The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

Compute the velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts. express your answe
Elodia [21]

The velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts will be 5.93 * 10^{6} m/s

Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons.

By conservation of energy, the kinetic energy has to equal the change in potential energy, so KE=q*V. The energy of the electron in electron-volts is numerically the same as the voltage between the plates.

given

charge of electron = 1.6 × 10^{-19} C

mass of electron  = 9.1 × 10^{-31} kg

Force in an electric field = q*E

potential energy is stored in the form of work done

potential energy = work done = Force * displacement

                                                   = q * (E * d)  

                                                   = q * (V) = 1.6 × 10^{-19} * 100

stored potential energy = kinetic energy in electric field

kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * v^{2}

                        = 1/2 *  9.1 × 10^{-31} *  v^{2}

equation both the equations

1/2 *  9.1 × 10^{-31} *  v^{2} = 1.6 × 10^{-17}

v^{2} = 0.352 * 10^{14} m/s

v^{2} = 35.2 * 10^{12}

    = 5.93 * 10^{6} m/s

A crate is placed on an adjustable, incline board. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board is 0.29.
sasho [114]

Let the angle be Θ (theta)

Let the mass of the crate be m.

a) When the crate just begins to slip. At that moment the net force will be equal to zero and the static friction will be at the maximum vale.

Normal force (N) = mg CosΘ

μ (coefficient of static friction) = 0.29

Static friction = μN = μmg CosΘ

Now, along the ramp, the equation of net force will be:

mg SinΘ - μmg CosΘ = 0

mg SinΘ = μmg CosΘ

tan Θ = μ

tan Θ = 0.29

Θ = 16.17°

b) Let the acceleration be a.

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.26

Now, the equation of net force will be:

mg sinΘ - μ mg CosΘ = ma

a = g SinΘ - μg CosΘ

Plugging the values

a = 9.8 × 0.278 - 0.26 × 9.8 × 0.96

a = 2.7244 - 2.44608

a = 0.278 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration is 0.278 m/s^2

An accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s2. In an experiment with pendulums, you calculate that the val
Fed [463]

g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s^2

as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42m/s^2 in an experiment performed.

the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.

hence the error is -\frac{0.381}{9.801} *100

                                                            =3.88735 percent

the error is not so high,so it can be  accepted.

now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-T=2\pi\sqrt[2]{l/g}

                                                      g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}

As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.

if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801  m/s^2

Hansel pushes a 2 lb. box 5 feet in 20 seconds. How much work has he done?
Licemer1 [7]
Work = force x distance

You can see time doesn’t matter (if we were talking about power, which is the RATE at which work is performed, that would be a different story).

W = 2 x 5 = 10 foot-pounds of work

Foot-pounds are gross units. Better to work in SI units when you can!
