Answer:

The atomic number 26(iron) is the threshold value below which the fusion might occur.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

Energy released in a fusion reaction is because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy which is a measure of the efficiency with which its constituent nucleons are bound together.

As we go up in atomic number, the energy released per nuclei goes down until it hits a minimum which is for atomic number 26 (iron) and fusion is not possible.

Answer:

Atomic no. 26 i.e. Iron

Explanation:

Nuclear Fusion is a process in which two or more nucleus are fused(combined) together to make heavier nucleus and release a lot of energy and other subatomic particles in the process. Considerable amount of energy is required to fuse the nucleus together but the output energy is much more than the input energy. It becomes an exothermic process.

In case of heavier nuclei, this doesn't hold true as the process becomes endothermic. That means the output energy will be way lesser than the input energy given to fuse the nucleus. This happens for elements of atomic no. 26 or above. Even in stars we can find element till atomic no. 26 as they can be formed by fusion. When a star reaches to iron fusion stage that is the end of it and it explodes into a supernova.

A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 9.7 m/s, decelerates to a speed of 4.0 m/s in 4.4 s. Each wheel has a radius
Morgarella [4.7K]

Hi there!

We can begin by solving for the linear acceleration as we are given sufficient values to do so.

We can use the following equation:

vf = vi + at

Plug in given values:

4 = 9.7 + 4.4a

Solve for a:

a = -1.295 m/s²

We can use the following equation to convert from linear to angular acceleration:

a = αr

a/r = α

Thus:

-1.295/0.61 = -2.124 rad/sec² ⇒ 2.124 rad/sec² since counterclockwise is positive.

Now, we can find the angular displacement using the following:

θ = ωit + 1/2αt²

We must convert the initial velocity of the tire (9.7 m/s) to angular velocity:

v = ωr

v/r = ω

9.7/0.61 = 15.9 rad/sec

Plug into the equation:

θ = 15.9(4.4) + 1/2(2.124)(4.4²) = 20.56 rad

Add the KE increase and the work done against friction.

The final velocity is twice the average, or 3.0 m/s
The final KE is (1/2)*25*3^2 = 112.5 J

The friction work done is 6*3.8 = 22.8 J

Answer:

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

Explanation:

Rate of flow of heat through a material is given by the following expression

\frac{Q}{t} =\frac{KA\delta T}{d}

where Q is amount of heat flowing in time t through area A and  a medium of thickness d having two faces at temperature difference δT . K is thermal conductivity of the medium .

Here Q = 3.34 x 10⁶/6 , t = 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 s , A = .332 X .332 = .0110224 m² ,  δT = 104.7

Put these values here

\frac{3.34\times10^6}{6\times86400}= \frac{k\times.011224\times104.7}{4.41\times10^{-2}}

K=\frac{3.34\times4.41\times10^4}{6\times86400\times.011224\times104.7}

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

musickatia [10]

Answer:

amplitudes

Explanation:

In everyday physics we define the amplitude of a wave as the maximum (this can also be called the highest)displacement or distance moved by a point on a given vibrating body or wave as measured from its equilibrium position. The key idea in defining the amplitude of a wave motion is the idea of a 'maximum displacement from the position of equilibrium'.

Given the equations;

E= EoSin(kx - ωt)y

B= Bosin(kx- ωt)z

Both Eo and Bo refer to the maximum displacement of the electric and magnetic field components of the electromagnetic wave. This maximum displacement is known as the amplitude of the electric and magnetic components of the electromagnetic wave.
