Answer:

The sun:

-is the largest star in our solar system

- is made mostly of hydrogen and helium

-will eventually run out of fuel and die

-creates energy through nuclear reactions

Explanation:

The sun an average mass and sized star composed of hydrogen and helium gas. It generates energy in its core by nuclear fusion reaction. It is the only star in the solar system. Once all the fuel is run out, the nuclear fusion reaction would stop and the sun would die. There are billions of stars in our milky way galaxy and sun is not the largest of them.

Suppose you want to design an air bag system that can protect the driver at a speed 100 km/h (60 mph) if the car hits a brick wa

34kurt

When solving question that contains equations and the use mathematical computations, It is always ideal to list the parameters given.

Now, given that:

the speed of the car which is the initial velocity (u) = 100 km/h before it hits the wall.
after hitting the wall, the final velocity will be (v) = 0 km/h

Assumptions:

Suppose we make an assumption that the distance travelled during the collision of the car with the brick wall (S) = 1 m
That the car's acceleration is also constant.

∴

For a motion under constant acceleration, we can apply the kinematic equation:

$\mathsf{v^2 = u^2 + 2as}$

where;

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

From the above equation, making acceleration (a) the subject of the formula:

$\mathsf{v^2 - u^2 =2as }$

$\mathsf{a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2 }{2s}}$

The initial velocity (u) is given in km/h, and we need to convert it to m/s as it has an effect on the unit of the acceleration.

since 1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s

100 km/h = 27.78 m/s

$\mathsf{a = \dfrac{(0)^2 - (27.78)^2 }{2(1)}}$

$\mathsf{a = \dfrac{- 771.7284 }{2}}$

a = - 385.86 m/s²

Similarly, from the kinematic equation of motion, the formula showing the relation between time, acceleration and velocity is;

v = u + at

where;

v = 0

-u = at

$\mathsf{t = \dfrac{-u}{a}}$

$\mathsf{t = \dfrac{-27.78}{-385.86}}$

t = 0.07 seconds

An airbag is designed in such a way as to prevent the driver from hitting on the steering wheel or other hard substance that could damage the part of the body. The use of the seat belt is to keep the driver in shape and in a balanced position against the expansion that occurred by the airbag during the collision on the brick wall.

Thus, we can conclude that the airbag must be inflated at 0.07 seconds faster before the collision to effectively protect the driver.

A bike with 15cm diameter wheels accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.1m/s over a distance of 35.4m. Determine the an

Finger [1]

Answer:

9.47 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Diameter = 15 cm, radius, r = diameter / 2 = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m, u = 0, v = 7.1 m/s,

s = 35.4 m

let a be the linear acceleration.

Use III equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s

7.1 x 7.1 = 0 + 2 x a x 35.4

a = 0.71 m/s^2

Now the relation between linear acceleration and angular acceleration is

a = r x α

where, α is angular acceleration

α = 0.71 / 0.075 = 9.47 rad/s^2

1. The Moon's mass is 7.34 x 1022 kg, and it is 3.8 x 105 km away from Earth. Earth's

sineoko [7]

Answer:

2.03 x 10²⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of moon = 7.34 x 10²²kg

Mass of the earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴kg

Distance = 3.8 x 10⁵km

Unknown:

Gravitational force of attraction = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational force of attraction between the masses, we use the expression below;

F = $\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

1 and 2 represents moon and earth

r is the distance

F = $\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 7.34 x 10^{22} x 5.97 x 10^{24} }{(3.8 x 10^{5})^{2} }$

F = $\frac{2.92 x 10^{35} }{1.44 x 10^{11} }$ = 2.03 x 10²⁴N

What conversion takes place in a generator?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.
