If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules

of energy? ​

7 0

Answer:

a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

Explanation:

The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:

E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}

where,

m = mass required = ?

E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg</u>

9. When a balloon rises into the air, it
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Answer 3: When a balloon goes up higher in the air, its size will increase. Since there's less air in the upper atmosphere, there's less stuff pushing back on the balloon, and hence the pressure is lower, which allows the balloon to expand

Answer: C

Explanation:

As the balloon rises, the gas inside the balloon expands because the atmospheric pressure surrounding the balloon drops. The atmosphere is 100 to 200 times less dense at the float altitudes than on the ground. and as the air is heated inside the balloon it causes it to rise upwards (because it is lighter than the cooler air on the outside). When the pilot needs to bring the balloon down again, he simply reduces the temperature of the air inside the balloon causing it to slowly descend.

The specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g • °C. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 100 g of water by 5°C? *
Svetach [21]

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

The heat required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is its change in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have:

m = 100 g is its mass

C = 4.2 J/g • °C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T=5^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

So, the amount of heat needed is:

Q=(100)(4.2)(5)=2100 J
