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.

2. A 2000 kg car with speed 12.0 m/s hits a tree. The tree does not move or

krek1111 [17]

a) The work done by the tree is $-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$

b) The amount of force applied is 2880 N

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car. Therefore, we can write:

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

W is the work done on the car

m is the mass of the car

u is its initial speed

v is its final speed

For the car in this problem, we have:

m = 2000 kg

u = 12.0 m/s

v = 0 (since the car comes to a stop, after the crash)

Therefore, the work done by the tree on the car is:

$W=0-\frac{1}{2}(2000)(12.0)^2=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$

The work is negative because it is done in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the car.

The work done by the tree on the car can also be rewritten as

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force applied on the car

d is the displacement of the car during the collision

In this situation, we have:

$W=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$ is the work done

$d=50.0 cm = 0.50 m$ is the displacement of the car during the collision

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted by the tree on the car:

$F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{-1.44\cdot 10^5 J}{0.50}=-2880 N$

Where the negative sign means the force is applied opposite to the direction of motion of the car. Therefore, the magnitude of the force applied is 2880 N.

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?

steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}$

We know that:

$E_T = U + K$

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>

Maddie wanted to make a sugar-water solution to put in her hummingbird feeder. She found some sugar cubes and was about to drop

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

this is a good suggestion

Explanation:

when the sugar cubes are crushed and they become a powder so its surface area increases. And as surface area is directly proportional to rate of reaction so the desired solution will be formed rapidly

Which of the following options is correct and why?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option (e) = The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following set of infomation in the question given above;

=> "spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin."

=> " A charge Q is placed inside the sphere."

So, the question is that if we are to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface, the charge should be located where?

The CORRECT option (e) that is " The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere." Is correct because of the reason given below;

REASON: because the charge is "covered" and the position is unknown, the flux will continue to be constant.

Also, the Equation that defines Gauss' law does not specify the position that the charge needs to be located, therefore it can be anywhere.
