<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted. </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>

An insulating sphere is 8.00 cm in diameter and carries a 6.50 ÂµC charge uniformly distributed throughout its interior volume.

Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

(a) Formula to calculate the density is as follows.

$\rho = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}$

= $\frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.04)^{3}}$

= $2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3}$

Now, calculate the charge as follows.

$q_{in} = \rho(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3})$

= $2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3} \times 4.1762 \times (0.01)^{3}$

= $10.106 \times 10^{-8}$ C

or, = 101.06 nC

(b) For r = 6.50 cm, the value of charge will be calculated as follows.

$q_{in} = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}$

= $\frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.065)^{3}}$

= 7.454 $\mu C$

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10

irina [24]

First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.
