The sun, like all stars, releases energy through nuclear fusion. In this problem, you will find the total number of fusion react

ion events that occur inside the sun every second. You will be considering the proton-proton chain, in which four hydrogen nuclei are converted into a helium nucleus and two positrons. The net reaction for the proton-proton chain is
411H? 42He+2?+ .

To find the energy released by this reaction, you will need the following mass data:

mass of 11H=1.007825u

and

mass of 42He=4.002603u .

Using the masses of the neutral atoms in your calculation accounts for the energy released by the annihilation of the positrons with electrons, so you can work this problem without reference to the positrons or their rest mass.

a. What is the total energy Q released in a single fusion reaction event for the equation given in the problem introduction?

Answer:

Explanation:

DetaM=4 x 1.02875 - 4.002603

DetaM= 0.028697u

Using E= mc²

= 0.028697 x 1.49x*10^-10

= 4.2x10^-12J

Meg walks with a velocity of 0.9 m/s west. She does so while riding on a train that is traveling with a velocity of 2.7 m/s east
Shkiper50 [21]
<span>Velocities are vectors so we can add them!

Let's let +x be East and -x be West.

 -0.9 + 2.7 = 1.8
 
Since our answer is positive that means East so the answer is C.</span>

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect <span>a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.</span>

A wave is traveling through a medium. As it travels, it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is trave
Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer</u>

longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.


<u>Explanation</u>

There are 2 types of a wave, electromagnetic and mechanical wave. These waves can also be categorized into two, longitudinal ans transverse waves.

longitudinal wave is a wave whose particles vibration is in the direction of wave travel.

Transverse wave is a wave whose vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.

The mathematical symbol for period is<br> O A. A<br> O B. v<br> OC. T<br> O D. f
Advocard [28]

Answer: C. T

Explanation:

Period is a unit of time; and in the context of waves or oscillations it is defined as <em>"the </em><u><em>time </em></u><em>elapsed between two equivalent points on the wave or oscillation".</em>

<em />

It is important to note Period (denoted by T) is one of the most important factors (along with the amplitude, frequency and velocity) to describe and characterize a wave.

In addition, Period has an inverse relation with the frequency f, this means that if we are given the frequency of a wave, we can inmediatly know its Period.
