<span>We need to calculate the number of seconds in one year. time = (365 days) (24 hours/day) (3600 seconds/hour) time = 31536000 seconds We can calculate the distance that light travels in this many seconds. distance = speed x time distance = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) (31536000 seconds) distance = 9.46 x 10^{15} meters A light year is 9.46 x 10^{15} meters</span>

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

|A| = √(Ax)^2 + (Ay)^2

|A| = √(7.6)^2 + (-6.4)^2

|A| = √98.72

|A| = 9.9

The energy released during a nuclear reaction is a result of
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

the conversion of matter into energy

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is a reaction in which there is a change in the nuclei of the atoms involved. The two most important examples of nuclear reactions are:

- Nuclear fission: it occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

- Nuclear fusion: it occurs when two lighter nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei: this means that part of the mass of the initial nuclei has been converted into energy, according to Einstein's formula:

E=\Delta m c^2

where \Delta m is the variation of mass and c is the speed of light. Since the value of c is very large, we can see from the formula that even a small amount of \Delta m is able to produce a huge amount of energy, and this is a typical feature of any nuclear reaction.
