This happens at Sun 's inside

The process is called fusion

This denotes to

When two hydrogen nucleus combine to form a single helium nucleus.

It releases lots of solar energy which can be used to create electricity

Difference between relaxation time and collision time?

Black_prince [1.1K]

For the answer to the question above, let us first start with relaxation time. it is the absence of an external electric field, the free electrons in a metallic substance will move in random directions so that the resultant velocity of free electrons in any direction is equal to zero. While the Collision time it is<span> the mean </span>time<span> required for the direction of motion of an individual type particle to deviate through approximately as a consequence of </span>collisions<span> with particles of type.</span>

What happens to ar object in free fall?

Inessa05 [86]

Energy from the gravitational potential store in converted to kinetic energy. Air friction acts against the object, dissipating some energy as heat or sound. The object will continuously accelerate until the acceleration is equal to the air friction acting against it. This is when it reaches terminal velocity

the average american receives 2.28 mSv dose equivalent from radon each year. Assuming you receive this dose, and it all comes fr

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The approximate number of decays this represent is $N= 23*10^{10}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of Radiation received by an average american is $I_a = 2.28 \ mSv$

The source of the radiation is $S = 5.49 MeV \ alpha \ particle$

Generally

$1 \ J/kg = 1000 mSv$

Therefore $2.28 \ mSv = \frac{2.28}{1000} = 2.28 *10^{-3} J/kg$

Also $1eV = 1.602 *10^{-19}J$

Therefore $2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} = 2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} * \frac{1ev}{1.602*10^{-19} J} = 1.43*10^{16} ev/kg$

An Average american weighs 88.7 kg

The total energy received is mathematically evaluated as

$1 kg ------> 1.423*10^{16}ev \\88.7kg --------> x$

Cross-multiplying and making x the subject

$x = 88.7 * 1.423*10^{16} eV$

$x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

Therefore the total energy deposited is $x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

The approximate number of decays this represent is mathematically evaluated as

N = $\frac{x}{S}$

Where n is the approximate number of decay

Substituting values

$N = \frac{126 .2*10^{16}}{5.49*10^6}$

$N= 23*10^{10}$

You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

= $mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N$

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).
