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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

A train moves uniform velocity of 36km/h for 15 sec.find distance

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

S = V × t

Explanation:

first convert 36km/h to m/s

36km/h=36*5/18=180/18=10m/s

d =s*t

=10*10=100m

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?

viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

$\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}$

It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
It is represented by p.
It's SI unit is kg m/s
Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: $\boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}$

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

$\rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{p}{v} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{120.5}{5} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg$

$\therefore$ Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?

mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders several miles in length and several miles in diameter be placed in space and used

stepladder [879]

Answer:

the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that the expression for the linear acceleration in terms of angular velocity is;

$a_{c}$ = rω²

ω² = $a_{c}$ / r

ω = √( $a_{c}$ / r )

where r is the radius of the cylinder

ω is the angular velocity

given that; the centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity a $a_{c}$ = g = 9.8 m/s²

so, given that, diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m

Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m

so we substitute

ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )

ω = √0.002506477 s²

ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s

we know that; 1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute

ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM

ω = 0.478082 RPM

1 rpm = 60 rph

ω = 0.478082 × 60

ω = 28.6849 revolutions per hour

Therefore, the required revolution per hour is 28.6849
