The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

1 answer:

8 0

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!

A negatively charged balloon has 4 μC of charge. How many excess electrons are on this bal- loon? The elemental charge is 1.6 ×

bagirrra123 [75]

Data:

The charge of a body depends on the amount of electrons it gains or loses. Q = n * e, where "Q" is charge, "n" is the number of plus or minus electrons, and "e" is the fundamental charge of an electron $1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C$ <span>. To know if the body has gained or lost, we look at the signal of its charge, remembering that the electron is negative. The charge of the body is 4 μC (positive), so there is a lack of electrons!

Q = 4 </span>μC → $Q = 4*10^{-6}$
$e = 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C$
$n = ?$ <span>

We have:
</span> $Q = n*e$
$n = \frac{Q}{e}$
$n = \frac{4*10^{-6}}{1,6 * 10 ^{-19}}$
$n = 2,5*10^{-6-(-19)}$
$n = 2,5*10^{-6+19}$
$\boxed{n = 2,5*10^{13}electrons}$

g A 5.60-kilogram hoop starts from rest at a height 1.80 m above the base of an inclined plane and rolls down under the influenc

swat32

Answer:

4.24m/s

Explanation:

Potential energy at the top= kinetic energy at the button

But kinetic energy= sum of linear and rotational kinetic energy of the hoop

PE= mgh

KE= 1/2 mv^2

RE= 1/2 I ω^2

Where

m= mass of the hoop

v= linear velocity

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height

I= moment of inertia

ω= angular velocity of the hoop.

But

I = m r^2 for hoop and ω = v/r

giving

m g h = 1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 (m r^2) (v^2/r^2) = 1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 m v^2 = m v^2

and m's cancel

g h = v^2

Hence

v= √gh

v= √10×1.8

v= 4.24m/s

You apply a net force on a soccer ball of 15 N. If the acceleration it has is 5 m/s2 what is the mass of the ball?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the ball can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

We have

$m = \frac{15}{5} = 3 \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.
