Which quantity can be calculated using the equation E = mc2?

The correct answer is


A: the energy needed to split an atom into separate protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Explanation:


Whenever an atom is split, mass is lost (or converted to energy). Subatomic particles can be broken into smaller subatomic particles. The amount of energy released is equal to the amount of mass converted times the speed of light squared. This is summed up in Einstein's equation E=mc2.


This equation appeared in the report, prepared for the US government in 1945 during the second world war to make an atomic bomb that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[ E=mc² ] is not the way to calculate any of those choices.

If there's any "missing mass" after any of those things has happened,
then [ E=mc² ] tells you how much energy the mass has become, and
accounts for the missing mass in that way.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Frequency.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

The pitch of a sound you hear depends on the frequency of the sound wave.

A long solenoid has a radius of 2.0 cm and has 700 turns/m. If the current in the solenoid is decreasing at the rate of 8.0 A/s,
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the induced electric field at a point 2.5 cm from the axis of the solenoid is 8.8 x 10⁻⁵ V/m

Explanation:

given information:

radius, r = 2.0 cm

N = 700 turns/m

decreasing rate, dI/dt = 9.0 A/s

the magnitude of the induced electric field at a point 2.5 cm (r = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m) from the axis of the solenoid?

the magnetic field at the center of solenoid

B = μ₀nI

where

B = magnetic field (T)

μ₀ = permeability (1.26× 10⁻⁶ T.m/A)

n = the number turn per unit length (turn/m)

I = current (A)

dB/dt = μ₀n dI/dt                                           (1)

now we calculate the induced electric field by using

E = \frac{1}{2}r\frac{dB}{dt}  

\frac{dB}{dt} = 2E/r                                                     (2)

where

E = the induced electric field (V/m)

we substitute the firs and second equation, thus

dB/dt = μ₀n dI/dt  

2E/r = μ₀n dI/dt  

E = (1/2) r μ₀n dI/dt

  = (1/2) (0.025) (1.26× 10⁻⁶) (700) (8)

  = 8.8 x 10⁻⁵ V/m

A 10-kg rock and 20-kg rock are dropped from the same height and experience no significant air resistance. if it takes the 20-kg
bulgar [2K]
<span>Mass of rock 1 is m1 = 10 kg Mass of rock 2 is m2 = 20 kg 10-kg rock takes T (the same time ) to reach the ground as similar to 20-kg rock that takes time T to reach the ground. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube. When air resistance plays a role, the shape of the object becomes important. THUS 10-KG & 20-KG ROCK reaches the ground in T-time</span>

P-weight blocks D and E are connected by the rope which passes through pulley B and are supported by the isorectangular prism ar
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

21.8°

Explanation:

Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.

Draw a free body diagram for each block.

There are 4 forces acting on block D:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,

Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,

and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.

There are 4 forces acting on block E:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,

Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,

and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.

Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₁ − P sin θ = 0

N₁ = P sin θ

Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0

T = P cos θ − N₁μ

T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ

T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)

Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₂ − P cos θ = 0

N₂ = P cos θ

Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0

T = N₂μ + P sin θ

T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ

T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

Set equal:

P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ

1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)

tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)

Plug in values:

tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)

θ = 23.2°

∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.
