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.

A car is pulled with a force of 10,000 N. The car's mass is 1267 kg. But, the car covers 394.6 m in 15 seconds
Rasek [7]

F=m*a=>a=F/m=10000/1267=7.89 m/s²

d=v₀t+a't²/2<=>394.6=112.5*a'=>a'=3.5

a-a'=7.89-3.5=4.39 m/s²

This difference causes friction forces

We apply the second principle of dynamics: vector: F + N + G + Ff = ma (vector vectors, I can not here)

Scalar: Ox: F-Ff = ma

            Oy N-mg = 0

Ff = -ma+ F =-1267*7.89+10000=-8869+10000=1131 N

This frictional force (Ff) is opposite to the traction (F)

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards
quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,
