Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

Does the North Pole receive more daylight hours during Winter or Summer?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20 or 21 when the North Pole is tilted a full 23.5° toward the sun. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere has the most hours of daylight, while the Southern Hemisphere has the least hours of daylight.

Question 11

notka56 [123]

The volume of the gas once it reaches the surface of water is 2 liters.

The volume of the air in balloon at depth of 100ft (30m) is 500ml.

The pressure at this point is 4 atm.

Assuming that the balloon have no compression by rubber of balloon the volume of air at the water surface is V.

The pressure at the surface of water is 1 atms.

As we know, from the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

Where,

P is the Pressure of gas,

V is the volume of the gas,

n is the number of moles,

R is the gas constant whose value is 0.082057 L atm mol-1 K-1,

T is the temperature.

Assuming that the temperature is constant,

We know,

PV = nRT

All quantities on the right side are constants,

So, we can write,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Putting all the the values,

4(0.5) = 1V₂

V₂ = 2 Liters.

The volume of the air at the surface is 2 liters.

1 liter = 0.001 m

Hence,

2 liters = 0.002 m³

So the volume of air at the surface is 0.002m³.

Z. A force that gives a 8-kg objet an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2 would give a 2-kg object an

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D.\ 6.4\ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

We need to find the acceleration of the 2 kilogram object. Let's complete this in 2 steps.

<h3>1. Force of 1st Object </h3>

First, we can find the force of the first, 8 kilogram object.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F=m \times a$

The mass of the object is 8 kilograms and the acceleration is 1.6 meters per square second.

m= 8 kg
a= 1.6 m/s²

Substitute these values into the formula.

$F= 8 \ kg * 1.6 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 12.8 \ kg*m/s^2$

<h3>2. Acceleration of the 2nd Object </h3>

Now, use the force we just calculated to complete the second part of the problem. We use the same formula:

$F= m \times a$

This time, we know the force is 12.8 kilograms meters per square second and the mass is 2 kilograms.

F= 12.8 kg *m/s²
m= 2 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

$12.8 \ kg*m/s^2= 2 \ kg *a$

Since we are solving for the acceleration, we must isolate the variable (a). It is being multiplied by 2 kg. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 kg.

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}= \frac{2\ kg* a}{2 \ kg}$
