<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>

A stone that starts at rest free falls for 7.0 s. How far does the stone fall in this time?

vredina [299]

Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s

a=9.8 m/s
t=7s

a = d/t^2

therefore:

d = a * t^2

d = 9.8 * 7^2

d = 9.8 * 49

d = 480.2 [m]

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv

kow [346]

Answer:

1.122 m/s

Explanation:

So usually a river with a speed of 1 meters per second can transport particle that weighs:

$1^6 = 1 kg$

If the particle is twice as massive as usual, then its weights would be 1 * 2 = 2kg

This means the river must be flowing at a speed of

$2^{\frac{1}{6}} = 1.122 m/s$

balu736 [363]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to momentum, momentum and Force. Mathematically the Impulse can be described as

$I = F*t$

Where,

F= Force

t= time

At the same time the moment can be described as a function of mass and velocity, that is

$P = m\Delta v \rightarrow P=m(v_1-v_2)$

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

From equilibrium the impulse is equal to the momentum, therefore

$I = p$

$Ft = m(v_1-v_2)$

PART A) Since the body ends at rest, we have the final speed is zero, so the momentum would be

$p=m(v_1-v_2)$

$p = 75*0.15$

$p = 1125Kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore the magnitude of the person's impulse is 1125Kg.m/s

PART B) From the equation obtained previously we have that the Force would be:

$Ft = m(v_1-v_2)$

$F(0.025)= 1125$

$F= 45000N$

Therefore the magnitude of the average force the airbag exerts on the person is 45000N

What is the energy of a photon whose frequency is 6.0 x 10^20?

omeli [17]

Answer:

3.75 MeV

Explanation:

The energy of the photon can be given in terms of frequency as:

E = h * f

Where h = Planck's constant

The frequency of the photon is 6 * 10^20 Hz.

The energy (in Joules) is:

E = 6.63 x10^(-34) * 6 * 10^(20)

E = 39.78 * 10^(-14) J = 3.978 * 10^(-13) J

We are given that:

1 eV = 1.06 * 10^(-19) Joules

This means that 1 Joule will be:

1 J = 1 / (1.06 * 10^(-19)

1 J = 9.434 * 10^(18) eV

=> 3.978 * 10^(-13) J = 3.978 * 10^(-13) * 9.434 * 10^(18) = 3.75 * 10^(6) eV

This is the same as 3.75 MeV.

The correct answer is not in the options, but the closest to it is option C.
