- If the energy in fusion bombs were used to supply the energy needs of the world, how many of the 9-megaton variety would be needed for a year’s supply of energy (using data from Equation 8.7)? U(x)=12kx2=const.arrow_forwardRank the following quantities of energy from largest to the smallest. State if any are equal. (a) the absolute value of the average potential energy of the SunEarth system (b) the average kinetic energy of the Earth in its orbital motion relative to the Sun (c) the absolute value of the total energy of the SunEarth systemarrow_forwardA 500-kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth’s surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth’s surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.00 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction?arrow_forward
- As you will learn, carbon-14 (14C) is an unstable isotope of carbon. It has the same chemical properties and electronic structure as the much more abundant isotope carbon-12 (12C), but it has different nuclear properties. Its mass is 14 u, greater than that of carbon-12 because of the two extra neutrons in the carbon-14 nucleus. Assume the CO molecular potential energy is the same for both isotopes of carbon, and for carbon monoxide with carbon-12 atoms the frequency of the photon that causes the v = 0 to v = 1 transition is 6.42 1013 Hz and the moment of inertia is 1.46 10-46 kg · m2.(a) What is the vibrational frequency of 14CO? (b) What is the moment of inertia of 14CO? (c) What wavelengths of light can be absorbed by 14CO in the (v = 0, J = 10) state that will cause it to end up in the v = 1 level? _______µm (larger wavelength)_______µm (smaller wavelength)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the energy of motion?

- A speck of carbon dust may contain as many as 30 billion atoms of carbon, each atom having a mass of 2.00 x 10-23 grams. Suppose the mass of all the atoms in a speck of carbon dust were converted entirely to energy and applied to the kinetic energy of a baseball. How fast would the baseball be moving? (Mass of baseball = 0.145 kg. ) (1 gram = 1 x 103kg) (KE = ½ mv2) (1 billion = 1 x 109)arrow_forwardA 0.05 kg mass uses the potential energy of a spring in acquiring a speed of 0.4 m/s when the spring was decompressed from a distance of 0.1 meter. What is the total energy developed during the process if the spring constant is 0.5 N/m?arrow_forwardThe energy yield of a nuclear weapon is often defined in terms of the equivalent mass of a conventional explosive. 1 ton of a conventional explosive releases 4.2 GJ. A typical nuclear warhead releases 250,000 times more, so the yield is expressed as 250 kilotons. That is a staggering explosion, but the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs was significantly greater. Assume that the asteroid was a sphere 10 km in diameter, with a density of 2500 kg/m3 and moving at 30 km/s. What energy was released at impact, in joules and in kilotons?arrow_forward
