Answer:

0.002372187708 kg

Explanation:

Each atom of Uranium 235 releases 200 MeV = 200×10⁶×1.60218×10⁻¹⁹

= 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³ Joule

Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = (2.6/0.235)×6.02214076×10²³

⇒Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = 66.627×10²³ atoms

Change in energy = Change in mass / (speed of light)²

ΔE = Δmc²

⇒200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³ = Δm×(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³/(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 2372.187708×10⁻⁶ kg

∴Change in mass = 0.002372187708 kg

When driving on a multilane street with two way traffic:?
koban [17]
When driving on multilane street with two way traffic, the best response to this scenario is to drive ahead but if there are vehicles in front of you, it is also best to drive along behind the multilane vehicles. It is not best to over take or to consume the middle lane because it is a multilane street. In which there are only two lanes and over taking it could cause accidents when not careful, and consuming up the middle is not appropriate to take because the lane is for two lanes.

Fifteen identical particles have various speeds: one has a speed of 2.00 m/s, two have speeds of 3.00 m/s, three have speeds of
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)  V=7.5m/s

b) rms=8.4m/s

c) Generally the most probable speed is 8m/s as it the most posses by particles being the average

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size N=15

  Speed 1 v_1=2m/s\\\\Speed 2 v_2=3m/s\\\\Speed 3 v_2=5m/s\\\\Speed 4 v_4=8m/s\\\\Speed 3 v_5=9m/s\\\\Speed 2 v_6=15m/s\\\\

Generally the equation for Average speed is mathematically given by

 V_{avg}=\frac{\sum(nv)}{N}

Therefore

 V_{avg}=\frac{(2+2(3)+3(5)+4(8)+3(9)+2(15))}{15}

 V=7.5m/s

b)

Generally the equation for RMS speed of the particle is mathematically given by

  rms=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(nv^2)}{N}}

  rms=\sqrt{\frac{2^2+2(3)^2+3(5)^2+4(8)^2+3(9)^2+2(15)^2}{15}}

  rms=\sqrt{69.73}

  rms=8.4m/s

c

Generally the most probable speed is 8m/s as it the most posses by particles being the average

Which hormone is released in response to daily variations in light and tends to rise as night falls, peaks at midnight, and fall
hram777 [196]
Melatonin is a hormone being produced by small gland in the brain called pineal gland that helps control sleep and wake cycles. It is also called the sleep hormone because it gives signal that it’s time to sleep. People also used this hormone to adjust the body’s internal clock. It is the hormone that released in response to exposure to sunlight. When the sun sets and night falls, the pineal is activated and begins to vigorously produce melatonin. The amount of melatonin tends to rise as night falls, peaks at midnight, and falls again as the sun rises. It means that it produced more when darker and when the lighter it is; the less melatonin is produced.

What is the difference between current electricity and static electricity
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The most significant difference between the static and current electricity is that in static electricity the charges are at rest and they are accumulating on the surface of the insulator. Whereas in current electricity the electrons are moving inside the conductor.
