The situation when nuclear fission occurs, some mass is lost is also called the mass defect and as a result the matter turns into energy. If you want to know where the mass does go Albert Einstein will be your helping hand : E = mc^2. Using this formulae you will solve the task and find out the direction of mass.

Answer:

Some of the mass is converted to energy. The relative amounts of matter and energy stay the same.

a length of wire is cut into five equal pieces. the five pieces are then connected in parallel, with the resulting resistance be

Natali [406]

The equivalent resistance of n resistors connected in parallel is given by
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+...+ \frac{1}{R_n}$ (1)

In our problem, the resulting resistance of the 5 pieces connected in parallel is $R_{Eq}=2.00 \Omega$ , and since the 5 pieces are identical, their resistance R is identical, so we can rewrite (1) as
$\frac{1}{R_{Eq} }= \frac{1}{2 \Omega}= \frac{1}{R}+ \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} = \frac{5}{R}$
From which we find $R= 5 \cdot 2 \Omega = 10 \Omega$ .

So, each piece of wire has a resistance of $10 \Omega$ . Before the wire was cut, the five pieces were connected as they were in series. The equivalent resistance of a series of n resistors is given by
$R_{Eq}=R_1 + R_2 + ...+R_n$
So if we apply it at our case, we have
$R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R=5 R= 5\cdot 10 \Omega= 50 \Omega$

therefore, the resistance of the original wire was $50 \Omega$ .
