WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago

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.

What is the relationship between the masses of the objects and the gravitational force between them
irga5000 [103]

The relationship between the masses of the object and the gravitational force between them is a direct relationship

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by  the equation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

We observe that:

- The gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the two objects, m1 and m2, so if the masses increase, the force will increase as well (so, this is a direct relationship)

- The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the objects, so if the distance is increased, the force will decrease (so, this is an inverse relationship)

What is Acceleration?​
earnstyle [38]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

 

To define acceleration, We need to know more about motion.

Motion: This can be defined as the change in position of a body from one point to another. When an object accelerates, it undergoes motion.

<u>Definition</u>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is meter-per-squared seconds. (m/s²)

The formula of acceleration is

  • a = (v-u)/t................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • a = acceleration
  • u = initial velocity
  • v = final velocity
  • t = time

Hence, Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

1. The following can be inferred from Newton’s second law of motion except:
lora16 [44]

Answer: 1.d) The acceleration of an object is always less than the acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81m/s^-2)

2.a)acceleration decreases

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is defined by two variables which is the total force acting on the object and the mass of that object. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force that is applied on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of that object.

When the force applied on an object is increased so does the acceleration of an object however if the mass increase the acceleration decreases.

This can be felt when you look at the truck which usually carry heavy loads they seem to drive slow due to the load hence their acceleration is decreased by the mass that these truck carry .

What does a geneticist study?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Genetics is a branch of biology that studies the inheritance of physical and behavioural characteristics of living things, and how these traits are passed down through generations. Geneticists study genes and the science of heredity (inherited traits passed down through generations).
