If you don't wear a helmet and let's say you fell off your bike, you can severely injure your head! But if you DO wear a helmet and you fell off your bike, there's about I predict a 98% chance that you won't injure but sometimes it's 100%

hope this helps!<span />

Answer:

Explanation:

A bicycle helmet is a very important gear to wear before riding a bicycle because :

1. It protects your head and brain from injury when you fall or crash into a moving car.

2. It reduces the chances of head,face and neck injuries.

It gives you the opportunity to show off your style. Most bicycle helmets have very colourful and great designs that add beauty to your outlook while riding a bicycle.

3. It makes you visible to other motorist using the road especially at night. Bicycle helmets has reflective shiny colours that gets the other road users attention.

a vertical solid steel post 29cm in diameter and 2.0m long is required to support a load of 8200kg, ignore the weight of the pos
erik [133]

Answer:

The stress is  \sigma  =  1.218*10^{6} \  N/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the post is  d =  29 \ cm  =  0.29 \  m

   The length is L  =  2.0 \  m

    The weight of the loading mass

Generally  the  radius of the post is mathematically represented as

     r =  \frac{0.29}{2}

=>   r = 0.145 \  m

Generally the area of the post is  

       A =  \pi r^2

=>     A =  3.14 *  0.145 ^2

=>     A =  0.066 \ m^2

Generally the weight exerted by the load is mathematically represented as

        F =  m  *  g

=>      F =  8200  *  9.8

=>      F =  80360 \  N

Generally the stress is mathematically represented as

         \sigma  =  \frac{F}{A}

=>      \sigma  =  \frac{80360 }{0.066}

=>      \sigma  =  1.218*10^{6} \  N/m^2

Particles 1 and 2 of charge q1 = q2 = +3.20 × 10−19 C are on a y axis at distance d = 17.0 cm from the origin. Particle 3 of cha
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(a) 0.17 m

(b) 5.003 m

(c) 6.38 × 10^{-26} N

(d) 7.37 ×10^{-29} N

Explanation:

(a) The minimum value of x will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.

(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

h^{2} = b^{2} + p^{2}

h^{2} = 5^{2} + 0.17^{2}   \\h = \sqrt{} 25.03\\h= 5.002 m

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>

(c) For minimum magnitude we use the minimum distance calculated in (a)

Minimum Distance = 0.17 m

For electrostatic force=     F=\frac{kq1q2}{x^{2} }

F=\frac{9 x 10^{9} x3.2x10^{-19}x 6.4x10^{-19}  }{0.17^{2} }

F= 6.38×10^{-26} N

(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)

Maximum Distance = 5.002 m

Using the formula for electrostatic force again:

F =  \frac{9x10^{9}x3.2x10^{-19}x6.4x10^{-19}   }{5.002^{2} } }

F= 7.37×10^{-29 N

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.
