Answer:

B. Gravity compresses gases at the center of a solar nebula until temperatures are high enough for nuclear fusion to occur.

Explanation:

Stars are born in stellar nurseries known as nebula. Sun, the star at the center of the solar system was born in the solar nebula.

Nebula is a molecular cloud of dust and gases. Due to gravity, this cloud collapses under its own weight and condenses to form the core. It gathers more mass till the temperature of the core rises enough to start the nuclear fusion reaction. A star is born then.

Compute the power output (watts) during one minute of treadmill exercise, given the following: Treadmill grade-10% Horizontal sp

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

c. 981 watts

$P=981\ W$

Explanation:

Given:

horizontal speed of treadmill, $v=100\ m.min^{-1}=\frac{5}{3} \ m.s^{-1}$

weight carried, $w=588.6\ N$

grade of the treadmill, $G\%=10\%$

Now the power can be given by:

$P=v.w$

$P=588.6\times\frac{5}{3}$ (where grade is the rise of the front edge per 100 m of the horizontal length)

$P=981\ W$

For Part A, Sebastian decided to use the copper cylinder. How would the magnitude of his q and ∆H compare if he were to redo Par

Vitek1552 [10]

The magnitudes of his q and ∆H for the copper trial would be lower than the aluminum trial.

The given parameters;

initial temperature of metals, = $T_m$
initial temperature of water, = $T_i$
specific heat capacity of copper, $C_p$ = 0.385 J/g.K
specific heat capacity of aluminum, $C_A$ = 0.9 J/g.K
both metals have equal mass = m

The quantity of heat transferred by each metal is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔt

For copper metal, the quantity of heat transferred is calculated as;

$Q_p = (m_wc_w + m_pc_p)(T_m - T_i)\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + (T_m - T_i)(m_pc_p)\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + 0.385m_p(T_m - T_i)\\\\m_p = m\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + 0.385m(T_m - T_i)\\\\let \ (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) = Q_i, \ \ \ and \ let \ (T_m- T_i) = \Delta t\\\\Q_p = Q_i + 0.385m\Delta t$

The change in heat energy for copper metal;

$\Delta H = Q_p - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = (Q_i + 0.385m \Delta t) - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = 0.385 m \Delta t$

For aluminum metal, the quantity of heat transferred is calculated as;

$Q_A = (m_wc_w + m_Ac_A)(T_m - T_i)\\\\Q_A = (T_m -T_i)(m_wc_w) + (T_m -T_i) (m_Ac_A)\\\\let \ (T_m -T_i)(m_wc_w) = Q_i, \ and \ let (T_m - T_i) = \Delta t\\\\Q_A = Q_i \ + \ m_Ac_A\Delta t\\\\m_A = m\\\\Q_A = Q_i \ + \ 0.9m\Delta t$

The change in heat energy for aluminum metal ;

$\Delta H = Q_A - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = (Q_i + 0.9m\Delta t) - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = 0.9m\Delta t$

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitudes of his q and ∆H for the copper trial would be lower than the aluminum trial.
