The reaction energy of a reaction is the amount of energy released by the reaction. It is found by determining the difference in

mass between the reactants and products and then using E=mc2 to convert the lost mass into the released energy. Look again at the equation for the decay of radium (Ra), given in the introduction. Use the following table of masses to determine the reaction energy of this reaction.Nucleus or particle Mass in atomic mass unitsradium-226 226.025402radon-222 222.017571alpha particle 4.002602Express your answer in joules to three significant figures.

The appropriate answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule. Using the principle of energy conservation, the term “alpha decay” signifies the transformation of the parent particle into an alpha particle alongside daughter particles. The total mass of the alpha and daughter radon combines to 226.02017 u. Therefore, considering that the parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, a portion of mass is evidently lost, calculated as Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u. This resulted in an energy equivalent of Delta E = (0.00523 u)(931.5 MeV/1u), which translates to 4.87 MeV. For the conversion to Joules, where 1 joule [J] equals 6241506363094 MeV, the energy can be expressed as 4.87 MeV = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule.

Multiply the number 4.48E-8 by 5.2E-4 using Google. What is the correct answer in scientific notation?
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

2.32\times 10^{-11}

Explanation:

The first number is 4.48\times 10^{-8}.

The second number is 5.2\times 10^{-4}.

We must multiply these two numbers together.

4.48\times 10^{-8}\times 5.2\times 10^{-4}=(4.48\times 5.2)\times 10^{(-8-4)}\\\\=23.296\times 10^{-12}

In scientific notation: 2.32\times 10^{-11}

Therefore, this is the solution you are looking for.

Two frictionless lab carts start from rest and are pushed along a level surface by a constant force. Students measure the magnit
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is higher for the first cart.

Explanation:

For the second cart, its mass is 2kg and the momentum measured is 10kg m/s, which leads to

(2kg)v = 10kg\: m/s

resulting in

v = 5m/s.

Consequently, the kinetic energy for the 3kg cart ends up as

K.E.  = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

= \dfrac{1}{2}(2kg)(5m/s)^2 =  25J

\boxed{K.E = 25J}

indicating it is less than that of the 1kg cart so it follows that the first cart possesses greater kinetic energy.

10. How far does a transverse pulse travel in 1.23 ms on a string with a density of 5.47 × 10−3 kg/m under tension of 47.8 ?????
serg [3582]

Answer: Tension = 47.8N, Δx = 11.5×10^{-6} m.

              Tension = 95.6N, Δx = 15.4×10^{-5} m

Explanation: The speed of a wave on a string under tension can be determined using the following:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

F_{T} denotes tension (N)

μ refers to linear density (kg/m)

Calculating the velocity:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }

|v| = \sqrt{0.00874 }

|v| = 0.0935 m/s

Distance a pulse traveled in 1.23ms:

\Delta x = |v|.t

\Delta x = 9.35.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}

Δx = 11.5×10^{-6}

With a tension of 47.8N, the distance a pulse will cover is Δx = 11.5×10^{-6}  m.

When tension is doubled:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{2*47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }

|v| = \sqrt{2.0.00874 }

|v| = \sqrt{0.01568}

|v| = 0.1252 m/s

Distance in the same time:

\Delta x = |v|.t

\Delta x = 12.52.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}

\Delta x = 15.4×10^{-5}

With the increased tension, it moves \Delta x = 15.4×10^{-5} m

A car has a mass of 1600 kg. It is stuck in the snow and is being pulled out by a cable that applies a force of 7560 N due north
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Response:

The car's acceleration will be a=0.1375m/sec^2

Reasoning:

We are provided with a mass for the ball, m = 1600 kg

The force directed northward is F= 7560 N

The resistance force that counters the car's motion F_R=7340N

Thus, the overall force acting on the car F_{net}=F-F_R=7560-7340=220N

According to Newton's second law, we understand that F=ma

Therefore 220=1600\times a

a=0.1375m/sec^2

Fields of Point Charges Two point charges are fixed in the x-y plane. At the origin is q1 = -6.00 nC . and at a point on the x-a
Maru [3345]

Answer:

Part A) Electric fields at the designated point due to charges q₁ and q₂:

E₁ = 33.75 * 10³ N/C (-j), E₂ = (6.48 (-i) + 8.64 (+j)) * 10³ N/C

Part B) The overall electric field at P (Ep)

Ep = (6.48 * 10³ (-i) + 25.11 * 10³ (-j)) N/C

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The electric field at point P caused by a point charge is calculated as:

E = k*q/d²

E: Electric field measured in N/C

q: charge magnitude in Newtons (N)

k: electric constant measured in N*m²/C²

d: distance from the charge q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalence:

1 nC = 10⁻⁹ C

1 cm = 10⁻² m

Data:

k = 9 * 10⁹ N*m²/C²

q₁ = -6.00 nC = -6 * 10⁻⁹ C

q₂ = +3.00 nC = +3 * 10⁻⁹ C

d₁ = 4 cm = 4 * 10⁻² m

d_{2} =\sqrt{(4*10^{-2})^{2}+((3*10^{-2})^{2} }

d₂ = 5 * 10⁻² m

Part A) Calculation for electric fields at point from q₁ and q₂:

Refer to the attached illustration:

E₁: Electric Field at point P(0,4) cm due to charge q₁. Since q₁ is negative (q₁-), the electric field approaches the charge.

E₂: Electric Field at point P(0,4) cm due to charge q₂. Since q₂ is positive (q₂+), the electric field emanates from the charge.

E₁ = k*q₁/d₁² = 9 * 10⁹ * 6 * 10⁻⁹ / (4 * 10⁻²)² = 33.75 * 10³ N/C

E₂ = k*q₂/d₂²= 9 * 10⁹ * 3 * 10⁻⁹ / (5 * 10⁻²)² = 10.8 * 10³ N/C

E₁ = 33.75 * 10³ N/C (-j)

E₂x = E₂cosβ = 10.8 * (3/5) = 6.48 * 10³ N/C

E₂y = E₂sinβ = 10.8 * (4/5) = 8.64 * 10³ N/C

E₂ = (6.48 (-i) + 8.64 (+j)) * 10³ N/C

Part B) Calculation for net electric field at P (Ep)

The electric field at point P from multiple point charges is the vector sum of the individual electric fields.

Ep = Epx (i) + Epy (j)

Epx = E₂x = 6.48 * 10³ N/C (-i)

Epy = E₁y + E₂y = (33.75 * 10³ (-j) + 8.64 * 10³ (+j)) N/C = 25.11 * 10³ (-j) N/C

Ep = (6.48 * 10³ (-i) + 25.11 * 10³ (-j)) N/C

Ep = (6.48 * 10³ (-i) + 25.11 * 10³ (-j)) N/C
