Question
Express unified atomic mass unit in kg.

Answer

The unified atomic mass unit is the standard unit that is used for indicating mass on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (either a single proton or neutron) and is numerically equivalent to 1g/mol. It is defined as one- twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state.

A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5km away with a speed of 5km h–1. Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5km h–1. What is the
Average speed of the man over the interval of time
  1. 0 to 30 min,
  2. 0 to 50 min,
  3. 0 to 40 min?
[Note: You will appreciate from this exercise why it is better to define average speed as total path length divided by time, and not as magnitude of average velocity. You would not like to tell the tired man on his return home that his average speed was zero!]
A violin player riding on a slow train plays a 440Hz note. Another violin player standing near the track plays the same note. When the two are close by and the train approaches the person on the ground, he hears 4.0 beats per second. The speed of sound in air = 340m/s.
  1. Calculate the speed of the train.
  2. What beat frequency is heard by the player in the train?
