Yes, our friend is right, because there is no contradiction to the law of conservation of mass in the above equation. It just the mass of the product is equal to the mass of reactants.. and that is shown in the equation you have presented earlier
Answer:443.1 s
Explanation:
Given
Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of 
Mass of train
Final speed (v)
F=ma
so 

and acceleration is



Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars
find acceleration force divided by Mass
a=f/m
Answer:
option (b)
Explanation:
Let the resistance of each resistor is R.
In series combination,
The effective resistance is Rs.
rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR
Let V be the source of potential difference.
Power in series
Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)
In parallel combination
the effective resistance is Rp
1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times
1 / Rp = N / R
Rp = R / N
Power is parallel
Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R ..... (2)
Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get
Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2
