Answer:
I1 = ε/R1
I2 = ε/R2
I3 = ε/R3
Explanation:
From the image, we see that the resistors are connected in parallel. This means that the voltage passing through them is the same.
Now, formula for current is; I = V/R
In this case, V which is voltage is denoted by ε.
Thus;
I1 = ε/R1
I2 = ε/R2
I3 = ε/R3
8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission. Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together. It's really the nucleus of a helium atom. It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons. They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light) They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue. They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c². This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared. c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it. Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests) The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms. When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion). High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma. This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse. Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.
Answer:
The length of the solar day will get shorter.
Explanation:
- The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
- Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
- If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.
Answer:
2.24 seconds
Explanation:
xf = xo + vo t + 1/2 at^2
45 = 0 + 15 t + 1/2 (4.5) t^2
2.25 t^2 + 15t - 45 = 0 Quadratic formula shows t = 2.24 seconds
The amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same because energy cannot be created or destroyed. From the law conservation of energy; any time energy is transferred between two objects, or converted from one form into another, no energy is created and none is destroyed. The total amount of energy involved in the process remains the same.
