In a nuclear power plant, large amounts of energy are released when uranium is split into smaller elements. Also, the mass of the products is less than the mass of the original uranium. Where does the mass go? A. The mass is lost to the surrounding B. The mass goes into other elements not accounted for C. The mass is transformed into energy that is released. D. The mass of the original elements is converted into a new element.

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
