Answer:

Fission is the process by which large nuclei (like Uranium) split apart releasing energy. Fusion is the joining of nuclei to make larger nuclei, with the release of energy. A ball of contracting interstellar gas becomes a star like the Sun when fusion reactions start in its center. Then, we say "a star is born."

Answer: When light element atoms are crushed under enough pressure for their nuclei to fuse, a star is formed. All stars are the consequence of a balance of forces: gravity compresses interstellar gas atoms until fusion reactions begin.

An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.28 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The value is $a = 4.0 \ m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity is $a = 120 \ km/h = [tex]\frac{120 * 1000}{3600} = 33.3 \ m/s$ [/tex]

The time taken is $t = 8.28 \ s$

The time taken for contact is $t_c = 0.815 \ s$

The velocity of the of the car after contact is $v_c = 71.0 \ km/h = [tex]\frac{71 *1000}{3600} = 19.7 2 \ m/s$ [/tex]

From the equation of kinematics we have that

$v = u + at$

Here u = 0 \ m/s since the car is initially motionless

=> $33.3 = 0 + a * 8.28$

=> $a = 4.0 \ m/s^2$

An object is dropped from rest from the top of a 400 m cliff on Earth. If air resistance is negligible, what is the distance the

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

176.58 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 6^2\\\Rightarrow s=176.58\ m$

The object travels 176.58 m from the cliff in 6 seconds.

Why doesn't electric current flow through rubber?

PolarNik [594]

Rubber is a insulator so current cannot pass through it where as metal is a conductor which allows current to pass through it

Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

In recent times of pandemic, robots can be use as replacement of labor in the industries. Mundane tasks can be programmed in their system so that they can used readily.

Drones can used delivery for essential goods and services, so that human interference can be least and the spread of virus can be curbed.

In a recent example, Argentina where aerial data has reportedly been used to accelerate the construction of emergency hospitals.
