A) nucleus because some aims reflected off the gold foil proving that there was something bigger inside the atom hence discovering the nucleus
Answer:
Explanation:
Explain how a projectile might be modified to decrease the air resistance impacting its trajectory.
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.
What is nuclear fusion?
When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.
It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.
The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.
The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.
The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The kinetic energy of the cart is 24 J.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The acceleration of a given mass from rest to the velocity is known as kinetic energy. It gains energy from acceleration and remains in this state until the speed of the object changes.
The kinetic energy is the given by,
K.E = 1/2 mv^2
Given the mass m = 3 kg, v = 4 m / s.
K.E = 1/2 
3 (4)^2
K.E = 24 J.
