one another, and the boy moves away with a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the final velocity of the girl? â€"1. 9 m/s 1. 9 m/s â€"4. 8 m/s 4. 8 m/s.

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a

 Solid Wire     I  =   0.01237 \  A      

  Stranded  Wire  I_2  =   0.00978 \  A

b

  Solid Wire   R  = 0.0149 \ \Omega

   Stranded  Wire  R_1  = 0.0189 \ \Omega

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

  The  radius of the first wire is  r_1  = 1.53 mm = 0.0015 \  m

  The radius of  each strand is  r_0 =  0.306 \ mm =  0.000306 \ m

  The current density in both wires is  J  =  1750 \  A/m^2

Considering the first wire

     The  cross-sectional area of the first wire is

      A   = \pi  r^2

= >  A   = 3.142 *  (0.0015)^2

= >  A   = 7.0695 *10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally the current in the first wire is    

     I  =  J*A

=>  I  =  1750*7.0695 *10^{-6}

=>  I  =   0.01237 \  A

Considering the second wire  wire

The  cross-sectional area of the second wire is

     A_1  =  19 *  \pi r^2

=>     A_1  =  19 *3.142 *  (0.000306)^2

=>  A_1  =  5.5899 *10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally the current is  

      I_2  =  J  *  A_1

=>    I_2  =   1750  *  5.5899 *10^{-6}

=>    I_2  =   0.00978 \  A

Considering question two  

 From the question we are told that

     Resistivity is  \rho  =  1.69* 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m

     The  length of each wire  is  l =  6.25 \  m

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

    R  =  \frac{\rho *  l  }{A}

=> R  =  \frac{  1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{ 7.0695 *10^{-6} }

=> R  = 0.0149 \ \Omega

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

    R_1  =  \frac{\rho *  l  }{A_1}

=> R_1  =  \frac{  1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{5.5899 *10^{-6} }

=> R_1  = 0.0189 \ \Omega

If a specimen was being viewed using a 20x objective lens and 10x ocular lens, what would be the total magnification
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

As Per Given Information

20x objective lens was used by specimen

10x ocular lens was also used by him.

we have to find the total magnification.

For calculating the total magnification we 'll simply do multiplication

Total Magnification = 20x × 10x

Total Magnification = 200x

So , the total magnification will be 200x .

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.

<h3>a)</h3>

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.

<h3>b)</h3>

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.

A 4.30 g bullet moving at 943 m/s strikes a 730 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(a)2.7 m/s

(b) 5.52 m/s

Explanation:

The total of the system would be conserved as no external force is acting on it.

Initial momentum = final momentum

⇒(4.30 g × 943 m/s) + (730 g × 0) = (4.30 g × 484 m/s) + (730 g × v)

⇒ 730 ×v = (4054.9 - 2081.2) =1973.7

⇒v=2.7 m/s

Thus, the resulting speed of the block is 2.7 m/s.

(b) since, the momentum is conserved, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass would be constant.

V_{COM} = \frac{m_b}{m_b+m_{bl}}v_{bi}=\frac{4.30}{4.30+730}\times 943 m/s = 5.52 m/s

Thus, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass is 5.52 m/s.

A piece of glass has a temperature of 72.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of the glass is 840 J/kg/deg C. A liquid
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

741 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature of glass, T(g) = 72° C

Specific heat capacity of glass, c(g) = 840 J/kg°C

Temperature of liquid, T(l)= 40° C

Final temperature, T(2) = 57° C

Specific heat capacity of the liquid, c(l) = ?

Using the relation

Heat gained by the liquid = Heat lost by the glass

m(l).C(l).ΔT(l) = m(g).C(g).ΔT(g)

Since their mass are the same, then

C(l)ΔT(l) = C(g)ΔT(g)

C(l) = C(g)ΔT(g) / ΔT(l)

C(l) = 840 * (72 - 57) / (57 - 40)

C(l) = 12600 / 17

C(l) = 741 J/kg°C
