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.

Answer:

16.4287

Explanation:

The force and displacement are related by Hooke's law:

F = kΔx

The period of oscillation of a spring/mass system is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

First, find the value of k:

F = kΔx

78 N = k (98 m)

k = 0.796 N/m

Next, find the mass of the unknown weight.

F = kΔx

m (9.8 m/s²) = (0.796 N/m) (67 m)

m = 5.44 kg

Finally, find the period.

T = 2π√(m/k)

T = 2π√(5.44 kg / 0.796 N/m)

T = 16.4287 s

A soccer player carries the ball for a distance of 40.0 m in the direction 42.0° west of south. find the westward component of t
Maksim231197 [3]

Actually what the problem meant about the westward component of the ball’s displacement is the horizontal component of the displacement. To help us better understand the problem, I attached a figure of the situation.

We can see from the figure that to solve for the value of the horizontal component, we have to make use of the sin function. That is:

sin θ = side opposite to the angle / hypotenuse of the triangle

sin 42 = x / 40 m

x = (40 m) sin 42

x = 26.77 m

 

Therefore the ball has a westward displacement of about 26.77 m

Which of the following improves your range of motion and helps prevent
erma4kov [3.2K]
A. A healthy body composition will improve range of motion and prevent injuries. Staying in a healthy weight range (BMI) prevents overexerting joints. It also helps increase range of motion which in turn reduces injury.
