Describe how elements are formed?

1 answer:

3 0

Elements are identified by the nuclei of the atoms of which they are made. For example, an atom having six protons in its nucleus is carbon, and one having 26 protons is iron. ... Heavy elements can be formed from light ones by nuclear fusion reactions; these are nuclear reactions in which atomic nuclei merge together. This is how they are formed

A uniformly charged sphere has a potential on its surface of 450 V. At a radial distance of 7.2 m from this surface, the potenti

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential of first sphere = 450 V

Radial distance = 7.2 m

If the potential of sphere =150 V

We need to calculate the radius

Using formula for potential

For 450 V

$V=\dfrac{kQ}{r}$

$450=\dfrac{kQ}{r}$ ....(I)

For 150 V

$150=\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}$ ....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

$\dfrac{450}{150}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ}{r}}{\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}}$

$3=\dfrac{(r+7.2)}{r}$

$3r=r+7.2$

$r=\dfrac{7.2}{2}$

$r=3.6\ m$

Hence, The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

A jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The values are

$v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2$

The thrust is

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

A wire is stretched right to its breaking point by a 5000 N force. A longer wire made of the same material has the same diameter

leva [86]

Answer:

Equal to 5000N

Explanation:

The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t

Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

$\Delta P = \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}$

where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends

$\mu$ is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

$Q=Av$ is the volumetric flow rate, with $A=\pi r^2$ being the section of the tube and $v$ the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

$\mu=0.001 Pa/s$ is the dynamic water viscosity at $20^{\circ}$

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

$Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s$

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

$\Delta P = 3200 Pa$

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.
