Answer:

<em>The energy source that powers my home is gotten from burning of fossil fuels.</em>

<em>No! I do not like this energy source.</em>

<em>I personally would prefer solar source of electricity</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels are fuels gotten from the decomposition of dead organisms over time, under intense heat and pressure</em>. They are usually found buried beneath the earth's crust where they have been formed and trapped.

Most electricity generating stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline to generate electricity. <em>The problem with fossil fuels are the various part that they play in increasing carbon footprints in the atmosphere. The excess carbon in the atmosphere has been a major contributor to the global warming of planet Earth.  </em>

My preference for solar energy source is first due to its abundance unlike the fossil fuels that are already diminishing in storage beneath the earth's crust. Also, <em>solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not leave any damage on earth from its use</em>. It also promises to be a cheap source of power in the future with advances in solar technologies.

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go
horrorfan [7]
The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

Ne4ueva [31]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

-The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

-The total momentum of any number of particles is equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the individual particles.

-The vector sum of forces acting on a particle equals the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Momentum is a vector quantity, and therefore we need to use vector addition when summing together the momenta of the multiple bodies which make up a system.
  • The vector sum of forces acting on a particle is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time. This is according to the Newton's second Law of motion. In mathematical terms, ֿF = d ֿp/dt, that is F= ma.
  • According to the Law of conservation of Momentum, or a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.
