Answer:3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

To determine the mass reduction, delta mass Xe, of the xenon nucleus due to its decay, we first use the provided wavelength of the gamma radiation to calculate its frequency via c = freq*wavelength.

From C=f*lambda we set up: 3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12.

Solving gives frequency F=0.87*10^20 Hz.

Next, we calculate the emitted energy using the equation E=hf, which translates to E=f*Planck's constant.

Thus, E=0.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34, resulting in E=575.94*10^(-16).

This energy is then converted from joules to MeV.

Utilizing the formula E=mc^2, with c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u, enables us to find the reduction in mass, yielding

3.87*10^-4 u.

The position of an object is given by x = at3 - bt2 + ct,where a = 4.1 m/s3, b = 2.2 m/s2, c = 1.7 m/s, and x and t are in SI un
serg [2593]

Answer:

The response to your inquiry is: 15 m/s²

Explanation:

Equation    x = at³ - bt² + ct

a = 4.1 m/s³

b = 2.2 m/s²

c = 1.7 m/s

First we calculate x at t = 4.1 s

x = 4.1(4.1)³ - 2.2(4.1)² + 1.7(4.1)

x = 4.1(68.921) - 2.2(16.81) + 6.97

x = 282.58 - 36.98 + 6.98

x = 252.58 m

Now we calculate speed

v = x/t = 252.58/ 4.1 = 61.6 m/s

Finally

acceleration = v/t = 61.6/4.1 = 15 m/s²

Compare the time period of two simple pendulums of length 4m and 16m at a place.
Ostrovityanka [2208]

Answer:

The period of the pendulum measuring 16 m is double that of the 4 m pendulum.

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum with length (L) is defined by:

T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where "g" denotes the local gravitational acceleration.

Since both pendulums are positioned at the same location, the value of "g" will be consistent for both, and when we compare the periods, we find:

T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2

Thus, the duration of the 16 m pendulum is two times that of the 4 m one.

inna [2210]
The answer is (C) 4 beats per second. The number of beats is computed as the difference between the frequencies of the two tuning forks. Plugging in the frequency values yields a result. Thus, the number of observable beats per second will be 4.

A water jet that leaves a nozzle at 60 m/s at a flow rate of 120 kg/s is to be used to generate power by striking the buckets lo
Ostrovityanka [2208]

Response:

216000 W or 216 kW

Details:

Power: This refers to the rate at which energy is utilized or consumed. The standard unit for power is the Watt (W).

In general,

Power = Energy/time

P = E/t........................ Equation 1.

However,

E = 1/2mv²..................... Equation 2

with m representing mass, and v indicating velocity.

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1,

P = 1/2mv²/t...................... Equation 3

Assuming flow rate (Q) = m/t,

Q = m/t................ Equation 4

Insert equation 4 into equation 3,

P = Qv²/2........................ Equation 5

Where Q stands for flow rate, v is velocity, and P denotes power.

Given: Q = 120 kg/s, v = 60 m/s

Plug these values into equation 5,

P = 120(60)²/2

P = 60(60)²

P = 60×3600

P = 216000 W.

Thus, the potential power generation of the water jet is 216000 W or 216 kW.

A student wishes to determine the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter. After she mixes 108.7 g of water at 60.2°C with 108
Ostrovityanka [2208]

Answer: The calorimeter's heat capacity is 6.72J/g^oC

Explanation:

This scenario assumes the amount of heat lost by the hot object equals the amount of heat gained by the cold object.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat capacity of calorimeter =?

m_1 = mass of water = 108.7 g

m_2 = mass of calorimeter = 108.7 g

T_f = final temperature of the mixture = 35.0^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of the water = 60.2^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of calorimeter = 19.3^oC

Now substituting all provided values into the formula, we obtain

(108.7g)\times (4.184J/g^oC)\times (35.0-60.2)^oC=-(108.7g)\times c_2\times (35.0-19.3)^oC

c_2=6.72J/g^oC

Hence, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.72J/g^oC
