Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in liquid there will be two force is acting on the body.

First one force acting downward due to weight of the body.

And the second force acting on the object will be buoyant force.

If the object is not in equilibrium the apparent weight will be equal to net force acting on the object.

$F_{net} = W - F_b$

W is the weight of the object acting downward

Fb is the buoyancy force acting upward on the object.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

In a nuclear fusion reaction two 2H atoms are combined to produce one 4He.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a)= 0.025602u

b) = 23.848MeV

c) N = 1.546 × 10¹³

Explanation:

The reaction is

²₁H + ²₁H ⇄ ⁴₂H + Q

a) The mass difference is

Δm = 2m(²₁H) - m (⁴₂H)

= 2(2.014102u) - 4.002602u

= 0.025602u

b) Use the Einstein mass energy relation ship

The enegy release is the mass difference times 931.5MeV/U

E = (0.025602) (931.5)

= 23.848MeV

the number of reaction need per seconds is

N = Q/E

= 59W/ 23.848MeV

$= \frac{59}{(23.848 \times 10^6 )(1.6 \times 10^1^9) } \\\\= 1.546 \times 10^1^3$

N = 1.546 × 10¹³

What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond pluto that was given the designation 1996 tl 66. it has a semimajor axis of

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, $a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e $T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

where G is gravitational constant

M is mass of sun, $M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg$

So, $T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}$

$T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s$

$T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s$

since, $1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years$

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?

BabaBlast [244]

You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

Again, the answer is A.
