Answer:

1.08 * 10^{14} J

Explanation:

Energy and mass are related by the famous equation developed by Albert Einstein:

E = mc^2

where m = mass and c = speed of light

This equation explains that an object with very small mass can produce a large amount of energy in reactions such as a nuclear reaction.

Hence, the energy produced by the explosion of a Plutonium bomb containing 3.6 grams of matter is:

E = 3.6 * 10^{-3} * (3 * 10^8)^2

E = 1.08 * 10^{14} J

Coulomb is a very large unit for practical use. Justify your answer if 10^10 electrons are transferred from a body/second
zlopas [31]
Given:

10^10 electrons per second

To justify that coulomb is a very large unit for practical use, we need to convert the quantity of electron given to Coulombs:

From literature, 

1 Coulomb is equivalent to 6.242×10^18 electrons<span>.

So,

= 10^10 electrons * (1 coulomb/</span><span>6.242×10^18</span> electrons) / second
<span>= 1.602 x 10^-9 coulumbs

This value is too small to be used in an actual setting.

A). No. Condensation happens when you take heat out of a gas.

b). No.  I'm not sure what transpiration is.

<u>c). Yes.</u> Evaporation happens when you add heat to a liquid.

d). No.  Sublimation sometimes happens when you add heat to a solid.

What is the velocity of a 50kg skater if her momentum is 225kg. m/s?
Gnom [1K]

|Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

225 kg-m/s =(50kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (50kg):  Speed=(225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s .

Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because
we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.
