Once carbon begins burning in the core of a high-mass star, the outer layers begin to fall inward, driving up the fusion rates a

sammy [17]

Answer:

Fusion rates and star evolution increase rapidly because of the conversion of hydrogen molecules to helium.

Explanation:

At the early stage of a star mass, hydrogen atoms are produced. After a few billion years, these hydrogen atoms formed at the core of the star mass begin to fuse on the external side of the core. Hydrogen atoms get rapidly fused, resulting to a contraction of the star core, and as more hydrogen atoms get fused, helium atoms are formed.

This action results into rapid into a rapid and violent burning action of hydrogen atoms around the core.

A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. A professional pitcher throws a baseball 67 mi/h, which is 30.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of

Kamila [148]

The concept of momentum tells us that it is equivalent to the product between the mass and the velocity of the object, that is to say that in general it can be written as

$p = mv$

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

$m = 0.145kg$

$v = 67mi/h = 30m/s$

Replacing we have that,

$p = (0.145)(30)$

$p = 12.45 kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore the magniude of the momentum of the pitched baseball is $12.45 kg\cdot m/s$

Under what conditions does q, the heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in

Paladinen [302]

Answer: When $w=-P\Delta V$

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.

$\Delta H=\Delta E+P\Delta V$

$\Delta E=q+w$

$\Delta H$ = change in enthalpy

P = pressure

$\Delta V$ = change in volume

$\Delta E$ =Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

w = work done on or by the system

$\Delta H=q+w+P\Delta V$

Thus for $\Delta E=q+w$ , $w=-P\Delta V$

The heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in enthalpy of the system when $w=-P\Delta V$

A pitcher throws a 0.144-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just

Solnce55 [7]

(a) 12.8 kg m/s

The impulse delivered by the bat on the baseball is equal to the change in momentum of the baseball:

$I=\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where we have

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

v = -47 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

u = 42 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

$I=(0.144 kg)(-47 m/s-(42 m/s))=-12.8 kg m/s$

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

$I=12.8 kg m/s$

(b) 2.78 kN

The impulse exerted on the ball is also equal to the product between the average force and the contact time:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

F is the average force exerted on the ball

$\Delta t=0.0046 s$ is the contact time

Solving the formula for F, we find

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{12.8 kg m/s}{0.0046 s}=2783 N = 2.78 kN$

(c) The force exerted on the ball is much larger (1988 times more) than the weigth of the ball

The weight of the ball is given by

$W=mg$

where

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving the equation for W, we find

$W=(0.144 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=1.4 N$

So as we see, the force exerted on the ball (2783 N) is almost 2000 times larger than the weight of the ball (1.4 N):

$\frac{F}{W}=\frac{2783 N}{1.4 N}=1988$
