[SOLVED] Nuclear Physics - Mass Defect & Binding Energy
1. Carbon 12 (^{12}_{6}C) has a nuclear mass of 1.99264 x 10-26 kg, a proton has a mass of 1.67353 x 10-27, and a neutron has a mass of 1.67492 x 10-27 kg. Calculate the mass defect for carbon 12.
My equation looks like this...
1. An aluminum airplane is flying west, parallel to the ground, at 350 m/s. The Earth's magnetic field produces a downward component of 8.30 x10-5 T at that point. For the purposes of this question, treat the wing as if it was a conducting rod.
a) What is the magnitude of the potential...
1. The following information describes a current-balance investigation. The current in the solenoid that generates the magnetic field was held constant and the length of wire in the end of the loop in the field was 0.050 m long.

1. A force of 9.2x10-14 acts on an unknown particle that travels at 2.40x106 m/s into a magnetic field of 4.8x10-2 T. How many elementary charges does this particle carry?
I've used Fm=qvB and found q=Fm/vB and got an answer of q=7.986 x10-19 C. I'm not sure where to go from here. I assume I...

1. A positively charged particle enters an evacuated region between two parallel plates with an initial horizontal velocity of 29.6 m/s, as shown in the following diagram. The particle has a mass of 35.6 mg and a charge of +8.40 nC...
1. Name three methods that could be used to charge an object.
Friction, induction, and conduction, I assume...
2. A negatively charged rubber rod is momentarily touched to the knob of a neutral electroscope and then removed.
A) What is the charge on the knob? Negative
B) What is the...
[SOLVED] Physics 30 - Static Electricity
Imagine that you have an object with an unknown electrostatic charge. If you are given a rubber rod, fur, and a neutral electroscope, describe how you could find the type of charge on the object.
My answer: By rubbing the rod on the fur, the fur will...
I'm taking Physics for the first time in three years by correspondence... I'm struggling with a few questions, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I promise there isn't actually THAT many questions here. For the most part I have the answers to the parts a and b. Thanks in advance for any...
