Yes there is.

Momentum of an object is  (its mass) times (its speed) .

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

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.

As you read this in your chair, how fast are you moving relative to the chair? relative to the sun?
Oliga [24]
To answer this question, you need to know the definition of Relative Motion:
 The motion is relative when it depends on a reference point or referencial system. If you know the reference point, you can determine the velocity of an object.
 If you are sitting on your chair, you are not moving relative to it (Your speed is 0 km/s); but as you know, our planet moves around the Sun (Traslation Movement) with a speed of 30.0 km/s. Therefore, you are moving 30.0 km/s relative to the sun.

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle # with respect to each other. What shoul
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

63.4^{\circ}

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so

I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 (1)

where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.

When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle \theta with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is

I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta (2)

If we combine (1) and (2) together,

I_2 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta (3)

We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

I_2 = \frac{1}{10}I_0

So we can rewrite (3) as

\frac{1}{10}I_0 =  \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta

From which we find

cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{5}

cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}})=63.4^{\circ}
