<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A star is defined as a fixed point in the night sky which illuminates and is very large. the primary element present in stars is Hydrogen and it continuously changes to helium by a process known as Nuclear fusion reaction. This process releases a huge amount of energy.

Nuclear fusion reaction is defined as the combination of lighter nuclei to form a heavy nuclei. In Stars, hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom.

The reactions which takes place in stars follows a series of equations:

_1^1\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _1^2\textrm{H}+_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}\\\\_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^3\textrm{He}+\text{energy}\\\\_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Overall reaction for the above series of reactions is given by:

4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

A 0.400-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 5.86 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}

Energy

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})

m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

Where:

m_{1}, m_{2} - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

v_{1,o}, v_{2,o} - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

v_{1}, v_{2} - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If m_{1} = 0.400\,kg, m_{2} = 0.900\,kg, v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the system of equation is simplified as follows:

2.344\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f} + 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}

13.736\,J = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

Let is clear v_{1,f} in first equation:

0.4\cdot v_{1,f} = 2.344 - 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}

v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f}

Now, the same variable is substituted in second equation and resulting expression is simplified and solved afterwards:

13.736 = 0.4\cdot (5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f})^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

13.736 = 0.4\cdot (34.340-26.37\cdot v_{2,f}+5.063\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

13.736 = 13.736-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} +2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} = 0

2.925\cdot v_{2,f}\cdot (v_{2,f}-3.606) = 0

There are two solutions:

v_{2,f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s} or v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}

The first root coincides with the conditions before collision and the second one represents a physically reasonable solution.

Now, the final speed of the 0.400-kg puck is: (v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s})

v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot (3.606)

v_{1,f} = -2.254\,\frac{m}{s}

The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second.

b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards.

c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

A family has a furnace that uses natural gas to heat their home. They are moving to an area that offers the option of using ener
Murrr4er [49]

The disadvantage will the family most likely face by making this switch is that solar power has a less reliable production of heat.Option A is correct.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Nuclear power bare a form of the thermal power plant. You have a reactor where fission takes place and heat is generated, a heat exchanger that transports this heat to where it is needed.

Thermal power plant equipment converts this heat into electric energy, usually via a steam turbine.

The household will most likely experience a disadvantage from this decision in that solar power produces heat less consistently.

Hence option A is correct,

Which example identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?
kifflom [539]
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}

\lambda=471\ nm

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta

d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, \sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}

d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m

d = 40.11\ \mu m

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.
