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

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:

$\boxed{\text{\sf \Large 3.0 s}}$

Explanation:

Use distance formula

$\displaystyle d=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$u= \text{\sf initial velocity}\\d= \text{\sf distance}\\a= \text{\sf acceleration}\\t= \text{\sf time taken}$

$\displaystyle 18=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^2$

$t=3$

How do iquantum tunel through a wall and how long will it take me?

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The phenomenon known as "tunneling" is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have to have a relatively high energy to enter, classical reasoning tells us that low-energy particles heading toward that region should reflect off the boundary with 100% probability. Instead, there is a tiny chance of finding those particles on the far side of the region, with no loss of energy. It's as if they simply evaded the "barrier" region by making a "tunnel" through it.
