Answer:

due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

The Sun is a star of great size, which due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

This radiation crosses the different layers of the Sun and escapes from it in the form of light that is emitted throughout the radiation spectrum, due to the temperature reached by the Sun about 5500K the most likely radiation is around 5500 nm corresponding to the green- yellow of the visible spectrum, but the entire spectrum is emitted with different intensity according to Stefan's law

In quantum mechanics this spectrum can also be analyzed as the emission of particles called photons, where each one is characterized by an energy and has a moment equal to zero, the energy of these photons is related to their frequency by the Planck equation

Which of the following statements best summarizes the first paragraph of this passage?

Fed [463]

Read the paragraph multiple times and find the main ideas and supporting details. Find what it is mostly about and compare the information you have to the statements and select the one most like yours. This is the best I can do without seeing any of the choices and the paragraph. Hope this helps! :)

When does PE equal KE?

dybincka [34]

PE equals KE when KE is 50%.

Like below:

E = PE + KE
E = 50 + 50
E = 100.

Remember, both KE and PE always have to add up to 100 so that is why PE is equal to KE when KE is 50% of energy.

Hope I helped. :)

A rocket in orbit just above the atmosphere is moving in uniform circular motion. The radius of the circle in which it moves is

Zinaida [17]

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula

$a_{cen}= \frac{v^2}{r}$

Since we know the value of the acceleration is 9.8 m/s² and we know r, we can solve for the speed, which is the magnitude of v. Note the value of a is just the acceleration due to gravity, which is what makes the rocket orbit and not fly off into space.

$9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}=\frac{v^2}{6.381 \times 10^6m} \\ \\ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 6.381 \times 10^6m=v^2 \\ \\ v= \sqrt{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 6.381 \times 10^6m} =24755 \frac{m}{s}$
