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 is the correct order of events at a power plant?

GalinKa [24]

The correct answer is A.

A power station works on the principle of boiling water to create steam, which turns a turbine, generating a potential difference in a transformer with the magnets. The transformer is connected to a circuit, which hence induces a current, generating power.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{2I}{c}$

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

$P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

So, the radiation pressure is $2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$ .

serg [7]

An object is lifted from the surface of a spherical planet to an altitude equal to the radius of the planet.

As a result, the object's mass remains the same, and its weight decreases to 1/4 of whatever it is when the object is on the planet's surface.
