Answer:
option a.
Explanation:
We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.
We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.
So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.
Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u
Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u
(where u = atomic mass unit)
Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:
A*1u = A atomic mass units.
Then the correct option is:
The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.
option a.
They both involve atoms. Other than that they're the exact opposite of each other. Fusion is putting atoms together. Fission is taking them apart.
Answer:
(a) gravitational potential energy converted to kinetic energy
(b) chemical energy is converted to light or heat energy
(c) mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy
