The sun is a huge ball of gas it is not necessarily on fire.

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
<span>2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 </span>
<span>T2 = 3788.65N </span>
<span>so T1 from (1) </span>
<span>T1 = 5535.21N</span>

What color of light is scattered the most by the molecules in earth’s atmosphere?.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Blue light

Explanation:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves.

What is the peak emf generated (in V) by rotating a 1000 turn, 42.0 cm diameter coil in the Earth's 5.00 ✕ 10−5 T magnetic field
ELEN [110]

Answer:

5.77 Volt

Explanation:

N = 1000, Diameter = 42 cm = 0.42 m,  t = 12 ms = 12 x 10^-3 s

Change in magnetic field, B = 5 x 10^-5 T

The peak value of emf is given by

e = N x dФ / dt

e = N x A x dB/dt

e = (1000 x 3.14 x 0.21 x 0.21 x 5 x 10^-5) / (1.2 x 10^-3)

e = 5.77 Volt
