The mass of the parts is always ___ the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses.

1 answer:

6 0

When looking at nuclear masses we speak of the processes nuclear fision and nuclear fusion. In fission a nucleus breaks up, into two nuclei. In fusion on the other hand two light nuclei combine to form one heavier nucleus. The relation
E=m*c^2. explains the difference in masses. 
So, in case of nuclear fusion the mass of the parts is always more than the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses. In case of nuclear fusion. And in case of nuclear fision, the mass of the parts is always less than the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses. In case of nuclear fusion

Answer:

Option C

Maximum potential energy is at point R.

Explanation:

Potential energy is a product of mass, acceleration due to gravity and height ie

PE=mgh where PE is the potential energy, m is mass of an object, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is normally taken as 9.81 and h is height. Since at point R we have the maximum height, the potential energy will be highest at this point.

One acre is equal to 43560ft².How much is it in m²?

Goryan [66]

1 ft²= 0.09290304m²

so:

43560ft²= 0.09290304m²×43560

= 4,046.8564224 m²

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec

Anarel [89]

Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.
