B) The energy is proportional to the mass of the atom undergoing fission.
C) The energy is derived from the light that is emitted when the atom splits.
D) The energy equation does not apply towards fission, only fusion.

A certain meteoroid [a rock in space] has been moving through our solar system ever since the solar system was formed, 5 billion years ago. Suppose the meteoroid is far from all planets and stars, so that the effect of gravity is negligible
Neglecting gravity, is any physical work being done on the meteoroid? A) No, because the force of inertia on the meteoroid is balanced by the equal reaction force by the meteroid. B) Yes, because work is always required to move any massive object through a distance. C) No, because no forces are exerted on the meteoroid. D) Yes, because the force of inertia is exerted on the meteoroid while the meteoroid moves. E) Yes, because the meteoroid is moving.
