Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time. In this case, velocity has changed from 17.7 m/s to 14.1 m/s, which is a decrease of 3.6 m/s. This takes place in 12 seconds, so the average acceleration is 3.6 m/s / 12s = 0.3 m/s^2. The direction of this acceleration is south, since the car's northbound speed is decreasing.

What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?

Mariana [72]

Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available.

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

An ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder that has a movable piston on top. The piston has a mass m and an area A and is free to sl

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mass of piston $\left ( m\right )$

no. of moles =n

Given Pressure remains same

Temperature changes from $T_1 to T_2$

Work done $\left ( W\right ) is given by=\int_{V_1}^{V_2}PdV$

W= $P\left ( V_2-V_1\right )$

also $PV_1=nRT_1$

$PV_2=nRT_2$

$W=nR\left ( T_2-T_1\right )$

How would you obtain a mean value for the specific heat<br> capacity of a material?

lidiya [134]

The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.

Explain why a 10 kg stone and 1 kg stone dropped from the same height

11111nata11111 [884]

The acceleration of a body in a gravitational field is independent of its mass. Both the stones will fall with the same acceleration through the same height and hence they will strike the ground simultaneously.

A length of copper wire carries a current of 14 A, uniformly distributed through its cross section. The wire diameter is 2.5 mm,

gavmur [86]

Answer:

a. ρ $_\beta=1.996J/m^3$

b. $U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3$

Explanation:

a. To find the density of magnetic field given use the gauss law and the equation:

$i=14A$ , $d=2.5mm$ , $R=3.3$ Ω, $l=1 km$ , $E_o=8.85x10^{-12}F/m$ , $u_o=4*x10^{-7}H/m$

ρ $_\beta=\frac{\beta^2}{2*u_o}$

ρ $_\beta=\frac{1}{2*u_o}*(\frac{u_o*i^2}{2\pi *r})^2$

ρ $_\beta=\frac{u_o*i^2}{8\pi*r}=\frac{4\pi *10^{-7}H/m*(14A)^2}{8\pi*(1.25x10^{-3}m)^2}$

ρ $_\beta=1.996J/m^3$

b. The electric field can be find using the equation:

$U_E=\frac{1}{2}*E_o*E^2$

$E=(\frac{i*R}{l})^2$

$U_E=\frac{1}{2}*8.85x10^{-12}*(\frac{14A*3.3}{1000m})^2$

$U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3$
