Celestial bodies in the universe like the stars, gain their energy by nuclear fusion. This is a nuclear reaction that emits radiation by joining subatomic particles together to yield another new element. This cause by instability of certain elements due to their high neutron-to-proton ratio. The most stable element there is, is Fe-26. Elements lighter than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fusion (combining), while elements heavier than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fission (breaking). 

So that is how the Sun gains its energy. It is very abundant in hydrogen, such that hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion. Two protons from two hydrogen atoms combine at very very high temperatures to form a Helium atom. Therefore, a high-mass star life is very abundant in Hydrogen, while a low-mass star life is very abundant in Helium.

What will one see during an annular eclipse?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse are the four different types of the eclipses. When the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, the annular eclipse occurs. The new moon is invisible from the earth and it is silhouetted against the sun, this can only be seen in annular eclipse. Annular word means ring shaped, we can see a dark ring of fire in annular eclipse. It has five different stages that are first contact, second contact, maximum eclipse, third contact and 4th contact.

A block of mass 12.2 kg is sliding at an initial velocity of 3.9 m/s in the positive x-direction. The surface has a coefficient
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force

R = mg where m is mass of the block

Force of friction F = μ x mg

= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8

= 20.68 N

b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so

deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²

acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²

c )

v² = u² - 2 a s

v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s

a = 1.7 m /s

0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s

s = 4.47  m

An 3.7 lb hammer head, traveling at 5.8 ft/s strikes a nail and is brought to a stop in 0.00068 s. The acceleration of gravity i
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

31677.2 lb

Explanation:

mass of hammer (m) = 3.7 lb

initial velocity (u) = 5.8 ft/s

final velocity (v) = 0

time (t) = 0.00068 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) 32 ft/s^{2}

force = m x ( a + g )

where

  • m is the mass = 3.7 lb
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s^{2}
  • a is the acceleration of the hammer

       from v = u + at

       a = (v-u)/ t

       a = (0-5.8)/0.00068 = -8529.4 ( the negative sign showa the its decelerating)

we can substitute all required values into force= m x (a+g)

force = 3.7 x (8529.4 + 32) = 31677.2 lb
