Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are defined as the reactions in which rearrangement of one or more substances gets converted to one or more different substances known as products. Energy is released in the reactions where energy of products is less than the energy of the reactants.

Nuclear reactions are the reactions in which atomic nucleus undergoes change and releases a huge amount of energy in the process. There are two types of nuclear reactions: Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Both the nuclear reactions releases a huge amount of energy.

From the given information above, we conclude that the correct option is Option D.

Which is a disadvantage of using wind as an energy source? Check all that apply.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: It may be unreliable.    

Explanation:

Harnessing wind a s a source of energy is very efficient and renewable. It does not produce any waste and is environment friendly energy resource because it is naturally occurring.

But it is unreliable. The wind is the motion of air from high pressure region to low pressure region. Thus, we cannot start or stop wind turbines to spin. It depends on the wind and its speed.

What forces shape the stars in galaxies? (Astronomy question, but didn't fit into any categories) PLEASE 
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Force of gravity

Explanation:

when the force of gravity pulls large gas clouds and dust together, the concentrated gas clouds and dust collapse under the force of gravity forming stars.

There are many galaxies out there in the universe, each galaxy has its own solar systems, stars, and collection of gas and dust. We (earth) belong to the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy got this name from the Romans. They called in 'via lactea', which directly translates to 'road of milk' because of the milky patch they saw at night.

Suppose you start an antique car by exerting a force of 258 N on its crank for 0.270 s. What angular momentum is given to the en
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

69.66 rad/s

Explanation:

Suppose the handle of the crank is L = 1 m long. We can calculate the torque:

T = F*L = 258*1 = 258 Nm

Then the angular momentum is given to the handle within 0.27 seconds is

M_{\alpha} = T*t = 258*0.27 = 69.66 rad/s

"if the left-hand mass is 2.3 kg ,what should the right-hand mass be so that it accelerates downslope at 0.64 m/s2?"
VARVARA [1.3K]

m₁ = 2.3 kg <span>
θ₁ = 70° </span><span>
θ₂ = 17° </span><span>
g = 9.8 m/s² 

->The component of the gravitational force on m₁ that is parallel down the incline is: </span><span>
F₁ = m₁ × g × sin(θ₁) </span><span>
F₁ = (2.3 kg) × (9.8 m/s²) × sin(70°) = 21.18 N </span><span>

->The component of the gravitational force on m₂ that is parallel down the incline is: </span><span>
F₂ = m₂ × g × sin(θ₂) </span><span>
F₂ = m₂ × (9.8 m/s²) × sin(70°) = m₂ × (2.86 m/s²) </span><span>

Then the total mass of the system is: 
m = m₁ + m₂ </span><span>
m = (2.3 kg) + m₂ </span><span>

If it is given that m₂ slides down the incline, then F₂ must be bigger than F₁, </span><span>
and so the net force on the system must be: 
F = m₂×(2.86 m/s²) - (21.18 N) </span><span>

Using Newton's second law, we know that 
F = m × a 
So if we want the acceleration to be 0.64 m/s², then 
m₂×(2.86 m/s²) - (21.18 N) = [(2.3 kg) + m₂] × (0.64 m/s²) </span><span>
m₂×(2.86 m/s²) - (21.18 N) = (1.47 N) + m₂×(0.64 m/s²) </span><span>
m₂×(2.22 m/s²) = (22.65 N) </span><span>
m₂<span> = 10.2 kg</span></span>
