The effect of the loss in mass of the nuclei by split of heavy atoms.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The loss of mass occurs in the nuclear reaction because some of the mass of the nuclei undergoes to change in energy.
When the heavy atom splits in the nuclear reaction, then the fragments move with high speed. The necessary energy for the movement of fragments obtained from the kinetic energy that converts from the mass of the heavy atom.
Conclusion:
Thus, the loss of the mass in the nuclei of heavy atom appears in the form of kinetic energy to move the fragments.
