In the early 1900s, it was proposed that the law of conservation of mass should be simultaneously considered with the law of con

servation of energy to explain particular phenomena. Thus, a theory of conservation of mass-energy was proposed. Which of the following reasons could provide evidence to support the proposed theory?
A. After charged particles travel a complete loop around a circuit, the electric potential energy of the charged particles does not change, but the number of available charged particles that can move through the circuit is reduced. This is because charged particles are used in order for circuit elements to operate correctly.
B. After a photon of light is absorbed by certain metals, electrons are found to be ejected from the metals. This is because the energy contained in the massless photon is used to eject an electron with mass out of the metal.
C. After particles of a hot gas collide with other particles in the gas, the initial combined mass of all particles of the gas immediately before the collisions occur is not equal to the final combined mass of all particles immediately after the collisions. This is because some of the particles in the gas are destroyed in the collisions.
D. After the decay of certain unstable nuclei, the initial mechanical energy of an unstable nucleus is not equal to the final mechanical energy of the resultant particles immediately after the decay process. This is because some of the available mechanical energy is converted into a particle that was originally not accounted for.

Answer:

B. After a photon of light is absorbed by certain metals, electrons are found to be ejected from the metals. This is because the energy contained in the massless photon is used to eject an electron with mass out of the metal.

Explanation:

Before, in the early days, it was proposed to form a combined theory by joining the theory of conservation of mass and the theory of conservation of energy and form a combined theory of conservation of mass-energy. It was done to explain a particular theory of $\text{photoelectric effect}$.

The $\text{photoelectric effect}$ is the emission of the electrons form the surface of a metal when light energy strikes on it. Here, in this phenomenon, both mass and energy is conserved.

When the light strikes a metal surface, electrons gets ejected from the surface. The energy of the photon is used to eject the electron form the metal surface.

How far did a frog jump if he travels at a rate of 2.1 m/s for 10 seconds?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

The frog in this problem has a speed of

v = 2.1 m/s

and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is

d=(2.1)(10)=21 m

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

- Elevated temperatures.

- Elevated pressures.

Explanation:

In the manufacture of plastic products are used:

Raw material (pellets) which are the monomers that promote the chemical reaction.

To these are added the charges, in order to reduce the cost of the final product and improve some properties. These charges can be fiberglass, paper, metal structures.

Additives are also added whose mission is to improve or achieve certain properties, such as reducing friction, reducing chemical degradation, increasing electrical conductivity, coloring the product, and all this happens in the presence of a catalyst that is responsible for initiating and accelerating the chemical reaction process.

There are different methods of production of plastics, one of the most frequent is by injection.

Injection is a process that is carried out on machines similar to extrusion machines, in which the spindle, in addition to rotating, has an axial displacement.

In the injection, once the mold is filled, it is separated from the nozzle of the machine, breaking the feed channel. After a certain time, the piece already cooled is demoulded.

High pressures and temperatures are necessary, but parts of good finish and at high production speeds are obtained

A rolling ball will eventually stop rolling. Which describes one reason why this happens?
Nata [24]
B is the correct answer.

A is incorrect because energy is neither created nor destroyed.

C is incorrect because kinetic energy would keep the ball rolling, so that would not make sense.
