We drop a magnet with mass 2 kg through a conducting loop starting from height 2.35 meters above the ground. The resistance of the loop plus the induced current dissipates some of the energy as heat. We observe the mass landing with a speed of 0.6 meters/second. How much energy was lost to heat? You may take g to be 9.8 m/s^2 and ignore all other forces than gravity and electricity + magnetism.

Sunspots vary in number as a function oftime, exhibiting an approximately 11-year cycle. Galileo made thefirst European observations of sunspots in 1610, and daily observations were begun in Zurich in 1749. At the present time we are wellinto the 24th observed cycle. What is the frequency of the sunspotcycle? Give your answer in Hz

The following quotation is taken from the article “Quantum Black Holes”, by Bernard J. Carr and Steven B. Giddings, in the May 2005 issue of Scientific American. "The total time for a black hole to evaporate away is proportional to the cube of its initial mass. For a solar-mass hole, the lifetime is an unobservably long 1064 years." a. Recall that the solar mass is 2 × 10³0 kilograms. Write a formula for the lifetime, L, of a black hole as a function of its mass, m. Start by finding the value of the constant k, then write your function using the letter k (rather than its value in scientific notation). For example, for a direct variation you would write “L(m) = km”. k = a × 10¹ where a = L(m) = b. The present age mass = c × 10ª kg, where c = A and b = = of the universe is about 10¹0 years. What would be the mass of a black hole as old as the universe? ID and d = J
The sun produces energy via nuclear fusion at the rate of 4x10 J/s. Based on the proposed overall fusion equation, how long will the sun shine in years before it exhausts its hydrogen fuel? (Assume that there are 365 days in the average year.) Express your answer to one significant figure and include the appropriate units.
On Dec 5, 2022, scientific history was made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California when nuclear fusion was achieved when the 192 lasers deposited about 2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy into a frozen pea sized deuterium-tritium pellet and ignited the pellet through nuclear fusion to release 3 MJ of energy. The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy?
How much heat, in joules, does the fusion of four protons undergo nuclear fusion to produce an a- particle and two positrons. The mass of the a-particle is 6.64465x10^-27 kg, the mass of the positron is 9.10939x10-^31 kg, and the mass of 4 protons is 1.67262x10^-27 kg. Report your answer in kJ/mol
The nuclear reaction that powers the sun is the fusion of four protons into a helium nucleus. The process involves several steps, but the net reaction is simply 4p → 4He + energy. The mass of a helium nucleus is known to be 6.64 x 10-27 kg.a. How much energy is released in each fusion?b. What fraction of the initial rest mass energy is this energy?
