Fusion you say ? Fusion ?

The products left over after fusion are:

-- Helium (harmless)

-- Hydrogen that never got fused

-- Water (from Hydrogen that combined with some stray Oxygen that leaked in)

(a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2. 35 s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the clif

Natali [406]

(a) The height of the cliff will be 8.26 meters.

(b) The time would it take to reach the ground will be 0.717 sec.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3><h3 />

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component.

(a) The height of the cliff will be 8.26 meters.

According to Newton's second equation of motion

$\rm H =ut-\frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ \rm H =8\times 2.35-\frac{1}{2} 9.81 (2.35)^2\\\\\rm H =8.16 \; m$

Hence The height of the cliff will be 8.26 meters.

(b)The time would it take to reach the ground will be 0.717 sec.

We must have the final velocity to find the time so;

$\rm v^2=u^2+2gh\\\\ \rm v^2=8^2+2\times 9.81 \times 8.6 \\\\ \rm v= \sqrt{8^2+2\times 9.81 \times 8.6}\\\\\rm v=15.03 \;m/sec$

According to Newton's third equation of motion ;

$\rm v=u-gt \\\\ \rm t=\frac{v-u}{g} \\\\ \rm t=\frac{15.03-8}{9.81} \\\\ \rm t=0.717 sec.$

Hence the time would it take to reach the ground will be 0.717 sec.

if quasars often resemble little blue stars, what was it about them that so surprised astronomers when they were discovered?

Anna11 [10]

Quasar is famous for being an intergalactic object which is billions of years away from the earth yet can still be seen, unlike the other star body, unlike giant galaxies.

Hence, the fact that quasars can be detected from distances where even the biggest and most luminous galaxies cannot be seen means that "they must be intrinsically far more luminous than the brightest galaxies."

This condition, including other related evidence gotten in recent years concerning our galaxy, has shown that quasars are probably the central nuclei of very distant, very active galaxies.

The surprising thing was that quasars and active galaxies have a lot of mass in the center of the very small volume of the space.

Therefore, the surprising thing about quasars was that due to this mass and energy they are 100 times more luminous than Milky Way which means they have high recession velocity and a very large amount of red-shifting.

A helium nucleus contains two protons and two neutrons. The mass of the helium nucleus is greater than the combined masses of tw

dsp73

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Actually, the converse is true. The mass number would be lower than the sum of the mass of the individual nucleons combined. According to Einstein’s equation of E=MC², this will be due to a phenomenon called mass defect. This ‘anomaly’ is due to the loss of some energy (now the nuclear binding energy) when the nucleons were brought in together to form the nucleus.

Using monochromatic light of 410 nm wavelength, a single thin slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an ang

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

c. 307 nm

Explanation:

angular position of first dark fringe = λ / d , λ is wavelength and d is width of slit .

(40 x π ) / 180 = 410 / d

angular position of second dark fringe = 2 x λ / d , λ is wavelength and d is width of slit .

(60 x π ) / 180 = 2 x λ / d

Dividing these equations

60 / 40 = 2 x λ / 410

λ = 307.5 nm.

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed

Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

$h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)$

$λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)$

$p \: photons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {} ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m }$

$= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s$

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

$pball = pphotons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg$

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s$

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$
