Answer:3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

What is the decrease in mass, delta mass Xe , of the xenon nucleus as a result of this deca

We have been given the wavelength of the gamma ray, find the frequency using c = freq*wavelength.

C=f*lambda

3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12

F=0.87*10^20 hz

Then with the frequency, find the energy emitted using equation

E=hf E = freq*Plank's constant

E=.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34

E=575.94*10^(-16)

With this energy, convert into MeV from joules.

With the energy in MeV, use E=mc^2 using c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u.

Plugging and computing all necessary numbers gives you

3.87*10^-4 u.

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

The time delay between transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of a signal using ultrasound traveling through a piece
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

10.01 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The time delay between transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of a signal using ultrasound traveling through a piece of fat tissue was 0.13 ms.

The average propagation speed for sound in body tissue is 1540 m/s.

We need to find the depth when the reflection occur. We know that, the distance is double when transmitting and arriving. So,

v=\dfrac{2d}{t}\\\\d=\dfrac{vt}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1540\times 0.13\times 10^{-3}}{2}\\\\d= $$0.1001\ m

or

d = 10.01 cm

So, the reflection will occur at 10.01 cm.

What is the total number of pounds of carbon dioxide that 2 trees remove from the air each<br> year?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

On average, one acre of new forest can sequester about 2.5 tons of carbon annually. Young trees absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds per tree each year. Trees reach their most productive stage of carbon storage at about 10 years at which point they are estimated to absorb 48 pounds of CO2 per year.

What humidity reading would be the driest?
Lunna [17]
The weather report never tells the "humidity" of the air.  It tells the
"RELATIVE humidity".  That's the percent of the moisture the air
COULD hold at the current temperature that it's actually holding
right now.

If the air is completely dry, then it's holding NONE of the moisture
that it COULD hold, and the relative humidity is zero percent.
