Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). ... A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

Gold has a specific heat of 0.130 J/g*C. If 195 joules of heat are added to 15 grams of gold how much does the temperature of th

Anna71 [15]

The correct answer to the question is : $100\ ^0C$

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the specific heat of gold is given as c = $0.130\ J/g^0C$

The heat given to the gold dQ = 195 J

The mass of the gold is given as m = 15 gram.

We are asked to calculate the change in temperature.

Let the change in temperature is dT.

We know that dQ = mcdT

$dT=\ \frac{dQ}{mc}$

$=\ \frac{195}{15\times 0.130}$

$=\ 100\ ^0C$ [ANS]

Hence, the change in temperature is 100 degree celsius.

4.5 billion km, the average separation between the sun and Neptune (report answer in hours). How long does it take light to trav

Liula [17]

Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

= 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

∴ t = d / V

= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

= 15,000 s

= 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h

Why smartphone and computer are called modern technology?

topjm [15]

Answer:

Hey

I am sure from what i know that your answer should be the following:

Modern technology is deeply tied to efficiancy and speed. Think of the knew 5G network it gives us very fast internet, or perhaps our very nessisitys such as our phone or cumputer. On a phone you have so much (thats to say you can acces alot easly); pictures videos dictionarys video games etc etc.

Answer:

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

Explanation:

An object's weigh due to the gravitational attraction force of the earth is:

w = mg

Where: m is the object's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration in the surface earth

g = 9.8 m/s2

The the ultralight car's weight is:

$w_{uc} = (540)(9.8)$

$w_{uc} = 5292 N$

And the Honda Accord's weight is:

$w_{HA} = (1450)(9.8)$

$w_{HA} = 14210 N$

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo

attashe74 [19]

Absolutely ! If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other. Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war.
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
