sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission and fusion are two processes at which an atomic nucleus is changed to produce energy. Fission is the process splitting heavy atomic into lighter atomic nuclei.

So, fusion is the combination of smaller atoms to form larger atoms and star uses this as source of energy.

Fusion is the process at which light atomic nuclei are merged or fused together to form heavier nuclei.

The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom.

One particular descent goes from 2100m to 1600m. Assuming work done against friction is 90% of the potential energy change of th
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1/2 M V^2 = .1 M g H       where 10% of PE goes into KE

V^2 = .2 g H = .2 * 9.8 * (2100 - 1600) = 980 m^2 / s^2

V = 31.1 m/s       increase in speed during descent

1 km / hr = 1000 m / 3600 sec = .278 m/s

V = 31.1 m/s / (.278 m/s / km /hr)= 112 km/hr

Andru [333]

Answer:

The change in temperature of 576.9°C will produce an elongation of 9 inches per feet in steel.

Explanation:

The formula for linear expansion of a material is:

ΔL = αLΔT

where, ΔL = change in length

             L = Original length

           ΔT = Change in temperature

             α = coefficient of linear expansion

For steel, α = 13 x 10^-6 /°C

                L = 100 ft

                ΔL = (9 in)(1 ft/12 in) = 0.75 ft

Therefore,

0.75 ft = (13 x 10^-6 /°C)(100 ft)ΔT

<u>ΔT = 576.9°C</u>

Why evaporation takes place from the Surface?​
ipn [44]

Answer:

in the water cycle evaporation occurs when the sunlight warms the surface of the water the heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster until they move so fast they can escape as a gas once evaporated a molecule from water that vapor spends about 10 days in the air
