    Does change in 'g' affect frequency of mass spring system?

    I attempted using f = 1/(2pi x sqrt l/g) For Earth I found the value of length to be 0.0276m. Then I substituted the value in the equation, putting (1/3)g instead of g, to find the value of f in Mars. My answer is C. I am confused. Please help me.

    Nuclear fission calculation of energy released

    m= 0.014 kg E = 200MeV mol of Uranium x avogadro constant = no. of mol of uranium nuclei So , energy released = 0.014/235 x 6.02 x 10^(23) x 200 MeV = 7.17 x 10 ^21 MeV Hurrah! A friend of mine helped me to do it. Anyway, Thanks to you all! :-)

    Average Kinetic Energy of molecules calculation

    Actually, ''dinitrogen'' is not part of the second question. It was part of the answer from solution book.

    Nuclear fission calculation of energy released

    As far as I know, Uranium 235 can absorb a neutron and can undergo fission, not U- 238. Probably this is why they have given % of uranium 235 in the question.

    Average Kinetic Energy of molecules calculation

    the answer in the solution book is 29K which only comes if I use mass for only one atom. ( They did not show any working ) My attempt: 1/2 x (1.67 x 10^(-27)) x (355)^(2) = 3/2 x 1.38 x 10^(-23) x T T = 29.48820652 K The confusion arises when I tried the following question: Q. Estimate the...

    Nuclear fission calculation of energy released

    There are (2000/235) x 6.02 x 10^(23) = 5.1234 x 10^(24) atoms in 2kg of fuel. If 0.7% of these fission, 5.1234 x 10^(24) x 0.7%= 3.586 x 10^(22) atoms will undergo fission and if fission of each atom releases 200 MeV, then 3.586 x 10^(22) x 200 x 10^(6) x 1.6 x 10^(-19) = 1.1476 x 10^(12)...

    Nuclear fission calculation of energy released

    Summary:: Calculate the amount of energy in joules generated from 2 kg of uranium fuel if the uranium 235 represents 0.7% of the metal and every fission releases 200 MeV. Hi! I am stuck in this question from my exercise book : Q. Calculate the amount of energy in joules generated from 2 kg...

    Why Might a Math Solution Involve Doubling the Percentage Difference?

    Sorry for forgetting to upload the 'worked example' along with the question My bad :-d

    How is the Answer to 3(d) Found in Simple Harmonic Motion Problem?

    w = 2pi/8 =0.785 A = 3/100 metre . For maximum velocity at 'z', sinwt = 1 v= Aw = 0.785 x 3/100 = 0.0235 m/s But the answer from the book is 6 m/s. How do I get that?

    How is the Answer to 3(d) Found in Simple Harmonic Motion Problem?

    Will you please share your calculation here? are you using v = -Aw sin(wt) ? ( this equation is not in the chapter of the exercise ) well, I am studying by myself. I do not have any instructor or a teaching assistant.

    How is the Answer to 3(d) Found in Simple Harmonic Motion Problem?

    Yes. I have drawn a tangent with the curve at 'z' and calculated the gradient. Gradient = ( 3+3 )/(7-5) = 3 cm/s = 0.03m/s. But the answer is 6m/s. Will you please tell me how?
