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!

2. A cinder block is sitting on a platform 20 m high. It weighs 16kg. The block has
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

3136 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

P.E = mgh.............. Equation 1

Where P.E = potential energy, m = mass of the cinder block, h = height of the platform, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: m = 16 kg, h = 20 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P.E = 16(20)(9.8)

P.E = 3136 Joules

Hence the potential energy of the cinder block is 3136 Joules

A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the 14) car a deceleration of 3.50
sergij07 [2.7K]
To be able to determine the original speed of the car, we use kinematic equations to relate the acceleration, distance and the original speed of the car moving. 

First, we manipulate the one of the kinematic equations
 
v^2 = v0^2 + 2 (a) (x)  where v = 0 since the car stopped

Writing the equation in such a way that the initial velocity or v0 is written on one side of the equation,

<span>we get v0 = sqrt (2(a)(x))

Substituting the known values,

v0 = sqrt(2(3.50)(30.0))
v0 = 14.49 m/s 
</span>
Therefore, before stopping the car the original speed of the car would be 14.49 m/s

A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill, as shown in the image below. If
kherson [118]

The minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill. The friction is ignored.  The ball must have to reach the top of the hill with a velocity. The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.

M.E bottom of hill = M.E on top of hill

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Kinetic energy  + Potential energy

1/2 mu² + 0 =  0 + mgh

At the top of hill, the velocity will become zero. So, final kinetic energy is zero.

Substituting the values, we have

1/2 x u² = 9.8 x 22.5

u = sqrt [2 x9.8 x 22.5 ]

u= 21 m/s

Thus, the minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s.

A man wishes to lift a stone weighing 1440 N, using a first-class lever that measures 5 meters. What force should it perform if
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3360 N

Explanation:

In a first-class lever, the effort force and load force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.

The lever is 5 m long.  The load force is 1.50 m from the fulcrum, so the effort force must be 3.50 m from the fulcrum.

The torques are equal:

Fr = Fr

(1440 N) (3.5 m) = F (1.5 m)

F = 3360 N
