Hi there!

Recall the equation for spring potential energy:

PE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = extension of spring from equilibrium (m)

PE = Potential Energy (J)

Plug in the given values:

PE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(2^2) = \boxed{8 J}

Importance of SI system in points​
monitta

Answer:

SI unit is an international system of measurements that are used universally in technical and scientific research to avoid the confusion with the units. Having a standard unit system is important because it helps the entire world to understand the measurements in one set of unit system.

You want to find out how many atoms of the isotope 65Cu are in a small sample of material. You bombard the sample with neutrons
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

a) number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu)  is 7.692 10⁶ atoms

b) m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by using the radioactive decay ratio

           N = N₀  e^{- \lambda t}o e - lambda t

The half-life time is defined as the time it takes for half of the radioactive (activated) atoms to decay, therefore after two half-lives there are

            N = ½ (½ N₀) = ¼ N₀

            N₀ = 4 N

in each decay a photon is emitted so we can use a direct rule of proportions. If an atom emits a photon it has Eo = 1,04 Mev, how many photons it has energy E = 10,000 MeV

          # _atoms = 1 atom (photon) (E / Eo)

          # _atoms = 1 10000 / 1.04

          # _atoms = 9615,4 atoms

          N₀ = 4 #_atoms

          N₀ = 4 9615,4

          N₀=  38461.6  atoms

in the exercise indicates that half of the atoms decay in this way and the other half decays directly to the base state of Zinc, so the total number of activated atoms

          N_activated = 2 # _atoms

          N_activated = 2 38461.6

          N_activated = 76923.2

also indicates that 1% = 0.01 of the nuclei is activated by neutron bombardment

          N_activated = 0.01 N_total

          N_total = N_activated / 0.01

          N_total = 76923.2 / 100

          N_total = 7.692 10⁶ atoms

so the number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu)  is 7.692 10⁶

b) the natural abundance of copper is

  ⁶³Cu     69.17%

  ⁶⁵Cu    30.83%

Let's use a direct proportion rule. If there are 7.692 10⁶  ⁶⁵Cu that represents 30.83, how much ⁶³Cu is there that represents 69.17%

                # _63Cu = 69.17%  (7.692 10⁶    / 30.83%)

                # _63Cu = 17.258 10⁶  atom  ⁶³Cu

the total amount of comatose is

              #_total Cu = #_ 65Cu + # _63Cu

              #_total Cu = (7.692 + 17.258) 10⁶

              #_total Cu = 24.95 10⁶

the atomic mass of copper is m_Cu = 63.546 u

          m_total = #_totalCu m_Cu

          m_total = 24.95 10⁶ 63,546 u

          m_total = 1.585 10⁹ u

let's reduce to kg

           m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u (1,66054 10⁻²⁷ kg / 1 u)

           m_total Cu = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg
