It takes four hydrogen nuclei to create one helium nucleus in the proton–proton chain, which is the main energy source of the Su

n. If a single hydrogen nucleus has a mass of 1.6726×10−27 kg and a single helium nucleus has a mass of 6.6447×10−27 kg , how much mass is converted into energy to create three helium nuclei?

Answer:

0.1371 * 10 ^ -27 kg

Explanation:

From the question number of hydrogen nuclei used to form 3 Helium nuclei = 12 ( 4 * 3 )

mass of the 12 hydrogen nuclei = 12 *( 1.6726 *10^-27) = 20.0712 * 10 ^-27

mass of single helium = 6.6447 * 10 ^-27 kg

therefore the mass of the 3 helium = 3 *( 6.6447 *10 ^-27) = 19.9341 * 10 ^-27 kg

The mass difference between the hydrogen and the helium used

= (20.0712 * 10^ -27)  - (19.9341 * 10 ^-27) = 0.1371 * 10 ^ -27 kg

therefore 0.1371 * 10^-27 kg  is converted into energy to create the three helium nuclei

Give the molecular explanation of of surface tension
NeX [460]

Explanation:

The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules: A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions. A molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.

What are the functions of proteins in organisms?
lana [24]
Good morning. 
The only reason I answered this is because this question was looking lonely. Like, /desperate lonely/. Anywho, let's work. 

Proteins are biomolecules that have multiple jobs to do in an organism. Examples of their functions are below. 

1. They are used to transport molecules. 
2. They are used to place/store molecules. 
3. They are needed for movement of the cell.

Aiden takes 0.10 s to throw a baseball, which leaves his hand with a velocity of 40 m/s. The ball's acceleration is _____.
o-na [289]
Acceleration (A) = V(final)-V(initial)/TThe unit for acceleration is metres/second squared (m/s^2).

You're already given Velocity (V) = 40 m/s in the question, so just plug in the values.

A= 40/0.10
A= 400 m/s^2.

A chair is pushed forward with a force of 185 N. The gravitational force of earth on the chair is 155 N downward. The force of f
zhenek [66]

The net force on the chair is 100N

<u>Explanation:</u>

The free body diagram is attached below.

According to the condition,

when a downward gravitational force of 155N of earth acts then an equal opposite upward force of same magnitude also acts on the chair.

Therefore, the normal force acting on the chair is 155N

When a chair is pushed forward on a surface, then a frictional force also acts on it in opposite direction.

The net force acting on the chair is = F - f

Where,

F is the applied force

f is the force of friction

Net force = 155N - 55N

Fnet = 100N

Therefore, net force on the chair is 100N
