This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with E = m c² . But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
E = m c²
1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule = (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²
Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:
Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)
= (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)
= 1.144 x 10⁻³⁰ kg . (choice-1)
This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature. The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?
Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)
= (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules
= 7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .
How much converted mass is that ?
E = m c²
Divide each side by c² : Mass = E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)
= 0.786 kilogram ! ! !
THAT should impress us ! If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly (1 pound 11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

Correct answer choice is :
B) Upwarped
Explanation:
An upwarped mountain is a mountain consisting of a large area of the Earth's coat that has led smoothly upward without much visible deformation and normally including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are set down in layers called beds or layers. A bed is described as a layer of rock that has a similar lithology and character. Beds form by the removal of layers of sand on top of each other.
Answer:
At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop
Explanation:
The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s
To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g
we write out the equation of motion thus.
S = ut + 0.5at²
wgere
S = distance to come to complete stop
u = final velocoty = 0 m/s
a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81
t = time = 36 ms
as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus
S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m
At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop
Answer:
157.9 kg
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body and it's volume.
The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.
From the question,
Density = Mass/volume
D = m/v............................ Equation 1
Where D = Density of gold, m = mass of gold, v = volume of gold.
make m the subject of the equation
m = Dv.................... Equation 2
Since the gold is a cube,
v = l³................... Equation 3
Where l = length of the gold cube.
Substitute equation 3 into equation 2
m = Dl³............... Equation 4
Given: D = 19300 kg/m³, l = 0.2015 m
Substitute into equation 4
m = 19300(0.2015)³
m = 157.9 kg.
