What is the proton-proton chain reaction? Describe this process

Physics
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Proton proton chain reaction involves the fusion of two hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Two protons combine together to form a deuterium nucleus, a neutrino and a positron.

This deuterium will then combine with another hydrogen to form a helium isotope with mass number three and gamma rays.

Now two helium isotopes combine to form a helium 4 nucleus and two protons.

These two protons will once again initiate another proton proton cycle.

These are called thermonuclear fusion reactions. They are responsible for the heat and light that are received from sun .

Proton proton cycle happens in all stars primarily.

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.

You are standing 30 m from a window that is 30 m off the ground. Your friend tries to toss you something, but only throws it str
pochemuha

Answer:

minimum initial velocity is 21.35 m/s

Explanation:

given data

distance S = 30 m

height h = 30 m

maximum acceleration a = 2 m/s²

to find out

minimum initial velocity that your friend could have thrown the object to enable you to catch

solution

first we get here time with the help of second equation of motion

time = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{a} }  ..................1

put her value we get

time = \sqrt{\frac{2*30}{2} }

time = 5.477 second

and that is time which tossed object must be take so we apply here again second equation of motion that is

-S = ut - 0.5 × gt²   .......................2

-30 = u× 5.477 - 0.5 ×9.8×5.477²

solve it we get

u = 21.35 m/s

so minimum initial velocity is 21.35 m/s

Reika [66]

Explanation:

PE= mgh

6 J= (3m) (9.81 m/s2) (mass)

mass=( 6)/(3×9.81)

mass= 0.20 Kg

A parallel circuit contains four identical lamps. The current through the energy source is 4 A. The total resistance of the circ
TEA [102]

Answer:

b. 40V , 40V

Explanation:

Connections are as per the figure.

As total current through source is 4A , current through each lamp is 1A.

As total resistance of the circuit is 10Ω ,resistance of each bulb is 40Ω because in case of a parallel circuit in which identical objects are connected , R_{eff} = \frac{R}{n} where R is the resistance of each bulb and n is the number of bulbs.

As per Ohm's law , voltage of the source =IR = 4×10 =40V.

We can see from the figure that if the voltage across the source is 40V , the voltage across each bulb is also 40V.
