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.

PLEASE HELP HURRY!!

You don't need both. GPE is the gravitational potential energy caused by the fact that an object is not touching the ground of the earth. KE is caused by an object moving. This problem says that the bowling ball "sits" meaning that you only need the GPE because it's not moving and it is not touching the surface. You would use the GPE equation to find how much Potential energy an object has. If you want its velocity,  you would set the answer to the GPE equation equal to the KE equation to find its velocity.

Answer:

Explanation:

d = ½at²

d = ½(F/m)t²

d = ½(980/500)5²

d = 24.5 m

c. -98 m/s

The motion of the rock is a uniformly accelerated motion (free fall) with constant acceleration g=-9.8 m/s^2 (negative since it is downward). Therefore, we  can find its velocity using the following suvat equation

v=u+gt

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

For the rock in the problem,

u = 0

So, its velocity at t = 10 s is

v=0+(-9.8)(10)=-98 m/s

where the negative sign indicates that the velocity points downward.

d. -490 m

Since the motion is at constant acceleration, we can use another suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting:

u = 0

g=-9.8 m/s^2

t = 10 s

We find the rock's displacement:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(10)^2=-490 m

where the negative sign means the displacement is downward.
