zavuch27 [327]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The sun's energy comes from thermonuclear fusion reactions.

Explanation:

Due to the Sun's strong gravitational pull, hydrogen atoms fuse, resulting in helium atoms. During this process, tremendous amounts of energy are released, or the energy of the Sun.

Why does the Sun appear so big, bright, and hot if it is<br> only an average sized star?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.

Explanation:

However, compared to other stars, our Sun is only a medium-sized star, meaning that some stars are much larger than the Sun and some are much smaller.

What property makes ocean water a good conductor of electricity
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The salt molecules (Sodium ions and Chlorine ions) in the ocean water makes it a good conductor of electricity.

Explanation:

Conductivity<em> refers to the ability of an object to transmit electricity.</em> Transmitting electricity means allowing electricity to pass through the material. The best conductor of electricity is <u>"silver."</u> Other elements which are also good conductors are: <em>gold, aluminum, copper, etc. </em>Those which are poor in conducting electricity are called insulators. These include <em>glass, plastic, rubber, paper, styrofoam, etc. </em>

<u>Ocean water is considered a good conductor of electricity because it contains Sodium ions and Chlorine ions.</u> Remember that ions carry electrical charges, which could either be positive or negative. <u>The Sodium ion here is positively charged, while the Chlorine ion is negatively charged.</u> Being mixed with water makes it an electrolyte solution. When electricity travels, it needs to have two sources: a positive terminal and a negative terminal. This means that the Sodium ions will be attracted to the electricity's negative terminal, while the Chlorine ions will be attracted to the positive terminal. This will allow the electrons to flow through the medium, thus creating a circuit for electricity to pass through.

This is the reason why ocean water is a good conductor of electricity.

An electric current flows through a parallel circuit. Which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circui
kompoz [17]

'Ampere' is the unit of current.  That's the rate at which
electrons travel in the circuit ... the number of electrons
every second.  If you wanted the actual amount or number
of electrons, you'd need to know the length of time too.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about a parallel or
series circuit.

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m
