Potential energy is in short, stored energy
Answer:
a) m = 993 g
b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
Explanation:
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794
4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176
we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602
difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158
fraction of mass lost =
= 0.00723
loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23
a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)
b) energy released in the process
E = m c²
E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²
E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Answer:
</h2>
The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:
(1)
Where:
is the gravity constant
the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting
the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).
Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>
In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.
I haven't worked on Part-A, and I don't happen to know the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
But whatever it is, it's exactly, precisely, identical, the same, and equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun.
I think that's the THIRD choice here, but I'm not sure of that either.
<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />
According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at
and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
