For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

E = 174.6 MeV

Explanation:

As we know that energy corresponding to the 1 amu mass is given as

E = mc^2

if m = 1 amu

we have

E = 931.5 MeV

so we will have

mass = 0.187456 amu

E = (0.187456)(931.5)

E = 174.6 MeV

Supposing you were in space..in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion? Explain..
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Yes, a force is require to set an object in motion.

Explanation:

  • In space, even if you feel weightless, you are subject to motion. If you are orbiting the Earth, you are under the constant influence of Earth having a free-fall acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration.
  • To disturb this orbital motion, an external force is required.
  • According to Newton's laws of motion, a force is required to change the state of the rest of a body or to change the velocity or direction if it is moving with uniform velocity along a straight line.
  • Whenever there is a change in velocity or direction of a body there is a force acting on it.

Which equations represent the relationship between wavelength and frequency for a sounds wave
ioda

   

Waves can be described using a number of different characteristics of a wave. Wavelength and frequency are two such characteristics. The relationship between wavelength and frequency is that the frequency of a wave multiplied by its wavelength gives the speed of the wave

Choose all the answers that apply. The continents _____. were once connected have always been in the same location are slowly dr
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: the correct options are

- were once connected

- are slowly drifting

Explanation: The continent is the main land mass of the earth which includes the following:

- Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, North America, South America, and Antarctica.

These continents were once connected forming a supercontinent called PANGAEA

during the late palaeozoic and early mesozoic eras, millions of years ago.

Alfred Wegener, who is a German meteorologist, in 1912 came up with a hypothesis that the continents are slowly drifting the earth. He called the movement continental drift.

The continents rest on massive slabs of rock called tectonic plates. The plates are always moving and interacting in a process called plate tectonics. In recent studies, through the science of plate tectonics, we where able to understand the mechanism through which continental drift occurs. The mechanism includes:

- processes of seafloor spreading,

- rift valley formation, and

- subduction (where heavier tectonic plates sink beneath lighter ones).
