The famous equation . . . E = m c² . . . doesn't say anything about where the mass comes from.

The total conversion of 1 kg of ANY mass into energy yields

(1kg) · (c²) Joules of energy.

E = (1 kg) · (c²) = (1 kg) · (299,792,458 m/s)²

<em>E = 8.9876 x 10¹⁶ Joules</em>

To put this in easily understood terms, it's the amount of energy required to keep a 100-watt light bulb shining for 10,402,259,010 days.

(That's about 28.5 million years, at the current length of days and years.)

In an experiment to measure the wavelength of light using a double slit, it is found that the fringes are too close together to

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

halve the slit separation

Explanation:

As we know that

In YDS experiment, the equation of fringe width is as follows

$\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

where,

D denotes the separation in the middle of screen and slits

d denotes the distance in the middle of two slits

And to increase the Δx we have to decrease the d i.e, the distance between the two slits

Hence, the first option is correct

What are the two forces that keep a pendulum swinging?

NemiM [27]

The correct answer would be the third option. The two forces that keep a pendulum swinging would be tension and gravity. The force of gravity causes the pendulum to keep it swinging and tension blocks all resistances in order for the motion to continue.
