Sample Response: Some of the mass is converted to energy. The relative amounts of matter and energy stay the same.

The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

Consider the following three statements: For any electromagnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is a
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Statements (i) and (ii) are true.

Explanation:

<u>Fisrt statement:</u>

Electromagnetic radiation such as wave, wavelength λ and oscillation frequency ν are related by a constant, the speed of light. The equation is given by:

c= \lambda \nu

So the first statement is true.

<u>Second statement:</u>

c=\lambda \nu\\c= 3.0 A \times 1.0\times 10^{18} Hz\\c= 3.0\times 10^{-10} m  \times 1.0\times 10^{18} s^{-1}\\c=3\times 10^8 \frac{m}{s}

The value of c in the vacuum is 3×10⁸ m/s. Hence, the second statement is true.

<u>Third statement:</u>

The speed of any electromagnetic radiation is constant regardless the type of radiation.

Hence, the third statement is false.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A chair at rest on the floor has two forces acting on it its own weight that pulls it downward and the floor pushing upward on the chair, both of these forces are acting on it but the net force is 0, so the chair remains at rest and its velocity stays at 0.

Describe two sources of earth's energy that are not produced
Anvisha [2.4K]
Here is the answer. Two sources of Earth's energy that are not produced would be Cosmic rays and Tidal Energy. Cosmic rays <span>are high-energy protons and atomic nuclei that come from outside the solar system. Whereas, tidal energy is the energy produced by both the moon (2/3) and the sun (1/3). Hope this answers your question.</span>

The fulcrum of a first-class lever divides its 9.0 m arm into two sections—a 6.0 m arm and a 3.0 m arm. You place a rock weighin
nexus9112 [7]
For balancing the lever, force on both the sides shall be equal. so,
Force on 3 m end = m × a = 3 × 98.1 = 294.3

Now, on 6 m end, it would be: = 294.3/6 = 49.05
After rounding-off to the nearest hundredth value, it would be: 49 N

Finally, Option A would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!
