A) 3.6\cdot 10^5 J

The power used by an object is defined as

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have

P = 100 W is the power of the light bulb

t = 1 h = 3600 s is the time elapsed

Solving for E, we find the amount of energy used by the light bulb:

E=Pt = (100 W)(3600 s)=3.6\cdot 10^5 J

B) 1.1 \cdot 10^2 m/s

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass

v is the speed of the object

In this problem, we have a man of mass

m = 65 kg

we want its kinetic energy to be

E=3.6\cdot 10^5 J

Therefore, we can calculate its speed from the previous formula:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.6\cdot 10^5 J)}{65 kg}}=105.2 m/s = 1.1 \cdot 10^2 m/s

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki
Mila [183]

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away
