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

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

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

$E = 13.428 \times 10^{46} J$

The IRB at the university will decide whether her study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The importance of these codes of conduct is to safeguard research participants, the status of psychology and the researchers or psychologists themselves. Moral issues hardly yield a simple, unequivocal, right or wrong answer. It is consequently often a matter of judgment whether the research is justified or not. For instance, it might be that a study roots psychological or physical uneasiness to participants, maybe they agonize pain or maybe even come to solemn harm.

On a distant planet, a rock falls in 48.4 s from the top of a 1.10e+02 m cliff to the planet surface below. What is the accelera

pav-90 [236]

this can be solve using the formala of free fall

t = sqrt( 2y/ g)

where t is the time of fall

y is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity

48.4 s = sqrt (2 (1.10e+02 m)/ g)

G = 0.0930 m/s2

The velocity at impact

V = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt( 2 ( 0.0930 m/s2)( 1.10e+02 m)

V = 4.523 m/s

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is $150\,^{\circ}C$ . According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)$ (1)

Where:

$\rho_{k}$ - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$V_{k}$ - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

$c_{k}$ , $c_{t}$ - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

$T_{k,o}$ , $T_{t,o}$ - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T$ - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

$V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}$

If we know that $m_{t} = 1.83\,kg$ , $c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C$ , $T = 57\,^{\circ}C$ , $c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ and $\rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

$V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}$

$V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}$

$V_{k} = 0.273\,L$

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Which properties do metalloids share with metals?

Inga [223]

Metals are not brittle so it can’t be the first one or the third one, both metalloids and metals are shiny so it can’t be the second one. Therefore, it would be the last one because both metalloids and metals are shiny and both are solids at room temperature because it is not a high enough melting point.

ANSWER: Both are shiny and are solid at room temperature.
