Great Question! I happened to be a physics nerd!
Answer:
C. Two hydrogen nuclei, each with only one proton, fuse to form deuterium, a form of hydrogen with one proton.
MAKE SURE TO SEE EXPLANATION!
Explanation:
In the core of the Sun, or any other main sequence star, there is no single fusion process. Instead, complex sequences of processes occur to make helium nuclei from hydrogen nuclei (i.e. protons). The proton-proton chain provides for the majority of energy generation in stars with masses less than that of the Sun. One difficulty in creating a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) is that there are only protons to begin with. Some protons must be turned into neutrons in some way. The first step is to combine two protons to form a deuterium nucleus (also known as a deuteron). That's a hefty hydrogen nucleus with one proton and one neutron. Such a proton-proton contact is highly unlikely, and it has never been detected in a laboratory. Fortunately, the Sun's core is incredibly hot and dense, with an incredible number of protons packed inside. Even a low likelihood event will occur every now and again. Along with each deuteron, a positron (an "anti-electron") and a neutrino are created. Because the Sun's core is plasma, there are a lot of free electrons, thus the positron doesn't live long until it and an electron collide and annihilate, resulting in gamma radiation. The deuteron then interacts with a proton to form a helium 3 nucleus. That is a high-probability interaction, and it occurs swiftly. Two helium 3 nuclei join in the third phase to generate a helium 4 ("regular" helium) nucleus and a proton. Branch I of the proton-proton (p-p) chain is responsible for this. Another stage is required because reactions between helium 3 and helium 4 nuclei are possible. There are two conceivable reactions (named Branch II and Branch III), and I'll save you the gory details. It gets much more complicated since theoretical calculations indicate that a reaction between a helium 3 nucleus and a proton is feasible — Branch IV. This reaction has an incredibly low likelihood of occurring, far lower than the Branch I reaction, thus it must be exceedingly rare. The Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) Cycle is another method for reducing hydrogen to helium. It does not generate much energy in the Sun, but it is the principal energy generation mechanism in larger stars.
If you were given distance & period of time, you would be able to calculate the speed.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2 omitting signs
a) at t = 0 x = 1.6 m
b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t
at t = 0 V = 0
c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4 (at t = 0 A = 3.4 m/s^2)
d) x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5 (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)
Answer: 148348.6239 kg•m/s
Explanation: Firstly, we need to convert the 14700 N into kilograms, and to do so, use the formula net force is equal to mass times acceleration and rearrange the formula to find mass like shown below...
F = ma
F/a = m
14700/9.81 = 1498.470948 kg, this is your mass
Now that we convert it into kilograms, plug all the numbers into the variable of the momentum formula.
Momentum formula is P = mass x velocity
Like this:
P = 1498.470948 x 99
p = 148348.6239 kg•m/s.
I believe that is your answer, hope that helps you even a bit out.
Thanks.
