If there is no oxygen in outer space, and, at the same time, oxygen must be present for fire, where does the sun come from?​

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.

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 10^7 m/s to 4.0 × 10^7 m/s over a distanc
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

À A car moves with an initial velocity of 18 m/s due north. Find the velocity of the car after 7 Os if
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

(a) v_f=28.5m/s

(b) v_f=7.5m/s

Explanation:

Hello.

(a) In this case since the car is moving at an initial velocity of 18 m/s due north, the final velocity is computed considering the acceleration as positive since it is due north as well:

v_f=v_0+at=18m/s+1.5m/s^2*7s\\\\v_f=28.5m/s

(b) In this case, since the car is moving due north by the acceleration is due south it is undergoing a slowing down process, thereby the acceleration is negative therefore the final velocity turns out:

v_f=v_0+at=18m/s-1.5m/s^2*7s\\\\v_f=7.5m/s

Best regards.

A 0.12-kg metal rod carrying a current of current 4.1 A glides on two horizontal rails separation 6.3 m apart. If the coefficien
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field is B  =  8.20 *10^{-3} \  T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the metal rod is  m  = 0.12 \ kg

    The current on the rod is  I  = 4.1 \ A

    The distance of separation(equivalent to length of the rod ) is L   = 6.3 \ m

     The coefficient of kinetic friction is \mu_k  =  0.18

      The kinetic frictional force is  F_k  = 0.212 \ N

     The constant speed is v  = 5.1 \ m/s

Generally the magnetic force on the rod is mathematically represented as  

      F  =  B * I  *   L

For  the rod to move with a constant velocity the magnetic force must be equal to the kinetic frictional force so

        F_ k  =  B*  I  *  L

=>      B  =  \frac{F_k}{L  *  I  }

=>       B  =  \frac{0.212}{ 6.3   *  4.1   }

=>       B  =  8.20 *10^{-3} \  T
