Does the sun fuse hydrogen into helium or vice versa?

1 answer:

6 0

Hydrogen has the smaller, lighter, simpler nucleus.
Helium has the larger, heavier, more complex nucleus.
Hydrogen nuclei are fused to form helium nuclei.
When that happens, energy is released.

In a hydroelectric power plant, water flows from an elevation of 400 ft to a turbine, where electric power is generated. For an

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$V=3.475ft^3/s=3.48ft^3/s$

Explanation:

We have here values from SI and English Units. I will convert the units to English Units.

We hace for the power P,

$P= 100kW \rightarrow 100kW*(\frac{737.56ft.lbf/s}{1kW})$

$P= 73.7*10^{3}ft.lbf/s$

we have other values such $h=400ft$ and $\gamma= 62.42lb/ft^3$ (specific weight of the water), and 0.85 for \eta

We need to figure the flow rate of the water (V) out, that is,

$V=\frac{P}{\gamma h \eta_0}$

Where $\eta_0$ is the turbine efficiency, at which is,

$\eta_0 = \frac{P}{\gamma Vh}$

Replacing,

$V=\frac{73.7*10^{3}}{62.42*400*0.85}$

$V=3.475ft^3/s$

With this value (the target of this question) we can also calculate the mass flow rate of the waters,

through the density and the flow rate,

$m=\rho V\\m= 3.475*1.94 \\m=6.7415 slugs/s$

converting the slugs to lbm, 1slug = 32.174lbm, we have that the mass flow rate of the water is,

$m= 217lbm/s$

A solid, uniform sphere with a mass of 2.5 kg rolls without slipping down an incline plane starting from rest at a vertical heig

kolezko [41]

Answer:

1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 I ω^2 = m g h conservation of energy

I = 2/5 m R^2 inertia of solid sphere

1/2 m v^2 + 1/5 m ω^2 R^2 = m g h

1/2 v^2 + 1/5 v^2 = g h

v^2 = 10 g h / 7 = 1.43 * 9.80 * 19 m^2/s^2 = 266 m^2/s^2

v = 16.3 m/s

v = R ω

ω = 16.3 / .6 = 27.2 / sec
