The Mass of the Sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kg. The speed of light is 3 x 10^8 m/s. Assuming the Sun is 75% hydrogen, how much Energy c

ould be produced if all of the hydrogen is converted into energy? Use Einstein's famous equation E = mc^2 where E will be in Joules.

Answer:

E = 13.428 \times 10^{46} J

Explanation:

Mass of the Sun = 1.989 \times 10^{30} Kg

Amount of Hydrogen = 75% of Mass of Sun,

thus mass of Hydrogen (m) in the Sun is,

m = 1.989 \times 10^{30} \times \frac{75}{100}

m = 1.492 \times 10^{30}

Speed of Light (c) = 3 \times 10^{8} m/s

Thus, energy(E) produced if whole of hydrogen is converted into energy,

E = mc²

E = 1.492 \times 10^{30} \times (3 \times 10^{8} )^{2}

E = 1.492 \times 9 \times 10^{46}

E = 13.428 \times 10^{46} J

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

A fixed 11.2-cm-diameter wire coil is perpendicular to a magnetic field 0.53 T pointing up. In 0.10 s , the field is changed to
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the wire, d = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 0.53 T

final magnetic field, B₂ = 0.24 T

time of change in magnetic field, t = 0.1 s

The induced emf in the coil is calculated as;

E = A(dB)/dt

where;

A is area of the coil = πr²

r is the radius of the wire coil = 0.112m / 2 = 0.056 m

A = π(0.056)²

A = 0.00985 m²

E = -0.00985(B₂-B₁)/t

E = 0.00985(B₁-B₂)/t

E = 0.00985(0.53 - 0.24)/0.1

E = 0.00985 (0.29)/ 0.1

E = 0.0286 V

Therefore, the average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

Which statement best explains why sound waves cannot travel through space
Naddika [18.5K]
The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there.
