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

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (see fi
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a

The  radial acceleration is  a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

b

The horizontal Tension is  T_x  = 0.3294 i  \ N

The vertical Tension is  T_y  =3.3712 j   \ N

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

   The length of the string is  L =  10.7 \ cm  =  0.107 \ m

     The mass of the bob is  m = 0.344 \  kg

     The angle made  by the string is  \theta  =  5.58^o

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

         F  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

     F  =  Tsin \theta where T is the tension on the rope  and v is the linear velocity  

     So

          Tsin \theta  =   \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is  mathematically represented as

          Tcos \theta = mg

So

       \frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta }  =  \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}

=>    tan \theta  =  \frac{v^2}{rg}

=>   g tan \theta  = \frac{v^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration  of the bob is mathematically represented as

      a_c  =  \frac{v^2}{r}

=>  a_c  = gtan \theta

substituting values

     a_c  =  9.8  *  tan (5.58)

     a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

     T_x  = Tsin \theta = ma_c

substituting value

   T_x  = 0.344 *  0.9574

    T_x  = 0.3294 \ N

The vertical component of  tension is  

    T_y  =  T \ cos \theta  = mg

substituting value

     T_ y  =  0.344 * 9.8

      T_ y  = 3.2712 \ N

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is  

         

       T  = T_x i  + T_y  j

substituting value  

      T  = [(0.3294) i  + (3.3712)j ] \  N

A 5.10 kgkg watermelon is dropped from rest from the roof of a 18.5 mm-tall building and feels no appreciable air resistance.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>
  • Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
  • The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system

W = \Delta PE

W = mg (h₀ - h₁)

W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5

W = 924.63 J

Light in the air is incident at an angle to the surface of (12.0 A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (
Orlov [11]

The question is incomplete. You dis not provide values for A and B. Here is the complete question

Light in the air is incident at an angle to a surface of (12.0 + A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (1.10 + (B/100)). What is the angle between the surface and the light ray once in the glass? Give your answer in degrees and rounded to three significant figures.

A = 12

B = 18

Answer:

18.5⁰

Explanation:

Angle of incidence i = 12.0 + A

A = 12

= 12.0 + 12

= 14

Refractive index u = 1.10 + B/100

= 1.10 + 18/100

= 1.10 + 0.18

= 1.28

We then find the angle of refraction index u

u = sine i / sin r

u = sine24/sinr

1.28 = sine 24 / sine r

1.28Sine r = sin24

1.28 sine r = 0.4067

Sine r = 0.4067/1.28

r = sine^-1(0.317)

r = 18.481

= 18.5⁰

adell [148]

Answer:

A boxed 14.0 kg computer monitor is dragged by friction 5.50 m up along the moving surface of a conveyor belt inclined at an angle of 36.9 ∘ above the horizontal. The monitor's speed is a constant 2.30 cm/s.

how much work is done on the monitor by (a) friction, (b) gravity

work(friction) = 453.5J

work(gravity) = -453.5J

Explanation:

Given that,

mass = 14kg

displacement length = 5.50m

displacement angle = 36.9°

velocity = 2.30cm/s

F = ma

work(friction) = mgsinθ .displacement

                      = (14) (9.81) (5.5sin36.9°)

                       = 453.5J

work(gravity)

= the influence of gravity oppose the motion of the box and can be pushing down, on the box from and angle of (36.9° + 90°)

= 126.9°

work(gravity) = (14) (9.81) (5.5cos126.9°)

                      = -453.5J
