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.

The maximum height reached by the ball is 99.2 m

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown straight up, it follows a free fall motion, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground). Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

In this problem, we have:

u = 44.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

v = 0 is the final velocity when the ball reaches the maximum height

s is the maximum height

a=-g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward, so negative)

Solving for s, we find the maximum height reached by the ball:

s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}=-\frac{44.1^2}{2(-9.8)}=99.2 m

The block in the figure below has a mass of 5.1 kg and it rests on an incline of angle . You pull on the rope with a force F = 3
viktelen [127]

42.9°

Explanation:

Let's assume that the x-axis is aligned with the incline and the positive direction is up the incline. We can then apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

x:\;\;\;\;F - mg\sin{\theta} = 0\;\;\;\;

\Rightarrow mg\sin{\theta} = F

Note that the net force is zero because the block is moving with a constant speed when the angle of the incline is set at \theta. Solving for the angle, we get

\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{F}{mg}

or

\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{F}{mg}\right)

\;\;\;=  \sin^{-1}\left[\dfrac{34\:\text{N}}{(5.1\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}\right]

\;\;\;=42.9°

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?
spin [16.1K]
I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.
