The energy that is produced by the sun is made by?

1 answer:

8 0

The sun's light and heat that we depend on come about in the process of nuclear fusion deep in the sun's core. The same process takes place in the core of every living star, and in every 'hydrogen' bomb.

Help with Order of Magnitude question?

solong [7]

The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.

C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
C = 24,912 miles

From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.

An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

$v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)$

$= 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)$

$v_1 = 0.20964 m^3/kg$

$s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)$

$= 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K$

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume so $v_1 - v_2 = 0.29064 m^3/kg$

$v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)$

$=0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)$

$x_2 = 0.327$

$s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K$

Change in entropy $\Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)$

=3( 3.36035 - 2.88) = 1.44 kJ/kg

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion $v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh$

$v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s$

Since mass = 3.8kg

$K.E = 1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules$

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 19.5 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 44.8 m/s in

Arada [10]

Answer:

5295.3 N

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force

mv + P = mV

P = mV - mv = m(V - v)

Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative

P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s

Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is

F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N
