    Find the difference in atomic mass between the two isotopes

    Isotopes differ by the number of nucleons but have the same number of protons. Ok, I'm starting to see it. So, why do you subtract the nucleon atomic mass from the atomic mass difference? Isn't the difference in mass between two different isotopes already there? Or is it asking for the...

    Diffraction Grating Overlapping Orders

    Homework Statement The same diffraction grating is used with two different wavelengths of light, λA and λB. The fourth-order principal maximum of light A exactly overlaps the third-order principal maximum of light B. Find the ratio λA/λB. Homework Equations sin theta = m lambda /...

    Electric Force and Coulomb's law problem

    Homework Statement Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -28 µC at y1 = +0.25 m and a positive point charge q2 at y2 = +0.38 m. A third point charge q = +8.5 µC is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two...

    How to solve rotational work and energy problem?

    mgh = 1/2mv^2 + 1/2IW^2 Tangent Velocity = rW W=Tangent V / r Substitute W and solve for h. h = (1/2V^2 + 1/3(Tangent V)^2) / g Tangent V = translational V h=3.18 I got it now, Thanks!

    How to solve rotational work and energy problem?

    Homework Statement Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top of a hill to the bottom, reaching a translational speed of 6.12 m/s. Ignore frictional losses. Homework Equations (a) What is the height of the hill? (b) Released from rest at the same height, a can of frozen...
