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

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi
elena55 [62]
The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}
where
\omega_f is the final angular speed of the object
\omega_i is its initial angular speed
\Delta t is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, \omega_f=11.1 rad/s, \omega_i = 0 and \Delta t=2.99 s, so its angular acceleration is
\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2

How does a compass, which contains a magnetized needle, tell direction?
slavikrds [6]
<h2>Answer::</h2>

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.','.

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass
o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

  • The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
  • It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
  • Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Which is an example of an abiotic factor in a pound environment
zvonat [6]
A. The water

Biotic factors mean living this such as frogs, grasshoppers, snakes, etc.

Aboriginal factors means non-living such as water, temperature, sunlight, etc.
Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that have a major influence on living organisms which makes water an abiotic factor.

Hope this helped, if it did please like (if you want to :)
