You are traveling on the interstate highway at a speed of 65 mph. What is your speed in km/h? The conversion factor is: 1.0 mph=

1.6 km/h.

You have to cross multiply. So set up the equation like 1.6/x = 1/65 then multiply x by 1 and 1.6 by 65. The answer is 104 km/h.

A circuit component with a high resistance will have a low electric current.
Zepler [3.9K]
You haven't said what 'high' resistance or 'low' current means, so there's way not enough info to nail the statement as true or false. The most precise answer is "certainly could be but not necessarily". Anyway, the current in the circuit depends on BOTH the resistance AND the voltage. So without knowing the voltage too, you can't say anything about the current.

What is the first step of thermonuclear fusion within the Sun to form helium-4?
hodyreva [135]

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.

What could you do to change the volume of a gas?
Lorico [155]
The ONLY way to change the volume of a sample of gas is to transfer it to a container with different volume.
Simply changing its temperature or pressure in the same jar won't do it. Any amount of gas always fills whatever container you keep it in.

A convex spherical mirror having a radius of curvature 18 cm (focal length = 1/2 radius of curvature for a spherical mirror) pro
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

distance between object and image =  18.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of curvature = 18 cm

focal length = 1/2 radius of curvature

magnification = 40%

to find out

distance between object and image

solution

we know lens formula that is

1/f = 1/v + 1/u     ....................1

here f = 18 /2 and v and u is object and image distance

and we know m = 40% = 0.40

so 0.40 = -v / u

so here v = - 0.40 u

so from equation 1

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

2/18 = - 1/0.40u + 1/u

u = -13.5 cm   ..................2

and

v = -0.40 (- 13.5)

v = 5.4 cm     ......................3

so from equation 2 and 3

distance between object and image =  5.4 + 13.5

distance between object and image =  18.9 cm

What value do we use to describe acceleration due to gravity
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Explanation:

In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.

Got it from the internet, hope it helps though ^^
