Answer: D. fusion of hydrogen

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

The reactions which takes place in sun follows a series of equations:

$_1^1\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow 1^2\textrm{H}+_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}\\\\_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow 2^3\textrm{He}+\text{energy}\\\\_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$

Overall reaction for the above series of reactions is given by:

$4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$

Suppose that the space shuttle Columbia accelerates at 14.0 m/s2 for 8.50 minutes after takeoff.

givi [52]

Answer:

A. speed = 7.14 Km/s

B. distance = 1820.7 Km

Explanation:

Given that: a = 14.0 m/ $s^{2}$ , t = 8.50 minutes.

But,

t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60

= 510 seconds

A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

So that,

v = 14 x 510

= 7140 m/s

The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.

B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.

s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ a $t^{2}$

where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

s = $\frac{1}{2}$ a $t^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 14 x $(510)^{2}$

= 7 x 260100

= 1820700 m

The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is 1820.7 Km.

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at 12.8 m/s2 . At t1 the rocket e

Simora [160]

Answer:4.39 s

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity $u=0$

acceleration $a=12.8 m/s^2$

velocity acquired by sled in $t_1$ time

$v=0+at$

$v=12.8t_1$

distance traveled by sled in $t_1 s$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(12.8t_1)^2-0=2\times 12.8\times s_1$

$s_1=6.4\cdot t_1^2$

distance traveled in $t_2$ time with velocity $v=12.8t_1$

$s_2=v\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\times t_1\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\cdot t_1\cdot t_2$

$s_1+s_2=5.37\times 10^3$

$6.4t_1^2+12.8t_1t_2=5370$ ----1

$t_1+t_2=97.7 s$

$t_2=97.7-t_1$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in 1

we get

$6.4t_1^2-1250.56t_1+5370=0$

thus $t_1=\frac{1250.56-1194.33}{12.8}=4.39 s$

$t_1=4.39 s$

Hydraulic brakes use Pascal’s principle. The driver exerts a force of 100 N on the brake pedal. This force is increased by the s

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pascal's law states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in a confined fluid, the pressure is equally distributed at every other point in the container.

The formulas that relate to this are given below:

P1 = P2 (since the pressures are equal throughout).

P2 is the pressure transmitted in the hydraulic system

N.B : P= Force/ Area

Therefore we have

F1/A1 = P2

F1= the force exerted by the driver = 100N

P2= 100/A1 N/m² or 100/A1 pa or 100/(101325× A1) atm
