One might imagine that if energy generation by nuclear fusion were to increase in a star, this would heat the gas, which would i

n turn increase the rate of nuclear fusion, and so forth in a runaway cycle of increasing temperature. What process acts in a normal main-sequence star to prevent this behavior?

Answer:

Explanation:

Increased energy generation will cause a temperature increase which will eventually cause expansion and hence cooling of the gas. This slows down the nuclear fusion.

A 3.2 kg particle starts from rest at x = 0 and moves under the influence of a single force Fx = 4 + 15.7 x − 1.5 x 2 , where Fx
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work: This can be defined as the product of force and distance. The unit of work is Joules (J). it can be expressed mathematically as

W = F×d

or

W = \int\limits^b_a {Fx} \, dx.................................. Equation 1

Where b = upper limit, a = lower limit, Fx = expression of force.

<em>Given: a = 0 , b = 1.3 m, Fx = 4 + 15.7x - 1.5x²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

<em>W = \int\limits^a_b {(4 + 15.7x - 1.5x^{2} )dx} \,</em>

W = ᵇ[4x + 15.7x²/2-1.5x³/3 +C]ₐ

Work = upper limit - lower limit

Work = ᵃ[4x + 15.7x²/2 - 1.5x³/3 +C] - [4x + 15.7x²/2 + 1.5x³/3 +C]ᵇ............... Equation 2

Substituting the values of a and b into equation 2

Work = [4(1.3) + 15.7(1.3)²/2-1.5(1.3)³/3 + C] - [0 +C]

Work = [5.2 + 26.53 -3.29 + C] - C

Work = 28.44 J

Work done by the force = 28.44 J.

A hot copper pan is dropped into at tub of hot water. If the water's temperature rises, what happens to the temperature of the p
choli [55]

Explanation:

As it is given that hot pan of copper is dropped into a tub of hot water and the temperature of water rises. This means that heat from the pan has been released and this heat is gained by water.

As a result, temperature of copper pan has decreased and this decrease will continue till the time temperature of both copper pan and water will reach the same temperature.

As thermal energy is defined as the energy in which when two objects come in physical contact with each other then no exchange of heat energy will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature of both copper pan and water will be equal then it means that both of them has reached thermal equilibrium.

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?
joja [24]
<span>a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest  stage


b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage


c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage


d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

Answer: option a)
