Write the unit of mass in nuclear physics and define it and it is equivalent to how many kilograms?
(N/A) The unit of mass used in nuclear physics is the Atomic Mass Unit,denoted as $amu$ or $u$.
Definition: One atomic mass unit $(1 \ u)$ is defined as exactly $1/12$th of the mass of a carbon-$12$ atom.
Equivalence in kilograms: $1 \ u = 1.660539 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$.

View SolutionThe mass number and the volume of a nucleus are $A$ and $V$ respectively. If the mass number is increased to $2A$,then the volume changes to:
The nuclei ${ }_{6} C^{13}$ and ${ }_{7} N^{14}$ can be described as
$A$ nucleus has mass number $\alpha$ and radius $R_{\alpha}$. Another nucleus has mass number $\beta$ and radius $R_{\beta}$. If $\beta = 8\alpha$,then $R_{\alpha}/R_{\beta}$ is:
