Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The light and heat that we receive from the Sun is the result of nuclear fusion reactions, described by hydrogen nuclei that collide with each other, and fuse giving rise to a heavier nucleus of helium releasing a large amount of energy.

The energy released by these reactions travels to Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Have a nice day!

When the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between
mrs_skeptik [129]

The new gravitational attraction will be 1/4 as much

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, the original force between the two objects is F, when they are separated by a distance r.

Later, the distance between the two objects is doubled, so the new distance is

r'=2r

Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=\frac{F}{4}

Therefore, the new force will be one-fourth as much.

Please help!!!!
Dafna11 [192]

The intensity of the electric field is 30,000 N/C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by the equation

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have:

q=3\cdot 10^{-9}C is the magnitude of the charge

r = 3 cm = 0.03 m is the distance at which we are calculating the field intensity

Substituting, we find:

E=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{3\cdot 10^{-9}}{(0.03)^2}=30,000 N/C

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed
Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.
