Strong nuclear forces

Explanation:

The formation and breakage of the strong nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom accounts for the energy released during fission and fusion reactions.

Nuclear reactions occurs when changes are made to the nucleus of an atom.

Strong nuclear forces maintains the stability in the nucleus of an atom.
Strong nuclear forces are the strongest of the fundamental forces.
They hold subatomic particles together.
When they are broken during a nuclear fission, they release a great deal of energy.
When they form during a fusion they also release energy.

Melissa's favorite exercise equipment at the gym consists of various springs. in one exercise, she pulls a handle grip attached

konstantin123 [22]

The formula for force exerted on/by a spring is

F = k*e where k is the spring constant and x is the distance stretched from unstrained position. This should allow you to find what you need.

Using F = k x e,

where k is the spring constant,

and e is the extension,

The F is her weight = 45 X 0.80

An object moving at 15 m/s slows uniformly at a rate of 2.0 m/s each second for 5.0 s. What is its final speed?

NeX [460]

Hey there!

We are given ,

Acceleration, a = -2m/s^2

Initial velocity , u = 15m/s

Time , t = 5 seconds

We know that ,
V=u+at

Now , final speed ,

V = 15+(-2)(5)

V = 15-10

V = 5 m/s -> final speed

Hope this helps you dear :)

Two hockey players have a total momentum of +200 kg x m/s before a collision (+ is to the right). After the collision, they move

Juliette [100K]

Total momentum after the collision: +200 kg m/s to the right

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the law of conservation of momentum, which states that for an isolated system (=no external forces acting on the system), the total momentum is conserved.

Mathematically,

$p_i=p_f$

where

$p_i$ is the total momentum before the collision

$p_f$ is the total momentum after the collision

In this problem, the system consists of two hockey players. Before the collision, their total momentum is

$p_i = +200 kg m/s$ (to the right)

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum, their total momentum after the collision must be the same:

$p_f = +200 kg m/s$

And given that the sign is +, the direction is still the same, therefore to the right.

A 53 g ice cube at −30◦C is dropped into a container of water at 0◦C. How much water freezes onto the ice? The specific heat of

vladimir2022 [97]

For A 53 g ice cube at −30◦C is dropped into a container of water at 0◦C, the amount of water that freezes onto the ice? is mathematically given as

x = 9.93 g

<h3>What is the amount of water that freezes onto the ice?</h3>

Where

Energy received = energy given out

Generally, the amount of water is mathematically given as

(53)(0.5)(30) = (80)(x)

Therefore

x = (49)(0.5)(16)/(80)

x = 9.93 g

In conclusion, the mass of water

x = 9.93 g

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?

Marrrta [24]

$\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}$

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : Unbalanced forces cause an object to move. [ option c ]

More to know :-

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p $\propto$ Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .
