The law of conservation of energy states that: "energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to the other". A heat pump transfers heat from a colder area to a warmer area. As the conservation of energy goes, the energy that comes in, must equal the energy that comes out. Although no machine is 100% efficient, the missing energy is supplied by an external energy source, such as electricity.

When hydrogen is fused into helium, energy is released from Choose one: A. the increase in pressure. B. the decrease in the grav
Tatiana [17]

The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.

What is nuclear fusion?

When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.

It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.

The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

A rainbow viewed from an airplane may form a complete circle. Where will the shadow of the airplane appear? Explain.
attashe74 [19]
The position of the sun must be at the horizon in order for the rainbow to appear.
The relative positions of the sun and plane make the rainbow appear as a full circle.
However, if the sun is at the horizon, the shadow of the plane will be behind the plane, not below it; this means that the shadow of the plane will not fall on the earth.

levacccp [35]
To calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the ball, we first calculate the total time it takes to reach the ground as follows:


t = √[2y/g] = <span>√[2(0.55) / 9.81]
t = 0.33 s

The horizontal distance would be

</span><span>X = Vx*t = 1.2*√[2*.55/9.8] = 0.4 m
</span>
Hope this helps.
