Since nuclear fusion in the sun creates energy from matter, why doesn't it violate the law of conservation of energy?

Since nuclear fusion in the sun creates energy from matter, Einstein's formula E=mc² states that matter and energy are equal.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the nuclear fusion.

<h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>
  • We are aware that the sun can achieve nuclear fusion by the fusion of hydrogen atoms.
  • These atoms need to get closer to one another in order to fuse.
  • Since both protons inside each nucleus are positively charged, they attempt to repel one another as they get closer to one another.
  • If this issue cannot be solved, nuclear fusion in the sun cannot occur.

Thus, we can conclude that, since nuclear fusion in the sun creates energy from matter, Einstein's formula E=mc² states that matter and energy are equal.

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler
lbvjy [14]
In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
\sum F = ma
W-W'=ma
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

Laney et al. (false memory):(a) Outline the rating scale used in the Food History Inventory [2 marks]
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: The rating scale that is used in food history inventory is from 1 to 8.

Explanation:

In this case the participants have to rate 24 items on a scale of 1 to 8.There are variety of questions related to food or fooding habits.

The questions like do you go out for food?

Do you like bread ? if yes how will you rate it on a scale of 1 to 8.

The questions like this has to be answered in a way . It is done in order to see the preferences and false memory  regarding the food preference that people have.

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States
xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.

What is the average velocity of a car starting from 0 and travels 7 meters in 9 seconds?
Leni [432]

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Averge velocity formula=  Total distance travelled / total time taken.

Total distance=7meters

Total time taken=9 seconds.

Average velocity = 7/9= 0.77 metres/second

Average velocity= 0.77m/s

Thank you.
