What is the source of the radioactivity in the sun

Physics
1 answer:
prisoha [69]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Fusion of Hydrogen to form Helium

Explanation:

The sun is a big ball of gas and it provides solar energy that drives external processes on the earth surface.

The pressure and temperature within the sun provides energy to fuse abundant hydrogen atoms together to form helium atoms. This nuclear fusion process releases a huge amount of energy.

The fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium is the source of radioactivity in the sun.

Sonbull [250]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Ian's total distance = (2km + 0.5km + 2.5km) = 5 km

Ian's total time = 3 hours

Average speed = (5km) / (3 hours)

Average speed = 1.66 km/hr

What is the amount of thermal energy needed to make 5 kg of ice at - 10 °C to
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

Explanation:

By First Law of Thermodynamics, we see that amount of thermal energy (Q), in joules, is equal to the change in internal energy. From statement we understand that change in internal energy consisting in two latent components (U_{l,ice}, U_{l,steam}), in joules, and two sensible component (U_{s,w}), in joules, that is:

Q = U_{l,ice} + U_{s, w} + U_{s,ice} + U_{l,steam} (1)

By definitions of Sensible and Latent Heat, we expanded the formula:

Q = m\cdot (h_{f,w}+h_{v,w}+c_{ice}\cdot \Delta T_{ice}+c_{w}\cdot \Delta T_{w}) (2)

Where:

m - Mass, in kilograms.

h_{f,w} - Latent heat of fussion of water, in joules per kilogram.

h_{v,w} - Latent heat of vaporization of water, in joules per kilogram.

c_{ice} - Specific heat of ice, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

\Delta T_{ice} - Change in temperature of ice, measured in degrees Celsius.

\Delta T_{w} - Change in temperature of water, measured in degrees Celsius.

If we know that m = 5\,kg, h_{f,w} = 3.34\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}, h_{v,w} = 2.26\times 10^{6}\,\frac{J}{kg}, c_{ice} = 2.090\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, c_{w} = 4.186\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, \Delta T_{ice} = 10\,^{\circ}C and \Delta T_{w} = 100\,^{\circ}C, then the amount of thermal energy is:

Q = 15167500\,J

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

Place any object (textbook, pen, or eraser) on a floor what happens then​
Levart [38]

Answer:

The force of gravity on earth, no matter the object is approximately 9.8 m/ s2 . The reason the crumpled paper hits the ground first is because of air resistance. A crumpled piece of paper has less surface area than an piece of paper that is not crumpled. More surface area means more air resistance.
