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!

A small, 3 kg weight is moved from 5 m from the ground to 8 m. What is the change in potential energy?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 88.2 J

Explanation: PE, OR Potential Energy, equals to mass gravity and height.

mass - 3kg

height - 3 because (8-5)

gravity is 9.8kg

so 3 times 3 times 9.8 = 88.2J

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 5.00 s, it rotates 13.9 rad. Du
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) Angular acceleration is 1.112 rad/s².

(b) Average angular velocity is 2.78 rad/s .

Explanation:

The equation of motion in Rotational kinematics is:

θ = θ₀ + 0.5αt²

Here θ is angular displacement at time t, θ₀ is angular displacement at time t=0, t is time and α is constant angular acceleration.

(a) According to the problem, θ is 13.9 rad, θ₀ is zero as it is at rest and t is 5 s. Put these values in the above equation:

13.9 = 0 + 0.5α(5)²

α = 1.112 rad/s²

(b) The equation of average angular velocity is:

ω = Δθ/Δt

ω = \frac{13.9}{5}

ω = 2.78 rad/s
