The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.

What is nuclear fusion?

When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.

It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.

The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

A bullet of mass m and speed v is fired at, hits and passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M on the end of a stiff ro
dexar [7]

Required value of initial speed of the bullet be ( 4M/m)√(gL).

Given parameters:

Mass of the bullet =m.

Mass of the bob of the pendulum = M.

speed of the bullet before collision = v

Speed of the bullet after collision = v/2.

Length of the pendulum stiff rod = L.

Let speed transmitted to the pendulum be u.

Using principle of conservation of momentum:

mv = Mu + mv/2

⇒ Mu = mv/2

⇒ u = (m/M)v/2

We know that: to make the bob over the top of the trajectory without falling backward in its circular path, required speed be = √(4gL). [ where g = acceleration due to gravity]

To be minimum initial speed the bullet must have in order for the pendulum bob to just barely swing through a complete vertical circle:

u = √(4gL)

⇒  (m/M)v/2 = √(4gL)

⇒ v =( 4M/m)√(gL).

Hence, minimum required  speed of the bullet be ( 4M/m)√(gL).

A 5,400 W motor is used to do work. If the motor is used for 640 s, about how much work could it do?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

3,500,000 J​

Explanation:

WORK = POWER * TIME

WORK= 5400 * 640

=6456000 J = 3,500,000 J​

klemol [59]

Answer:

3.62m/s and 2.83m/s

Explanation:

Apply conservation of momentum

For vertical component,

Pfy = Piy

m* Vof (sin38) - m*Vgf (sin52) = 0

Divide through by m

Vof(sin38) - Vgf(sin52) = 0

Vof(sin38) = Vgf(sin52)

Vof (sin38/sin52) = Vgf

0.7813Vof = Vgf

For horizontal component

Pxf= Pxi

m* Vof (cos38) - m*Vgf (cos52) = m*4.6

Divide through by m

Vof(cos38) + Vgf(cos52) = 4.6

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vof(cos38) + 0.7813 Vof(cos52) = 4.6

0.7880Vof + 0.4810Vof = 4.

1.269Vof = 4.6

Vof = 4.6/1.269

Vof = 3.62m/s

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vgf = 0.7813 * 3.62

Vgf = 2.83m/s
