Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

A 1200 Kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45m. If the coefficient of static friction between the ties and the road is us = 0.8
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The greatest speed of the car is 19.36m/s

Explanation:

The maximum speed the car will attain without skidding is given by:

F= uN = umg ...eq1

But F = mv^2/r

mv^2/r = umg

Dividing both sides by m, leaves you with:

V= Sqrt(ugr)

Where u = coefficient of static friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = raduis

Given:

U = 0.82

r=0.82

g= 9.8m/s

V = Sqrt(0.82 × 9.8 × 45)

V = Sqrt(374.85)

V = 19.36m/s

Explain why engineers leave a gap in a concrete bridge (answer must relate to density)
seraphim [82]
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th
ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = 9.8\ m/s^2

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

                Kinetic energy K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2.

From above we know that -

   Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

                 \frac{1}{2}mv^2=\ mgh

                ⇒ v^2=\ 2gh

                ⇒ h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}

                ⇒ h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}

                ⇒ h=\ 29.88\ m

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m
