<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 3.526 MeV.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given nuclear reaction:

_{19}^{42}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{20}^{42}\textrm{Ca}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{e}

We are given:

Mass of _{19}^{42}\textrm{K} = 41.962403 u

Mass of _{20}^{42}\textrm{Ca} = 41.958618 u

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

\Delta m=\text{Mass of reactants}-\text{Mass of products}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=(41.962403-41.958618)=0.003785u

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

E=\Delta mc^2\\E=(0.003785u)\times c^2

E=(0.003785u)\times (931.5MeV) (Conversion factor: 1u=931.5MeV/c^2 )

E=3.526MeV

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 3.526 MeV.

Energy Conservation Theory,

<h3>What is law of  energy conservation?</h3>

The principle of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed.  It may change from one sort to another. Just like the mass conservation rule, the legitimacy of the preservation of energy depends on experimental perceptions; hence, it is an experimental law. The law of preservation of energy, too known as the primary law of thermodynamics

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to
Arisa [49]

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s
