<span>0.373 seconds. First, calculate the initial vertical velocity of the shell. 800sin(30) = 800*0.5 = 400 m/s Now the formula for the distance traveled is d = 400 m/s * T + 0.5A T^2 Substituting known values gives. 150 = 400 m/s * T + 0.5*9.80m/s^2 T^2 150 = 400 m/s * T + 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 Arrange as a quadratic formula 0 = 400 m/s * T + 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 - 150 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 + 400 m/s * T - 150 = 0 Now solve for T using the quadratic formula with a=4.9, b=400, and c=-150 The calculated value is 0.373 seconds. Is this value reasonable? Let's check. The initial downward velocity is 400 m/s. So 150/400 = 0.375 seconds. Since the actual time will be a bit less due to acceleration by gravity and since the total time is so short, there won't be much acceleration due to gravity, the value of 0.373 is quite reasonable.</span>

Mnenie [13.5K]

The total amount of energy per hour is 2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we are told that the amount of energy reaching a square meter in the United States per hour is

E_1 = 2073 kJ

The total surface area of the United States is

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 km^2

And converting into squared metres,

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^6 = 9.834\cdot 10^{12} m^2

Therefore, the total energy reaching the entire United States per hour is given by:

E=AE_1 = (9.834\cdot 10^{12})(2073)=2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

What happens when a star's core runs out of hydrogen and why does this occur?
Ad libitum [116K]
When the core runs out of hydrogen to fuse, then it starts fusing the helium. This happens because a star cannot create more hydrogen.
