Answer:

B. Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion is the process in which small nuclei (such as hydrogen) fuse together into heavier nuclei (for example, helium). In such process, the final mass of the product is less than the sum of the masses of the initial nuclei, therefore the mass which 'disappeared' has been converted into energy, according to Einstein's equation:

E=\Delta m c^2

where

\Delta m is the difference of mass between products and reactants

c is the speed of light

Because c is a very large value (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s), the amount of energy released during nuclear fusion is very huge, even for very small masses. This is the process that occurs inside the core of a star, and because of that, stars are able to produce very huge amounts of energy.

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

Which statement correctly stated kepler's 3rd law of planetary motion?

We estimate the mass of the galaxy by observations of its ________ curve.
seropon [69]
The appropriate response is the rotation. There are most likely no less than 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. The Solar System is situated inside the circle, around 26,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inward edge of one of the winding molded centralizations of gas and tidies called the Orion Arm.

a 13-gram bullet, moving at 270 m/s, penetrates a 2 kg block of wood and emerges at a speed of 130 m/s. if teh block sits one a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

1.52m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute the given values into the formula

0.013(270)+2(130) = (270+130)v

3.51+260 = 400v

263.51 = 400v

v = 400/263.51

v = 1.52m/s

Hence the velocity after the bullet emerges is 1.52m/s

Which expression allows you to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(C) length / height of the plane

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be determined using different variables. In this case, the geometry of the setup is relevant. The advantage is proportional  to the length of the plane, and inversely proportional to the height: it is the ratio (length) / (height) of the plane. For example, given a desired, fixed height, a long inclined plane gives you a bigger mechanical advantage than a short inclined plane. In this example, pushing an object up the long plane will require a smaller force, than it would on the short plane.

Strictly speaking, (D) would also "allow you to determine the mechanical advantage" because you could simply invert the ratio listed under (D). However, (C) is the best, direct, answer.
