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 dog is 60m away while moving at constant velocity of 10m/s towards you. Where is the dog after 4 seconds?
evablogger [386]
20m away

the dog was 60m away from. you subtract 40m since it is 10m/s x 4 seconds

2. What is the water pressure at a depth of 24 m in a lake? [Density of water, p = 1 000 kg m- and gravitational acceleration, g
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Pressure = ρgh

pressure (p) is measured in pascals (Pa)

density (ρ) is measured in kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m3)

The fore of gravitational field strength (g) is measured in N/kg or m/s 2

height of column (h) is measured in metres (m)

Answer = 235,200 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = ρgh

Pressure = 1,000 x 9.8 x 24

Pressure = 235,200 Pa

A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters
scZoUnD [109]
I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
