Answer:

The law of conservation of matter (or mass), also known as the Law of Lomonosov-Lavoisier, states the following:

"In a chemical reaction the sum of the mass of the reactants is equal to the sum of the mass of the products." 

Hence the famous phrase:

"The mass is not created or destroyed, it only transforms."

This was raised by the Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov in 1748 and independently discovered years later by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1785.

It should be noted that this principle is quite accurate for low-energy chemical reactions, but for nuclear reactions (collisions between particles at high energies), this classical definition does not apply (the total mass of the system does not have to be strictly conserved) and must be taken into account the equivalence between mass and energy that was postulated in Albert Einstein's theory of relativity:

"The amount of mass-energy that manifests a certain space-time is constant throughout the universe."

Being this expressed mathematically by his famous equation where he relates the energy $E$ with the mass $m$ and the speed of light $c$ :

$E=mc^{2}$

A bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m s -2 for 2 minutes. Find (a) the speed acquired, (b) the dis

KiRa [710]

Answer:

S=720m anf vf=12m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=a=0.1m/s²

time taken=t=2minutes=2×60=120seconds

vi=0m/s

vf=?

distance covered=S=?

by using second equation of motion

S=vit+1/2at²

S=0m/s×120seconds+1/2(0.1m/s²)(120s)²

S=0m/s+1/2×1440m

S=720m

and now we have to find the vf

vf=vi+at

vf=0m/s+(0.1m/s)(120s)

vf=12m/s

PE (potential energy) + KE (kinetic energy) will equal ME (mechanical energy) ... explain this in your own words, or by using an

sdas [7]

Answer:

Potential energy plus kinetic energy equals mechanical energy because mechanical energy is basically just all of an object's energy, it's just two kinds of energy. The potential is stored inside and kinetic is being used. Both of those together is the total amount of the objects energy, which is the mechanical energy.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Where

$\phi$ is magnetic flux

So,

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V$

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.
