-- The wavelength and the amplitude were described in my answer to your previous question.

-- A "compression" is a place where the wave is compressed. It's the darker section of the wave in the picture, where the wavelength is temporarily shorter, so several waves are all bunched up (compressed) in a small time.

-- A "rarefaction" is exactly the opposite of a "compression". It's a place where the wave gets more "rare" ... the wavelength temporarily gets longer, so that several waves get stretched out, and there are fewer of them in some period of time. The arrow in the picture points to a rarefaction.

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

AlladinOne [14]

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

What happens to the water particles in a wave?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer: waves transport energy, not water. As a wave crest passes, the water particles move in circular paths. The movement of the floating inner tube is simulacra to the movement of the water particles. Water particles rise as a wave crest approaches.

The velocity of an object is positive and steadily increasing. Which of the following graphs represents how the acceleration of

stiv31 [10]

If an object's velocity is steadily increasing it means that the acceleration is constant at a certain value.

Choice A shows an acceleration of zero which would only be true if the object was not moving or if its velocity was not changing.

Choice B gives us a graph showing acceleration increasing over time and is therefore incorrect.

Choice C is correct because the acceleration is constant. Steadily increasing tells us that the acceleration is fixed at a certain value.

Choice D is incorrect an represents a constant negative acceleration. This would be the case if the object was steadily decreasing in velocity.

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1000 v . part a what is the proton's kinetic energy,

wlad13 [49]

We can apply the law of conservation of energy here. The total energy of the proton must remain constant, so the sum of the variation of electric potential energy and of kinetic energy of the proton must be zero:
$\Delta U + \Delta K=0$
which means
$\Delta K = - \Delta U$
The variation of electric potential energy is equal to the product between the charge of the proton (q=1eV) and the potential difference ( $\Delta V=-1000 V$ ):
$\Delta U = q \Delta V=(1 eV)(-1000 V)=-1000 eV$
Therefore, the kinetic energy gained by the proton is
$\Delta K = -(-1000 eV)=1000 eV$
And since the initial kinetic energy of the proton was zero (it started from rest), then this 1000 eV corresponds to the final kinetic energy of the proton.

Which of the following is true concerning nuclear fusion?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Choice-'a' is a slippery, misleading, ambiguous statement,
but it's less wrong than any of the other choices on this list.
