One, three and five are correct.

Although if the second statement is saying that stars use gravitational force to support nuclear fusion which in turn produces energy then that would be correct, but I don’t think so :)

Answer:

  • Stars produce energy through nuclear fusion.
  • Stars are massive objects composed of gas.
  • Stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.

Explanation:

Stars are massive objects that have a large gravitational field, which drives the star to contract on itself, which is why fusion occurs: in the center of the star the nuclei of atoms are already so close due to gravity and high temperatures that bind. This is what is called nuclear fusion and is the energy source of a star.

On the other hand yes, the main elements of a star are hydrogen and helium (two hydrogen nuclei fuse to make helium), this makes the star mainly a huge ball of gas so there is no solid surface where you can stand on.

And about water on a star, that is not possible. Temperatures on stars are very vey high that watter could not exist in a liquid form on them.

A ball of moist clay falls 15.0 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 20.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the m
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down

Explanation:

Vf² - Vo² = 2gS

where

Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground

Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)

S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m

Substituting appropriate values,

Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)  

Vf = 17.15 m/sec.

Formula to use is,  

V - Vf = aT

where

V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0

Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)

a = acceleration

T = 20 ms  

Put the values to find acceleration

a=(V-Vf)/T

a=(0-17.15)/20

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

What is the change in length of a 1400. m steel, (12x10^-6)/(C0) , pipe for a temperature change of 250.0 degrees Celsius? Remem
8090 [49]

Answer:

\Delta L = 4.2 m

Explanation:

As per the formula of thermal expansion we know that

L = L_o(1 + \alpha\Delta T)

so here we will have

L_o = 1400 m

\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC

\Delta T = 250 degree C

so here change in the length of the rod is given as

\Delta L = L - L_o

\Delta L = L_o \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = 1400 (12 \times 10^{-6})(250)

\Delta L = 4.2 m

The highest occupiable floor of any building is in the Sears Tower in Chicago. The elevators of the central tower of the buildin
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

9727160J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of elevator rise  = 436m

Force exerted  = 22310N

Unknown:

Work done by the elevator lifting mechanism = ?

Solution:

The work done by a body is the force applied to move a body in a specific direction;

          Work done  = force x distance moved

In this case, the force and distance moved is provided already;

        Work done  = 22310 x 436  = 9727160J
