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!

The speed of a transverse wave on a string is 450 m/s, and the wavelength is 0.19 m. The amplitude of the wave is 1.6 mm. How mu
tigry1 [53]

Answer: 2.22s

Explanation: wave speed = 450 m/s, A = amplitude = 1.6mm, λ= wavelength = 0.19m

Wave speed = distance traveled / time taken

Distance traveled = 1km = 1000 m

450 = 1000/ t

t = 1000/ 450 = 2.22s

A wheel of diameter 78 cm has an axle of diameter 14.8 cm. A force 150 N is exerted along the rim of the wheel.What force should
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

F = 263.51 N

Explanation:

given,

diameter of wheel = 78 cm

diameter of axle = 14.8 cm

Force exerted on the rim of wheel = 150 N

Force applied outside the axle = ?

To prevent rotation wheel from rotating the Force 'F' should be applied outside of the axle.

Net momentum about the center of mass should be zero

now,

Moment of about center due to 150 N = moment about center due to F on axle

50\times \dfrac{78}{2}=F\times \dfrac{14.8}{2}

           7.4 F = 1950

                F = 263.51 N

Hence, Force exerted outside of the axle in order to prevent the wheel from rotating is equal to 263.51 N.

Why is a steam burn more damaging than a burn from boiling water at the same temperature?
maksim [4K]
The phase change (from gas to liquid) that the steam undergoes right when it touches your skin releases a lot of energy right onto your skin so it burns a ton. The boiling water would just burn you until it reaches the same temperature as your skin.

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down as indicated. Consider the following possibilities. A At some point du
dangina [55]

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).

A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative).  <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.

B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration.  No.  If the mass is bouncing, this is never true.  It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.

C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration.  <em>Yes.</em>  This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .  

D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative).  No.  This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring.  If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.
