How are changes in energy and matter related

Physics
1 answer:
Svetlanka [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:

E=mc^2

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c is the speed of light (3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Given the huge value of c^2, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.

Equipotential surfaces a) make an angle of 45 degrees with the electric field. b) are parallel to the electric field. c) are per
Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

A 2.0 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a 15 N force at a constant velocity. What is the force of friction actin
lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.

The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.

The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.

Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.

The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The number of turns, N = 1750

Explanation:

It is given that,

The inner radius of a toroid, r = 12 cm

Outer radius, r' = 15 cm

The magnetic field at points within the coils 14 cm from its center is, B=3.75\ mT=3.75\times 10^{-3}\ T

R = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Current, I = 1.5 A

The formula for the magnetic field at some distance from its center is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o NI}{2\pi R}

N=\dfrac{2\pi R B}{\mu_o I}

N=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.14\times 3.75\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.5}

N = 1750

So, the number of turns must have in a toroidal solenoid is 1750. Hence, this is the required solution.
