    How Is Binding Energy Calculated for Lithium-6 Nuclei?

    Well, you are right, I didn't catch that , now I got 31.98 MeV, which is close to the same answer I got doing all the needless calculations but not quite, since now I got it right. Thanks!

    How Is Binding Energy Calculated for Lithium-6 Nuclei?

    Homework Statement How do I find the binding energy for the nuclei of Lithium 6. N=Z=3, atomic mass=6.015 u, binding energy per nucleon= 5.33 MeV The equation I'm using is : B(N,Z)=Z*m(0,1)*c^2+N*(mass of n)*c^2-m(N,Z)*c^2. B(N,Z)=3*(1.00783u*1.66E-27kg)*(3E8...

    Calculating current to produce magnetic field of Earth

    Suppose that the magnetic field of the Earth were due to a single current moving in a circle of radius 2988 km through the earth’s molten core. The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field on the surface near a magnetic pole is about 6.00E-5 T. About how large a current would be required to...

    How do I use substitution to solve these integrals?

    Please help me calculate these integrals. Suppose that ∫f(t)dt=11 [0,1]. Calculate each of the following. A. ∫f(4t)dt [0,0.25] = B. ∫f(1−4t)dt [0,0.25] = C. ∫f(3−8t)dt [0.25,0.375] = I did the first one and I believe is right and I try to do the 2nd and 3rd one similarily and...

    Find K/Ug: Solving a Constant Ratio of Kinetic and Potential Energy

    I don't really know how to approach this problem... A satellite is in a circular orbit around its parent body. The ratio of the satellite's kinetic energy to its potential energy, K/Ug, is a constant independent of the masses of the satellite and parent, and of the radius and velocity of the...
