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.

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. The truck makes a left turn and travels 1.25 km west before makin
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19 km

tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2

\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

Water flows through a horizontal nozzle in steady flow at the rate of 10m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters are d1 = 0.5m and d2
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

P₁ = 2.215 10⁷ Pa, F₁ = 4.3 106 N,

Explanation:

This problem of fluid mechanics let's start with the continuity equation to find the speed of water output

        Q = A v

        v = Q / A

The area of ​​a circle is

       A = π r² = π d² / 4

Let's look at the speeds at each point

       v₁ = Q / A₁ = Q 4 /π d₁²

       v₁ = 10 4 /π 0.5²

       v₁ = 50.93 m / s

       v₂ = Q / A₂

       v₂ = 10 4 /π 0.25²

       v₂ = 203.72 m / s

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation in the colon

       P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Since the tube is horizontal y₁ = y₂. The output pressure is P₂ = Patm = 1.013 10⁵ Pa, let's clear

       P₁ = P2 + ½ rho (v₂² - v₁²)

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + ½ 1000 (203.72² - 50.93²)

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + 2.205 10⁷

      P₁ = 2.215 10⁷ Pa

la definicion de presion es

      P₁ = F₁/A₁

     F₁ = P₁ A₁

     F₁ = 2.215 10⁷ pi d₁²/4

     F₁ = 2.215 10⁷ pi 0.5²/4

     F₁ = 4.3 106 N

A solid disk has a mass of 162 kg and a radius of 1.30m. This
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

754.3 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the solid disk:

I = mR^2/2

Where m is the disk mass and R is the radius of the disk.

I = 162*1.3^2/2 = 136.89 kgm^2

The angular kinetic energy of the disk is then:

E_k = I\omega^2/2 = 136.89 * 18^2/2 = 22176.18 J

By law of energy conservation, this energy is converted to potential energy to pick up the 3kg block

let g = 9.8 m/s2

E_p = m_bgh = 22176.18 J

where m_b = 3 kg is the mass of block

3*9.8h = 22176.18

h = \frac{22176.18}{3*9.8} = 754.3 m

What is the element with the lowest electronegativity value?
Lerok [7]
<h2>Answer: Francium </h2>

Let's start by explaining that electronegativity is a term coined by Linus Pauling and is determined by the <em>ability of an atom of a certain element to attract electrons when chemically combined with another atom. </em>

So, the more electronegative an element is, the more electrons it will attract.

It should be noted that this value can not be measured directly by experiments, but it can be determined indirectly by means of calculations from other atomic or molecular properties of the element. That is why the scale created by Pauling is an arbitrary scale, where the maximum value of electronegativity is 4, assigned to Fluorine (F) and the <u>lowest is 0.7, assigned to Francium (Fr).</u>
