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

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.816 kg

Explanation:

E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\

so m=\frac{2E_k}{v^2}=\frac{2\times500}{35^2}=0.816 kg

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
salantis [7]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.
