<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>

You get a new pair of sunglasses as a birthday gift from a friend. When wrapping the present, your friend has removed the price
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Explanation:By using the sunglasses while looking at If your sunglasses are polarized, instead of only seeing the surface of a lake or river, you will suddenly be able to see through the glare and into the water below.

Another one is by comparing two sunglasses, hold your glasses and another one simultaneously and look through both pairs at the same time. Then, rotate one pair of sunglasses about 60 degrees. If both pairs of glasses are polarized, the overlapping area will darken as they filter out excess light. If your pair isn't polarized, however, you won't notice any difference.

Also it can be determined by simple computer test If you rotate your glasses sideways while looking at a computer monitor through polarized glasses, portions of your screen will become blank or go dark. The same also applicable to LCD display screens such as the ones on a gas pump.

Once​ Kate's kite reaches a height of 52 ft ​(above her​ hands), it rises no higher but drifts due east in a wind blowing 6 ft d
Andru [333]

Answer:

5.213ft

Explanation:

Z² = x² + y²

x = √(z² - y²)

y = 52ft, dx = 6ft, z = 105ft, dz = ?

d(z² = x² + y²)

2zdz = 2xdx

dz = xdx/z

But x = √(z² - y²)

dz = √(z² - y²)/z * dx

dz = [√(105² - 52²)/105] * 6

dz = √(8521)/ 17.5

dz = 5.213ft
