaction: this occurs when two or more reactants form a product. For example: In the burning of coal, It combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Also in the burning of wood, carbon dioxide is given off and ashes are formed. Because new substance is being formed, they often can't be undone. The ashes formed can't be changed back into wood. Other types of chemical reaction are listed below.

-- Decomposition reaction

-- Single displacement reaction

-- Double displacement reaction

-- combustion reaction

-- Redox reaction

For the product of a chemical reaction to be undone (reversed), it has to undergo another chemical process different from the one that produced it.

How did max planck contribute to the modern atomic theory?
Igoryamba

Answer:

Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame rests primarily on his role as originator of the quantum theory. This theory revolutionized our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time

#1  The Correct Answer is D

<span>D) The Distance Traveled by The Wave During One Full Cycle.

Ex. frequency, wavelength, amplitude and wave speed. Amplitude is measured in metres (m). The greater the amplitude of a wave then the more energy it is carrying. The wavelength, λ, of a wave is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the next wave along. 

(The symbol is a Greek letter, 'lambda'.)
  

 #2  The Correct Answer is B

</span><span>B) Police Siren 

Ex.
Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Slinky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope waves are other examples of mechanical waves; each requires some medium in order to exist. </span>
