Answer:
Explanation:
Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m
mass of the lamp = 3.8kg
acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²
As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.
Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height
Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81
Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules
b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²
m = mass of the body (in kg)
v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)
To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion
Since mass = 3.8kg
c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s
Explanation:
Nuclear reactions are the reactions in which nucleus of an atom changes either by splitting or joining with the nucleus of another atom.
There are two types of nuclear reactions.
- Nuclear fission - In this process, large atomic nuclei splits into smaller nuclei.
- Nuclear fusion - In this process, two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei.
Both nuclear fission and fusion processes involve nuclei of atoms.
For example,
Thus, we can conclude that statements which are true are as follows.
- Nuclear reactions involve the nuclei of atoms.
- The products of nuclear reactions are lighter than the reactants.
