Answer:

The value is E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of matter converted to energy on first test is  m  =  1 \  g  = 0.001 \  kg

    The mass of matter converted to energy on second test m_1 =  1.5 \  g = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ kg

    Generally the amount of energy that was released by  the explosion is  mathematically  represented as  

         E =  m * c^2

=>       E =  1.5 *10^{-3}  * [ 3.0 *10^{8}]^2

=>       E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity
alexira [117]
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.

If a man weight 155 lb on earth, specify
Natali [406]
For the answer to the question above, on Earth, a one-pound object has a mass of about 0.453592 kilograms. 

<span>Therefore the man's mass is 155 * 0.453592 = 70.30676 kilograms. </span>

<span>The part about the Moon's gravity is irrelevant. While the weight of a person or object would be different on the Moon, the mass would be the same.</span>

If you fall and skid to a stop on a carpeted floor, you can get a rug burn. Much of this discomfort comes from abrasion,but ther
just olya [345]

Explanation:

When you run, your body has a kinetic energy  and when you fall while running, the friction between the carpet and your foot, transforms the kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat energy. This can even cause, real burn if the skin were too hot.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Ecliptic

Explanation:
