Answer:

8.46

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of I = 549

Thus, the number of protons = 49

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

105 =  49 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,

Calculated mass = (49*1.007825 + 56*1.008665) amu = 105.868665 amu

Mass defect = Δm = |105.868665 - 104.914558| amu = 0.954107 amu

The conversion of amu to MeV is shown below as:-

1 amu = 931.5 MeV

<u>So, Energy = 0.954107*931.5 MeV/atom = 888.750671 MeV/atom</u>

Also, 1 atom has 105 nucleons (Protons+neutrons)

<u>So, Energy = 888.750671 MeV/105nucleons = 8.46 MeV/nucleon</u>

<u>Answer:- 8.46</u>

a pro golfer hits 45.0-gram golf ball, giving its speed of 75.0 m/s. what is the momenntum has the golfer given to the ball
AfilCa [17]
Momentum = mass x velocity. 45g = 0.045kg. 0.045 x 75 = 3.375 kgm/s

At 1 atm of pressure and a temperature of 0 degrees celsius, which phases of H2O can exist?
NemiM [27]
B, because water is changing its state from solid to liquid (it's fusion in portuguese, don't know in english), so while it's changing, water has 2 states at the same time.

Explain how transverse waves can be produced on a rope. Then describe how pieces of the rope move as waves pass.
andrew-mc [135]
Transverse waves can be produced on a rope by moving one end of the rope up and down.The movement causes motion in the particles that make up the rope and the rope itself becomes the medium. The particles move perpendicular to the propagation. The movement also causes crests(highest point of the wave) and troughs (lowest point of the wave) which move along the direction of propagation.
