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.

Sarah invested 12000 in a unit trust 5 years ago, the value of the unit trust has increased by 7% per annum for the last 3 years
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The value of the fund today is $13831.72

Explanation:

Let us calculate the value at the end of each year, step by step. An annual  decrease of 3% corresponds to a multiplier 1.0-0.03 = 0.97. An increase of 7% corresponds to 1.07.

Value at the end of

year 1: 12000 * 0.97

year 2: 12000 * 0.97 * 0.97

year 3: 12000 * 0.97 * 0.97 * 1.07

year 4: 12000 * 0.97 * 0.97 * 1.07 * 1.07  

year 5: 12000 * 0.97 * 0.97 * 1.07 * 1.07 * 1.07 = 13831.72

The value of the fund today (end of year 5) is $13831.72

Suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the Moon is 12,900 kg. The thrust of its engines is
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Acceleration a=0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=12,900 kg=1.29×10⁴kg

Thrust of engine F=28,000 N=2.8×10⁴N

gravitational acceleration g=1.67 m/s²

To find

Acceleration

Solution

As we know  that

W_{weigth}=mg\\ W=(1.29*10^{4}kg )(1.67m/s^{2} )\\W=21543N

The net force can be given as

F_{net}=F_{thrust}-W\\F_{net}=(2.8*10^{4}-21543)N\\   F_{net}=6457 N

From Newtons second law of motion we know that

F=ma\\a=F/m\\a=\frac{6457N}{12,900kg}\\ a=0.5m/s^{2}
