A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.
Answer:
Explanation:
If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces.
Answer:
U = 56877.4 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:
U = mgh Formula (1)
Where:
U is the potential energy in Joules (J)
m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)
Data
m= 81.4 kg
g= 9.8 m/s²
h = 71.3 m
Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower
We replace data in the formula (1)
U = m*g*h
U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)
U = 56877.4 N*m
U = 56877.4 J
Answer:
b) -10 m/s
Explanation:
In perfectly elastic head on collisions of identical masses, the velocities are exchanged with one another.
