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.

Sanitation can be accomplished by all of the means except
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Air drying

Explanation:

Sanitation is the set of measures that aims to preserve or modify the conditions of the environment in order to prevent diseases and promote health, improve the quality of life of the population and the productivity of the individual and facilitate economic activity. Basic sanitation is a right guaranteed by the Constitution as the set of services, infrastructure and operational installations for water supply, sanitary sewage, urban cleaning, urban drainage, solid waste and rainwater management.

Sanitation can be carried out in several ways, except for dry air, as this would damage the quality of sanitation and the environment.

Sanitation is important in treated water, sewage collection and treatment services lead to an improvement in the quality of people's lives, especially in child health, with a reduction in child mortality, improvements in education, in the expansion of tourism, in the valuation of properties, in income of the worker, in the cleaning of rivers and preservation of water resources, etc.

A planet has a gravitational acceleration on its surface of 2.2 times Earth's gravitational acceleration on its surface. The pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The mass of the planet is 55 times the mass of earth.

Explanation:

From the inverse-square gravitation law,

F = (GMm/r²)

If the weight of a body (the force with which the earth attracts a body to its centre) is to be calculated,

F = mg

m = mass of the body,

g = acceleration due to gravity

mg = (GMm/r²)

G = Gravitational constant

M = mass of the earth

m = mass of body

r = distance between the body and the centre of the earth = radius of the earth

The acceleration due to gravity is given by

g = (GM/r²)

Making the mass of the earth, the subject of formula

M = (gr²/G) (eqn 1)

So, the planet described,

Let the acceleration due to gravity on the planet be g₁

Mass of the planet be M₁

Radius of the planet be r₁

g₁ = 2.2g

r₁ = 5r

M₁ = ?

Note that the gravitational constant is the same for both planets.

So, we can write a similar expression for the planet's acceleration due to gravity

g₁ = (GM₁/r₁²)

Substituting all the parameters known in terms of their corresponding earth values

2.2g = [GM₁/(5r)²]

2.2g = [GM₁/25r²]

M₁ = (55gr²/G)

Recall the expression for the mass of the earth

M = (gr²/G)

M₁ = 55 M

The mass of the planet, in terms of Earth masses = 55M

The mass of the planet is 55 times the planet of earth.

Hope this Helps!!!

enot [183]

Answer:

0.5747 or 57.4%

Explanation:

Your question is not complete so i will assume the right question goes thus;

A Carnot engine extracts 529 J of heat from a high-temperature reservoir during each cycle, and rejects 225 J of heat to a low-temperature reservoir during  the same cycle.  What is the efficiency of the engine?

Efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by [(Th-Tc) / Th]

using the formula above, the resulting equation will give us; (529-225)/529

=0.574669

Unpolarized light whose intensity is 1.46 W/m2 is incident on the polarizer in the drawing. (a) What is the intensity of the lig
Serhud [2]

Answer:

0.73 W/m²

0.2522 W/m²

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light = 1.46 W/m²

\theta = Analyzer angle = 54°

Light through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}\\\Rightarrow I_1=\frac{1.46}{2}\\\Rightarrow I_1=0.73\ W/m^2

The intensity of the light leaving the polarizer is 0.73 W/m²

After passing through analyzer

I=I_1cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I=0.73\times cos^2(54)\\\Rightarrow I=0.2522\ W/m^2

The intensity of the light that reaches the photocell is 0.2522 W/m²
