Mirror: Reflects off of
Glass of water: Goes through
Dark Fabric: Absorbs into
Answer:
Because of the formula 
Explanation:
In this problem we are describing two different processes:
- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei
- Nuclear fusion occurs when two (or more) light nuclei fuse together producing a heavier nucleus
In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei.
According to Einsten's formula, this mass difference has been converted into energy, as follows:

where:
E is the energy released in the reaction
is the mass defect, the difference between the final total mass and the initial total mass
is the speed of light
From the formula, we see that the factor
is a very large number, therefore even if the mass defect
is very small, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission release huge amounts of energy.
The annual production of carbon dioxide is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg.
First we calculate the fuel consumed by each car in a year
Fuel consumed=6990/21.4=326.63 gallon
Now we calculate the amount of fuel consumed by 40 million cars in a year
Fuel consumed=326.63*40*10^6=13065.42 million gallon,
Now we can calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in the USA
CO2 production rate=9.50*13065.42=124121.49*10^6 kg
Therefore the annual production of carbon dioxide in USA is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg
