What is nuclear fission? why is this process important to stars?

1 answer:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a new nucleus. This process is important to stars because they get their energy from the nuclear fusion process

Suppose an electron is trapped within a small region and the uncertainty in its position is 24.0 x 10-15 m. What is the minimum

Alina [70]

Answer:

Uncertainty in position (∆x) = 24 × 10⁻¹⁵ m
Uncertainty in momentum (∆P) = ?
Planck's constant (h) = 6.26 × 10⁻³⁴ Js

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta x .\Delta p = \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf24 \times {10}^{ - 15} .\Delta p = \dfrac{6.26 \times {10}^{ - 34}} {4 \times \frac{22}{7} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf24 \times {10}^{ - 15} .\Delta p = \dfrac{6.26 \times {10}^{ - 34}} { \frac{88}{7} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf24 \times {10}^{ - 15} .\Delta p = \dfrac{6.26 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 7} { 8 }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ - 34} } { 8 \times 24 \times {10}^{ - 15} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ - 34} } { 192 \times {10}^{ - 15} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times {10}^{15} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ -19} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{4382 \times {10}^{ - 2} \times {10}^{ -19} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{4382 \times {10}^{ - 21} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = 22.822\times {10}^{ - 21}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = 2.2822 \times {10}^{1} \times {10}^{ - 21}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \underline{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf\Delta p = 2.2822 \times {10}^{ - 20} \: kg/ms}}}$

A 45-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Complete question:

A 45-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If the switch is closed at time t = 0 s, what is the current 7.0 ms later?

Answer:

The current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A

Explanation:

Given;

Ideal inductor, L = 45-mH

Resistor, R = 60-Ω

Ideal voltage supply, V = 15-V

Initial current at t = 0 seconds:

I₀ = V/R

I₀ = 15/60 = 0.25 A

Time constant, is given as:

T = L/R

T = (45 x 10⁻³) / (60)

T = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ s

Change in current with respect to time, is given as;

$I(t) = I_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{T}})$

Current in the circuit after 7 ms later:

t = 7 ms = 7 x 10⁻³ s

$I(t) = I_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{T}})\\\\I =0.25(1-e^{-\frac{7*10^{-3}}{7.5*10^{-4}}})\\\\I = 0.25(0.9999)\\\\I = 0.2499 \ A$

Therefore, the current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A

STatiana [176]

Answer:

1. 31,536,000 seconds

2. Car B traveled a longer distance

3. Volume of box = 0.235887 cubic meters

Explanation:

Q1. Age in seconds

1 year = 365 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

In scientific notation this would be $3.1536\times 10^7 \text{ seconds}$

Q2. Comparing km and miles

Given:
1 km = 1000m and 1 m = 3.3ft, I km = 1000 x 3.3 = 3300 ft.

Convert Car A distance of 25.7km to feet :
25.7 km. = 25. 7 x 3300 ft. = 84,810 ft.

For Car B that traveled 20 miles,
20 miles = 20 x 5280 = 105,600 ft.

Since 105,600 > 84,810, car B traveled a longer distance

Q3. Volume of wooden box

The wooden box is in the shape of a rectangular prism
It volume is L x W x H
Volume = 1.525 x 0.30 x 0.5156 = 0.235887 cubic meters

allsm [11]

Answer:

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The process is as follows:

D. When current flows through the motor, it powers electromagnets that are attracted and repelled by the poles of permanent magnets in the motor. The movement of the electromagnets turns a rod in the motor, which makes the mechanical energy available.
