<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.

Which statement about real gases is true? A) Forces of attraction and repulsion exist between gas particles at close range. B) T
olga55 [171]

Answer: A) Forces of attraction and repulsion exist between gas particles at close range.

Explanation:

The <u>Ideal Gas equation</u> is:  

P.V=n.R.T  

Where:  

P is the pressure of the gas  

V is the volume of the gas  

n the number of moles of gas  

R is the gas constant  

T is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.  In this sense, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under conditions of high temperature and low pressures.

However, at low temperatures or high pressures, real gases deviate significantly from ideal gas behavior.  This is because at low temperatures molecules begin to move slower, allowing the repulsive and attractive forces among them to take effect. In fact, <u>the attraction forces are responsible for the condensation of the gas</u>. In addition, at  high pressures the volume of molecules cannot be approximated to zero, hence the volume of these molecules is not negligible anymore.

When you jump upward, your hang time is the time your feet are off the ground. Does hang time depend on the vertical component o
hjlf

Answer:

It only depends on the vertical component

Explanation:

Hello!

The horizontal component will tell you how much you travel in that direction.

You could have a large horizontal velocity, but if the vertical velocity is zero, you will never be out of the ground. Similarly, you could have a zero horizontal velocity, but if you have a non-zero vertical velocity you will be some time off the ground. This time can be calculated by two means, one is using the equation of motion (position as a function of time) and the other using the velocity as a fucntion of time.

For the former you must find the time when the position is zero.

Lets consider the origin of teh coordinate system at your feet

y(t) = vt - (1/2)gt^2

We are looking for a time t' for which y(t')=0

0 = vt' - (1/2)gt'^2

vt' = (1/2)gt'^2

The trivial solution is when t'=0 which is the initial position, however we are looking for t'≠0, therefore we can divide teh last equation by t'

v = (1/2)gt'

Solving for t'

t' = (2v/g)

Question 18/55 (2 p.)
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

the correct answer is C   v = 60 cm / s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is related to the frequency and the wavelength

         v = λ f

They indicate that the object performs 20 oscillations every second, this is the frequency

         f = 20 Hz

the wavelength is the distance until the wave repeats, the distance between two consecutive peaks corresponds to the wavelength

         λ = 3 cm = 0.03 m

let's calculate

       v = 20 0.03

       v = 0.6 m / s

       v = 60 cm / s

the correct answer is C
