It is supernova! :D

A supernova is an astronomical concussion that momentarily surpasses the whole universe, emitting as many energy since the Day-Star(sun) practically any normal star is supposed to release across its whole lifespan, before it disappears from appearance over some weeks or periods.

A person travelled 350 m east from his home and returns back home an hour has displacement of_?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

vector of zero magnitude

Explanation:

The displacement is a vector magnitude, therefore, in addition to being a module, it has direction and sense.

In this case it moved 350 m and then returned the same 350 m, so the total displacement is zero.

If we draw the vector, one has a directional direction to the right and the other direction to the left, therefore when adding the two vectors gives a vector of zero magnitude

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because

maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as $E = mc^{2}$ where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

$H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

$H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy$

$He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

Here $e_{+1} ^{0}$ is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e $10^{6} K$

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

Scientists can use spectral analysis of stars to determine which of the following?

RoseWind [281]

I do believe all of these but core elements can be determined by spectroscopy which includes the use of electromagnetic radiation. Both the surface and core temperature can be measured using light. Surface elements can be found because the absorption lines of different elements in the spectra of the star, but I haven't heard anything about using spectral analysis for core elements.

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

$\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}$

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
