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 plane flies 1800 miles in 9 ​hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same​ route, now with a​ headwind, tak
Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

V_{plane} = 175 mph

v_{wind} = 25 mph

A van accelerates from 4m/s to 20m/s in 8s. How far does it travel in this time?​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

96 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 4 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 8 s

Let Acceleration be " a ".

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 4 ) / 8

= 16 / 8

a = 2 m/s²

Let displacement be " s ".

Formula : -

s = ut + at² / 2

s = ( 4 ) ( 8 ) + ( 2 ) ( 8² ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 64 ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 32 )

= 32 + 64

s = 96 m

Therefore, it travels 96 m in time 8 s.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

3.2075*10^16

Explanation:

Q=P/V just search up a converter and youll get 30V and so you do 15/30 which is a half and a single coulomb is 6.415*10^16 so you half it. I belive this is correct if you dont belive me wait for someone else smarter to answer and compare.
