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

A 4-kg toy car with a speed of 5 m/s collides head-on with a stationary 1-kg car. After the collision, the cars are locked toget
mihalych1998 [28]

Kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Mass, m_{1} = 4 kg

Speed, v_{1} = 5 m/s

m_{2} = 1 kg

v_{2} = 0

Speed after collision = 4 m/s

Kinetic energy lost, K×E = ?

During collision, momentum is conserved.

Before collision, the kinetic energy is

\frac{1}{2} m1 (v1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} m2(v2)^2

By plugging in the values we get,

KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * (5)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 1 * (0)^2\\\\KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * 25 + 0\\\\

K×E = 50 J

Therefore, kinetic energy before collision is 50 J

Kinetic energy after collision:

KE = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 1) * (4)^2 + KE(lost)

KE = 40J + KE(lost)

Since,

Initial Kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

50 J = 40 J + K×E(lost)

K×E(lost) = 50 J - 40 J

K×E(lost) = 10 J

Therefore, kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)

What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning
konstantin123 [22]
Both verbs come from Olde English. 
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.


"Waxing"  =  growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.


"Waning"  =  shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.
