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.

Two resistors A and B are arranged in series in one branch of a parallel arrangement. The other branch contains a single resisto
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A and B are in series , Total resistance = Ra + Rb

This resistance is in parallel with single resistor C

Equivalent resistance Re = Rc x ( Ra + Rb ) / [Rc + ( Ra + Rb )]

Now this combination is in series in single resistance D .

Total resistance = Rd + Re

= Rd + { Rc x ( Ra + Rb ) / [Rc + ( Ra + Rb )] }

What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains 2 electrons?
Alex_Xolod [135]
If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.

A massless string connects a 10.00 kg mass to a 13.00 kg cart which is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass ha
ch4aika [34]

The cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration of the cart</h3>

The acceleration of the cart is determined from the net force acting on the mass-cart system.

Upward force = Downward force

ma = mg

13a = 10(9.8)

13a = 98

a = 98/13

a = 7.54 m/s²

Thus, the cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².
