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.

A golfer gives a ball a maximum initial speed of 51.5 m/s. how far does it go

nata0808 [166]

<u>Answer:</u>

Golf ball will go a maximum of 270.36 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g $m/s^2$ and final velocity = 0 m/s.

0 = u sin θ - gt

t = u sin θ/g

Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

So range of projectile, $R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

Now in the given problem

A golfer gives a ball a maximum initial speed of 51.5 m/s. how far does it go

u = 51.5 m/s, for maximum range θ = 45⁰

So maximum distance reached = $\frac{51.5^2sin(2*45)}{9.81}=270.36 meter$

So it will go a maximum of 270.36 meter.

A white dwarf is:______.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

the exposed core of a dead star, supported by electron degeneracy pressure.

Explanation:

A white dwarf is a low luminosity exposed core of a dead star having mass comparable to the sun but volume comparable to the earth . So its density is very high . These stars have lost the capacity to generate energy through the process of fusion . Due to high gravitational energy , it goes on shrinking but ultimately balanced by electron degeneracy pressure. It is not a main sequence star as it has lost the power of fusion .

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567

Lynna [10]

Answer:

IMA of given system = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

Explanation:

The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .

Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by $F_{r}$ . The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. $F_{e}$ .

Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .
Its mathematical reference would be:

IMA = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance

Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.
