The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.

rewona [7]

Answer:

86.4 m  horizontal from landing spot

Explanation:

Find out how long before the ball hits the ground

 vertical speed  of ball = -2  m/s     gravity = - 9.81 m/s^2

find time to hit ground from 100 m  

          ( height will be<u> zero</u> when it hits the ground)

<u>0 </u>=  100  - 2 t  - 1/2 ( 9.81) t^2

        use Quadratic Formula to find t = 4.32 seconds

              horizontal speed of ball = 20 m/s  

in 4.32 seconds it will travel horizontally   20  m/s * 4.32 s = 86.4 m

Why are eight electrons (four pairs) surrounding each non-hydrogen atom the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecule
rodikova [14]

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.

This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

Which one of the following types of electromagnetic wave travels through space the fastest?
Setler [38]

Answer:

As a result, light travels fastest in empty space, and travels slowest in solids. In glass, for example, light travels about 197,000 km/s.
