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.

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
hjlf

Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.

Which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force? (1 point)
Contact [7]

Answer:

Y

Explanation:

Y will produce the strongest magnetic force because the current intensity is medium and it has 50 turns in the wire. the number of turns will increase the force because the magnetic field will be more concentrated.

Have a great day :)

What causes the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum?
Snezhnost [94]
Base in your questions that ask what cause the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum and i think the best answer to that is the H2 gas is used when protons was heated so the electron absorb all the photons and get exited and resulted by given of a light.

Which of the following describes a concave mirror. Select all that apply. Objects within the focal length will create real image
ahrayia [7]
Let's see sentence-by-sentence:

<span>- Objects within the focal length will create real images. --> false
In fact, objects within the focal length create virtual images, as it can be seen in the ray diagrams here:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Concavemirror_raydiagram_F.svg

- Concave mirrors converge distant parallel light rays on the focal point. --> TRUE: the parallel rays (with respect to the mirror's axis) are reflected back into the focal point of the mirror, as it can be seen also from the previous picture.

- Concave mirrors can only create real images. --> FALSE: as it can be seen from the first picture, when the object is between the focus and the mirror, its image is virtual.

Concave mirrors can create real and virtual images. --> TRUE: concave mirrors can create real and virtual images, depending on the position of the object.

- Objects far away from concave mirrors will appear enlarged. --> FALSE:
as it can be seen from the ray diagram, the size of the image is smaller than the size of the object. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/Concavemirror_raydiagram_2F.svg

- Objects between the center of curvature and the focal point will create real images.--> TRUE: as it can be seen from the ray diagram (2F corresponds to the center of curvature), the image in this case is on the same side of the object, so it is real. </span>https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Concavemirror_raydiagram_2FE.svg
