Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear _____.

Kruka [31]

Answer;

- Nuclear fusion

Explanation;

-Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with the nuclear fusion. On other side, the Sun and other stars make heat and light by nuclear reactions.

-The first stage of a hydrogen bomb involves a fission explosion which in turn leads to a nuclear fusion. The extreme heat and pressure from the initial atomic blast force together deuterium and tritium (two light gases made of hydrogen). When they are forced together, some of the hydrogen atoms fuse to one another, creating helium.

-This process of fusion releases even more energy per unit of mass than fission does, and the energy released from the fusion reaction also feeds back into the fission reaction, increasing its output.

The phosphorus cycle is important to ecosystems. Choose all of these statements that are true concerning the phosphorus cycle.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The largest reservoir of phosphorous is sedimentary rock.

Major sources of phosphorous to aquatic ecosystems are fertilizer runoff, sewage leaks, and industrial wastes.

Eccess phosphorous can lead to eutrophication

Explanation:

Phosphorus come from different sources such as aquatic ecosystems and fertilizers used for plants. When these substances containing phosphorus and those from industrial wastes find their way into water bodies, they tend to cause eutrophication, which is the natural enrichment of water bodies.

Also, it is known that a very small portion of phosphoric acid contribute to acid rain in the atmosphere.

State and prove bessel inequality

maria [59]

Statement :- We assume the orthagonal sequence ${{\{\phi\}}_{1}^{\infty}}$ in Hilbert space, now ${\forall \sf \:v\in \mathbb{V}}$ , the Fourier coefficients are given by:

${\quad \qquad \longrightarrow \sf a_{i}=(v,{\phi}_{i})}$

Then Bessel's inequality give us:

${\boxed{\displaystyle \bf \sum_{1}^{\infty}\vert a_{i}\vert^{2}\leqslant \Vert v\Vert^{2}}}$

Proof :- We assume the following equation is true

${\quad \qquad \longrightarrow \displaystyle \sf v_{n}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{i}{\phi}_{i}}$

So that, ${\bf v_n}$ is projection of ${\bf v}$ onto the surface by the first ${\bf n}$ of the ${\bf \phi_{i}}$ . For any event, ${\sf (v-v_{n})\perp v_{n}}$

Now, by Pythagoras theorem:

${:\implies \quad \sf \Vert v\Vert^{2}=\Vert v-v_{n}\Vert^{2}+\Vert v_{n}\Vert^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf ||v||^{2}=\Vert v-v_{n}\Vert^{2}+\sum_{i=1}^{n}\vert a_{i}\vert^{2}}$

Now, we can deduce that from the above equation that;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \sum_{i=1}^{n}\vert a_{i} \vert^{2}\leqslant \Vert v\Vert^{2}}$

For ${\sf n\to \infty}$ , we have

${:\implies \quad \boxed{\displaystyle \bf \sum_{1}^{\infty}\vert a_{i}\vert^{2}\leqslant \Vert v\Vert^{2}}}$

Hence, Proved

Let surface S be the boundary of the solid object enclosed by x^2+z^2=4, x+y=6, x=0, y=0, and z=0. and, let f(x,y,z)=(3x)i+(x+y+

babunello [35]

a. I've attached a plot of the surface. Each face is parameterized by

• $\mathbf s_1(x,y)=x\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j$ with $0\le x\le2$ and $0\le y\le6-x$ ;

• $\mathbf s_2(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_3(y,z)=y\,\mathbf j+z\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le y\le 6$ and $0\le z\le2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_4(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+(6-u\cos v)\,\mathbf j+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ; and

• $\mathbf s_5(u,y)=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le\frac\pi2$ and $0\le y\le6-2\cos u$ .

b. Assuming you want outward flux, first compute the outward-facing normal vectors for each face.

$\mathbf n_1=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial x}=-\mathbf k$

$\mathbf n_2=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial v}=-u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_3=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial z}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial y}=-\mathbf i$

$\mathbf n_4=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial u}=u\,\mathbf i+u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_5=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial u}=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$

Then integrate the dot product of <em>f</em> with each normal vector over the corresponding face.

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_1}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}f(x,y,0)\cdot\mathbf n_1\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}0\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_2}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,0,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_2\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$\displaystyle=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=-8$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_3}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^6\mathbf f(0,y,z)\cdot\mathbf n_3\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^60\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_4}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,6-u\cos v,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_4\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=\frac{40}3+6\pi$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_5}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}\mathbf f(2\cos u,y,2\sin u)\cdot\mathbf n_5\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}12\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du=36\pi-24$

c. You can get the total flux by summing all the fluxes found in part b; you end up with 42π - 56/3.

Alternatively, since <em>S</em> is closed, we can find the total flux by applying the divergence theorem.

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

where <em>R</em> is the interior of <em>S</em>. We have

$\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(3x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y+2z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(3z)}{\partial z}=7$

The integral is easily computed in cylindrical coordinates:

$\begin{cases}x(r,t)=r\cos t\\y(r,t)=6-r\cos t\\z(r,t)=r\sin t\end{cases},0\le r\le 2,0\le t\le\dfrac\pi2$

$\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-r\cos t}7r\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dt\,\mathrm dr=42\pi-\frac{56}3$

as expected.
