Answer:

Hydrogen used in fuel cells has the energy to weight ratio ten times greater than lithium-ion batteries. Consequently, it offers much greater range while being lighter and occupying smaller volumes. It can also be recharged in a few minutes, similarly to gasoline vehicles.

As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. ... Like low-mass stars, high-mass stars are born in nebulae and evolve and live in the Main Sequence

hydrogen shell burning - outer layers swell. Red Giant Branch - helium ash core compresses - increased hydrogen shell burning. First Dredge Up - expanding atmosphere cools star - stirs carbon, nitrogen and oxygen upward - star heats up.

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

A proposed communication satellite would revolve around the earth in a circular orbit in the equatorial plane at a height of 358
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Period is 86811.5 seconds.

Explanation:

{ \boxed{ \bf{T {}^{2} =  (\frac{4 {\pi}^{2} }{GM}) {r}^{3}   }}}

{ \tt{T {}^{2}  =  \frac{4 {(3.14)}^{2} }{(6.6 \times  {10}^{ - 11} ) \times (5.98 \times  {10}^{24} )} \times  {((35880\times  {10}^{3}) } + (6370 \times  {10}^{3} )) {}^{3}   }} \\  \\ { \tt{T {}^{2}  =  7.54 \times {10}^{9} }} \\ { \tt{T =  \sqrt{7.54 \times  {10}^{9} } }} \\ { \tt{T = 86811.5 \: seconds}}

How much work is required to move
Nikitich [7]
The work is path independent since we have a conservative force.

Thus W=d\cdot\frac{q\cdot U}{d^2}=\frac{3.0\cdot9.0}{0.010}=\boxed{2700 J}

A 300W hot plate produces 45,000 J of thermal energy while operating for 2 min. What is the efficiency of this devide? it need t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: P = 300 W   and t = 2 min = 120 s

Energy Q = Pt = 300 W · 120 s = 36 000 J.

Thus, plate can not produce 45 000 J heat.
