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.

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The answer is "a, c and b"

Explanation:

Its total block power is equal to the amount of potential energy and kinetic energy.
Because the original block expansion in all situations will be the same, its potential power in all cases is the same.
Because the block in the first case has no initial speed, the block has zero film energy.
For both the second example, it also has the $v_o$ velocity, but the kinetic energy is higher among the three because its potential and kinetic energy are higher.
While over the last case the kinetic speed is greater and lower than in the first case, the total energy is also higher than the first lower than that of the second.
The greater the amplitude was its greater the total energy, therefore lower the second, during the first case the higher the amplitude.

.A hard rubber ball, released at chest height, falls to the pavement and bounces back to nearly the same height. When it is in c

ohaa [14]

Answer:

a = 1.1 10⁵ m / s²

Explanation:

This is a momentum exercise, where we use the relationship between momentum and momentum

I = ∫ F dt = Δp

= p_f - p₀

as they indicate that the ball bounces at the same height, we can assume that the moment when it reaches the ground is equal to the moment when it bounces, but in the opposite direction

F t = 2 (m v)

therefore the average force is

F = 2 m v / t

where in general the mass of the ball unknown, the velocity of the ball can be calculated using the conservation of energy

starting point. Done the ball is released with zero initial velocity

Em₀ = U = mgh

final point. Upon reaching the ground, just before the deformation begins

Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved in this system

Em₀ = Em_f

m g h = ½ m v²

v = √ (2gh)

This is the velocity of the body when it reaches the ground, so the force remains

F = 2m √(2gh) /t

where the height of the person's chest is known and the time that the impact with the floor lasts must be estimated in general is of the order of milli seconds

knowing this force let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

a = F / m

a = 2 √(2gh) / t

We can estimate the order of magnitude of this acceleration, assuming the person's chest height of h = 1.5 m and a collision time of t = 1 10⁻³ s

a = 2 √ (2 9.8 1.5) / 10⁻³

a = 1.1 10⁵ m / s²
