Answer:

Fusion

Explanation:

The thermonuclear fusion(only occurs at extreme conditions of temperature and pressure like interiors of stars) of Hydrogen takes place in The Sun's core.

Every four hydrogen atoms combine to form a Helium atom with a release of 26.7Mev of energy.

On a large scale this amount of energy can be very huge.

It is calculated that tis proces has being going on for the past $5\times$ $10^{9}$ years and with the amount of Hydrogen left will be sufficient to keep it going for the same amount of time in the future.

After this process ends,the Sun's core which will be mostly Helium,will start to cool and collapse under its own gravity.

Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.

Unlike the idealized voltmeter, a real voltmeter has a resistance that is not infinitely large. part a a voltmeter with resistan

Margaret [11]

The EMF of the battery includes the force to to drive across its internal resistance. the total resistance:
R = internal resistance r + resistance connected rv
R = r + rv
Now find the current:
V 1= IR
I = R / V1
find the voltage at the battery terminal (which is net of internal resistance) using
V 2= IR
So the voltage at the terminal is:
V = V2 - V1
This is the potential difference vmeter measured by the voltmeter.

A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.310 m and then accelerates through this dista

Nastasia [14]

Answer:A)u =4.295m/s , B)a = 29.746m/s² C) F=3,153N

Explanation:

Using the kinematic expression

v² = u² - 2as

where

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

s = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity .

Given that he reaches a height of 0.940 m above the floor,

the final velocity = 0

Here, acceleration due to gravity is acting in opposite the initial direction of motion. So, a=-9.81 m/s.

v² = u² + 2as

0² - u² = 2 (- 9.81) × 0.940

- u² = 2 × - 9.81 × 0.920

- u² = -18.4428

cancelling the minus in both sides , we have that

u² = 18.4428

u = √18.4428

u =4.295m/s

(b) His acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. m/s2

Using v² = u² + 2as

where u = initial speed of basketball player before lengthening = 0 m/s,

v = final speed of basketball player after lengthening = 4.295m/s,

a = acceleration while straightening his legs

s = distance moved during lengthening = 0.310m

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²)/2s

a = (4.29m/s)² - (0 m/s)²)/(2 × 0.310m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s² - 0 m²/s²)/(0.62 m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s²/(0.62 m)

a = 29.746m/s²

c) The force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 106 kg. N

Force= mass x acceleration.

F = 106 kg X 29.746m/s²

F = 3,153.076 rounded to 3,153N

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$v=0.9833\ c$

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side, b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 $kg/m^3$

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184= \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033= 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

$v=0.9833\ c$

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis has a constant angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s2. In a 4.0-s interval the wheel turns throu

anastassius [24]

Answer:

a. 3 s.

Explanation:

Given;

angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 4 rad/s²

time of wheel rotation, t = 4 s

angle of rotation, θ = 80 radians

Apply the kinematic equation below,

$\theta = \omega_1 t \ + \ \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\80 = 4\omega_1 + \frac{1}{2}*4*4^2\\\\80 = 4\omega_1 + 32\\\\ 4\omega_1 = 48\\\\ \omega_1 = \frac{48}{4}\\\\ \omega_1 = 12 \ rad/s$

Given initial angular velocity, ω₀ = 0

Apply the kinematic equation below;

$\omega_1 = \omega_o + \alpha t_1\\\\12 = 0 + 4t\\\\4t = 12\\\\t = \frac{12}{4}\\\\t = 3 \ s$

Therefore, the wheel had been in motion for 3 seconds.

a. 3 s.
