To solve the problem, we can use the Einstein's famous equivalence between energy and mass:
E=mc^2
where 
E is the energy
m is the mass
c is the speed of light

In this problem, the mass of the substance is m=2.50 \cdot 10^{-3} kg, so if all this mass would be converted in energy, we would have an energy of
E=mc^2=(2.50 \cdot 10^{-3} kg)(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)^2=2.25 \cdot 10^{14} J

Wood is burning. *
xenn [34]

Answer:

It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at Figure 3.7.1 below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gases float off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Suppose you had measured the mass of the wood before it burned and the mass of the ashes after it burned. Also suppose you had been able to measure the oxygen used by the fire and the gases produced by the fire. What would you find? The total mass of matter after the fire would be the same as the total mass of matter before the fire.

An object falls freely from rest on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is it is on Earth. In the first 5 seconds it
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

A. The object falls a distance of 250 m

Explanation:

Hi there!

In the question, you have forgotten the acceleration due to gravity. However, looking on the web I´ve found a very similar problem in which the acceleration due to gravity was as twice as much as it is on Earth.

The equation of height of a falling object is the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the object after a time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (on Earth: ≅ -10 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Let´s place the origin of the system of reference at the point where the object is released so that y0 = 0. Since the object falls from rest, v0 = 0.

Then, the height of the object after 5 s will be :

y = 1/2 · 2 · g · t²    (notice that the acceleration due to gravity is 2 · g)

y = g · t²

y = -10 m/s² · (5 s)²

y = -250 m

The object falls a distance of 250 m.

Why does the output of a microphone increase as the frequency of the sound waves which it receives increases
Sloan [31]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The frequency of sound waves received by the microphone influences the output or pitch of the sound obtained from the microphone.

The higher the frequency of the sound received by the microphone, the higher the output of the microphone and vice versa. This is because, the higher the frequency of sound, the higher the oscillations produced and the greater the output of the microphone.

The rise and fall in the pitch of sound waves as the frequency of sound waves varies is called inflection.
