The sun emits energy by converting hydrogen into helium. what is this process called?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is Nuclear Fusion. The sun emits energy by converting hydrogen into helium. Nuclear fusion does two things, it converts hydrogen into helium and it also converts mass to energy.

An Earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the Earth’s surface equal to one Earth radius (4 000 miles). At this location,

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 4000 miles

We need to calculate the gravitational force at surface

Gravitational force on the mass m on the surface of the earth

At r = R

$F=mg$

$mg=\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}$ ....(I)

We need to calculate the gravitational force at height

Gravitational force on a mass m from the center of the earth,

At r = R + R = 2 R

$F'=mg'$

$mg'=\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}$ ....(II)

Dividing equation (II) by equation (I)

$\dfrac{mg'}{mg}=\dfrac{\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}}{\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}}$

$\dfrac{g'}{g}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, The acceleration due to gravity is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

A 3.1 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 38 m tall building. What is the speed of the ball when it is halfway from the buildin

Archy [21]

Answer:

19.3m/s

Explanation:

Use third equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity

insert values to get answer

$v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s$

Phantasy [73]

Greetings!

The correct answer choice is Choice 4.

In a scientific experiment the only thing being changed is the independent variable. Everything else should stay the same.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight each plant should receive. <em>Here's a tip</em>- when looking for and independent variable look for whats being changed on purpose.

Hope this helps!
