This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with E = m c² . But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
E = m c²
1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule = (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²
Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:
Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)
= (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)
= 1.144 x 10⁻³⁰ kg . (choice-1)
This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature. The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?
Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)
= (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules
= 7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .
How much converted mass is that ?
E = m c²
Divide each side by c² : Mass = E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)
= 0.786 kilogram ! ! !
THAT should impress us ! If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly (1 pound 11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

Explanation:

Answer:
<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>
<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>
Explanation:
Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft
difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft
a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.
According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,
your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>
b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.
the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,
the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,
therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>
Which organic compound forms much of the structure of cells?
Answer: A Carbohydrates
Explanation:
Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width
For statement A;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²
The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)
For statement B;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²
Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)
Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
