Well, the quantity alone doesn't point to any one particular process.
I mean, you could get 3.826 x 10²⁶ watts of heat out of a pile of
smoldering charcoal IF the pile was big enough and you kept it
supplied with enough oxygen.

The thing about the sun is that ==> it can churn out energy at that rate
from the mass that it has, ==> it has already been doing that for so many
billions of years, and ==> it will continue doing that for so many more
billions of years in the future.

The only possible process able to accomplish that is nuclear fusion.

Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it
shepuryov [24]
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

What did johannes kepler contribute to the study of planets
Nana76 [90]
Johannes Kepler was a main stargazer of the Scientific Revolution known for detailing the Laws of Planetary Motion. A stargazer, obviously, is a man who contemplates the sun, stars, planets and different parts of room. Kepler was German and lived in the vicinity of 1571 and 1630. 
Despite the fact that Kepler is best known for characterizing laws in regards to planetary movement, he made a few other striking commitments to science. He was the first to discover that refraction drives vision in the eye and that utilizing two eyes empowers profundity recognition.

A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon
Tasya [4]

Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v

A spacecraft is moving past the earth at a constant speed of 0.60 times the speed of light. The astronaut measures the time inte
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds
