A.) We use the famous equation proposed by Albert Einstein written below:

E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy of the photon
Δm is the mass defect, or the difference of the mass before and after the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s

Substituting the value:

E = (1.01m - m)*(3×10⁸ m/s) = 0.01mc² = 3×10⁶ Joules

b) The actual energy may be even greater than 3×10⁶ Joules because some of the energy may have been dissipated. Not all of the energy will be absorbed by the photon. Some energy would be dissipated to the surroundings.

A cadillac escalade has a mass of 2 569.6 kg, if it accelerate at 4.65m/s2 what is the net force of the car
anygoal [31]
Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, therefore 
F=ma
m=2569.6 kg
a=4.65m/s^2
therefore F=2569.6*4.65=11948.6 (correct to 1 d.p.)

A 0.20-kg mass is oscillating on a spring over a horizontal frictionless surface. When it is at a displacement of 2.6 cm for equ
valentinak56 [21]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

                    mass = 0.20 kg

              displacement = 2.6 cm

              Kinetic energy = 1.4 J

       Spring potential energy = 2.2 J

Now, we will calculate the total energy present present as follows.

         Total energy = Kinetic energy + spring potential energy

                           = 1.4 J + 2.2 J

                            = 3.6 Joules

As maximum kinetic energy of the object will be equal to the total energy.

So,      K.E = Total energy

                = 3.6 J

Also, we know that

                  K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{m}

or,                   v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}}

                        = \sqrt{2 \times 3.6 J}{0.2 kg}

                        = \sqrt{36}

                        = 6 m/s

thus, we can conclude that maximum speed of the mass during its oscillation is 6 m/s.

An engine absorbs 2150 J as heat from a hot reservoir and gives off 750 J as heat to a cold reservoir during each cycle. What is
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

65.2 %

Explanation:

Let Q1 = Heat absorbed by the system

Q2 = Heat released by the system

e= (1 - (Q2/Q1)) x 100

e= (1 - (750/2150)) x 100

e= (1 - 0.348) x 100

e= 0.652 x 100

e= 65.2 %
