e did the elements heavier than hydrogen and helium come from? The terrestrial planets are made almost entirely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. According to modern science, where did the elements heavier than hydrogen and helium come from? They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born. They have been present in the universe since its birth. They were produced by gravity in the solar nebula as it collapsed. They were made by chemical reactions in interstellar gas.

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)

A student discovers that sound waves travel 1,687.5 meters in 5 seconds through air at a temperature of 10°C. Based on this info
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

distance traveled by sound, d = 1,687.5 meters

time taken for the sound to travel, t = 5 seconds

air temperature, θ = 10°C

Speed of sound = distance traveled by sound / time taken for the sound to travel

Speed of sound = d / t

                           = 1687.5 m / 5 s

                           = 337.5 m/s

Speed of sound at the given temperature is calculated as;

c = 337.5 + 0.6θ

c = 337.5 + 0.6 x 10

c = 337.5 + 6

c = 343.5 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

A circuit contains two 1.5 volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms. Calculate the current
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

<em>The current is 1 A</em>

Explanation:

<u>Current in a Series Connection </u>

When two or more elements are connected in series, all of them have the same current, and the sum of their individual voltages is the total voltage applied to the circuit.

According to Ohm's law:

V=R.I

Where V is the voltage, R is the resistance and I is the current of a circuit.

We have a voltage of V=1.5 V + 1.5 V = 3 V and a resistance of R=3 ohms.

We can calculate the current by solving for I:

\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{3}{3}=1\ A

The current is 1 A

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and  principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese
lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:


efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100


Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40% 

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20% 


Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
