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

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!

melomori [17]

Answer:

The extension is directly proportional to the force applied.

ex: if the force is doubled, the extension doubles. This works until the limit of proportionality is exceeded.

Hope this helped~

In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment a 4.32 x 104-m length of wire
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Length, l = 4.32 x 10^4 m

speed, v = 7.07 x 10^3 m/s

magnetic field, B = 5.81 x 10^-5 T

The formula for the motion emf is given by

e = B x v x l

e = 5.81 x 10^-5 x 7.07 x 10^3 x 4.32 x 10^4

e = 17745.1 V

A mass m neutron has elastic collision with a mass m'
hoa [83]

Answer:

The neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of neutron is 'm' and mass of nucleus is 'm'.

The type of collision is elastic collision.

In elastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy of the system. So, total kinetic energy is conserved. Also, the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Here, the nucleus is still. So, its initial kinetic energy is 0. So, the total initial kinetic energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the neutron only.

Now, final kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the initial kinetic energy.

Now, as the nucleus was at rest initially, so the final kinetic energy of the nucleus will be equal to the initial kinetic energy of the neutron.

Thus, all the kinetic energy of the neutron will be transferred to the nucleus and the neutron will come to rest after collision.

Therefore, the neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

An ideal monatomic gas at temperature T is held in a container. If the gas is compressed isothermally, that is at constant tempe
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 0 J

b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

d) ΔQ = W

Explanation:

a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Q: heat transfer

W: work done by the gas

The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have

ΔU = 0 J

b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.

The work is given by the following formula:

\\W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

n: moles

R: ideal gas constant

T: constant temperature

Vf: final volume

Vi: initial volume

Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas

c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.

The amount of heat is equal to the work done W

d)

\Delta U = \Delta Q-W\\\\0=\Delta Q-W\\\\\Delta Q=W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})
