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.

-- 'Ca' (Calcium) is an element.
-- The proton has a positive charge.
-- Nuclear fusion results in the synthesis of atoms of new elements.
-- H₂O (water) is a chemical compound. 
-- Nuclear fission is a decay of the nucleus.
-- The atomic number of an element is the number of protons 
      in each atom of it.
-- I suppose you're using the Greek letter  <span>η  ('eta', not 'nu')

In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode will fail is 0.01. Suppose a circuit board contain
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 2 diodes

Explanation:

Given : In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode will fail is 0.01.

The number of diodes contained by circuit board = 200

Then , the expected number of diodes to fail is given by :-

0.01\times200=2

Therefore, there are 2 diodes that we will expect to fail.

Summarize the Venn diagram.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

If this is a multiple choice question, then the answer is D.

Explanation:

Compounds are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles and consist of matter. Since they are composed of atoms rather than vice-versa, compounds cannot be found inside atoms and are not the most basic form of matter (ruling out A and C). A pure substance contains atoms, which are each composed of subatomic particles. Therefore, a pure substance must have atoms if it contains subatomic particles (ruling out B). The only answer left is D.

Answer: p= m/v so 90kg/.075m^3 = 1,200

2a. .35 m 1.1 m and .015 m

2b. 35 cm x 110 cm x 1.5 cm = 5,775 cm^3 = 57.75 m^3

mass= pv

2700•57.75= 155,925 kg

mass= 155,925 kg

volume= 57.75 m^3
