Imagine that you are in a different universe where there are 3 types of nucleons with spin equal to 1/2 and electric charges equal to +1, -1 and 0. Mass similar to that of a proton. Forces are similar to those of our universe. i) How do equations change for A and Z as a function of N+, N-, No and what is the semiempirical equation for the binding energy as a function of A, Z, and No? ii) At what Z and No do we have the maximum and minimum binding energy for every A? iii) When do we have stable nuclei under beta (β) decay? If "alpha particle" in this situation has N+ = N- = No = 2, what does apply for alpha (α) decay? iv) What does apply for nuclear fission and finally, how would life be in this situation?arrow_forwardWater with density of 1000 kg/m^3 flows through a horizontal pipe (in the x-z plane) bend as shown.

The absolute pressures at the entrance and exit of the bend are 210 kPa and 110 kPa, respectively. Assuming the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and neglecting the weight and viscosity of the water , find the following: A)If the area of section 2 is doubled, then the velocity will be halved but the momentum flux will still be the same: ture or false ?arrow_forward

The stream hits a stationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45º and the other half is directed downward at 45°, and both streams have a final average speed of 6 m/s. The gravitational effects and friction loss are considered to be negligible. Determine the x- and z-components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force.
