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

If a FM radio station broadcasts at 80. 3 MHz (megahertz), what is its wavelength in m (speed of light 3. 0 x 108 m/s)
hammer [34]

Answer:

Wavelength = 3.74 m

Explanation:

In order to find wavelength in "metres", we must first convert megahertz to hertz.

1 MHz = 1 × 10⁶ Hz

80.3 Mhz = <em>x</em>

<em>x </em>= 80.3 × 1 × 10⁶ = 8.03 × 10⁷ Hz

The formula between wave speed, frequency and wavelength is:

v = fλ  [where v is wave speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength]

Reorganise the equation and make λ the subject.

λ = v ÷ f

λ = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (8.03 × 10⁷)

λ = 3.74 m [rounded to 3 significant figures]

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

How do gamma rays use electromagnetic waves to function....PLS HELP
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions.

Explanation:

Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.

Hope this helps!
