nuclear energy

Explanation:

The sunlight that reaches earth is generated by a transformation of nuclear energy. Radiant energy is a from of energy that reaches the earth from nuclear reactions in the core of the sun.

  • In this process, light nuclei combines to form larger ones through the process of nuclear fusion.
  • This process does not conserve energy and mass is converted to energy.
  • The nuclear reaction produces huge energy that goes into the solar system space and lights it up.
  • Therefore, it is a transformation of nuclear energy into radiant energy.
  • The radiant energy is made up of electromagnetic radiations.

S A block of mass M is connected to a spring of mass m and oscillates in simple harmonic motion on a frictionless, horizontal tr
Elina [12.6K]

The period of oscillation is T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( ( m2/3 + m1) / k )

<h3>What is period of oscillation?</h3>

This is the time in seconds it takes to complete one oscillation. where an oscillation is a repetitive to and fro motion. period if the inverse of frequency and both are basic when calculation motion in simple harmonic motion.

The period of oscillation is given as T

T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( m / k )

where

m = mass on this case mass of the spring will be inclusive to the mass of the block such that we have:

m1 = mass of the block

m2 = mass pf the spring

k = force constant of the spring

including the two masses to the period gives

T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( ( m2/3 + m1) / k )

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Answer: option B: conduction.

Conduction is the heat transfer that happens between two bodies in direct contact, due to the collision of the molecules, atoms and electrons within the body (microscopical level).

Magma from the mantle rises and flows out through a vent onto Earth's surface as lava. This molten material, sometimes along with ash, cinders, and rock, builds up a mountain around the vent. The vent and its mountain together are called a sediment.

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium? What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitation
JulijaS [17]

Question:

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?

A) the electromagnetic force and gravity

B) outward pressure and the strong force

C) outward pressure and inward gravity

D) the strong force and gravity

E) the strong force and kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity                                                        

Explanation:

Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.

As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance.   So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.

Why is gravitational equilibrium important?

The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Cheers!

According to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for ____________. According to the second law of thermodynamics,
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

It's impossible for an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.

Explanation:

Option A is incomplete and so it's possible.

Option B is possible

Option D is related to the first lae and has nothing to do with the second law.

Hence, the correct option is C.

The ideal engine follows a reversible cycle albeit an infinitely slow one. If the work is being done at this infinitely slow rate, the power of such an engine is zero.

We can also stat the second law of thermodynamics in this manner;

It is impossible to construct a cyclical heat engine whose sole effect is the continuous transfer of heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one.

This statement is known as second form or Clausius statement of the second law.

Thus, it is possible to construct a machine in which a heat flow from a colder to a hotter object is accompanied by another process, such as work input.
