Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. a. True b. False

2 answers:

8 0

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle). READ THIS AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND I THINK IS TRUE

Answer : The given statement is True.

Explanation -

Nuclear fusion is a thermonuclear reaction in which light stable nuclei combine with each other in order to form a heavy stable nucleus with the release of large amount of energy.

In case of stars, four hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form a helium nucleus with a release of 26 Mev per cycle.

Thus, nuclear fusion occurs in stars is true statement.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10

STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

$P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}$

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi $(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi})$ = 379212 Pa

$\rho$ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}$

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

$\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}$

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = $\frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4}$ = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = $[\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m]$ = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

$t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\$

t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours

Challenge Problem (Extra Credit) A car with bad shocks has a mass of 1500 kg. Before you go for a drive with three of your frien

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

167.354 m

Explanation:

We are given;

The mass of the car with bad shock;

m = 1500 kg

The distance at which the car sinks; x =

6 cm = 6 × 10^(−2) m

The total mass of 4 people; m_t = 11 kg

The total speed in the highway; V = 65

mph = 29.058 m/s

The spring's constant can be calculated from the formula;

F = Kx

F is also equal to mg.

Thus;

m_t × g = Kx

K = (m_t × g)/x

K = (11 × 9.81)/(6 × 10^(−2))

K = 1798.5 N/m

Mass of car and four people;m_(c+t) = 1500 + 11 = 1511 kg

Thus, the period cam be calculated from the formula;

T = 2π√((m_c+t)/k)

T = 2π√(1511/1798.5)

T = 5.759 s

the distance between adjacent bumps is calculated from;

Velocity = distance/time

Distance = velocity x time

Distance = 29.058 × 5.759

Distance = 167.354 m

A proton enters a constant magnetic field of magnitude 0.050 t and traverses a semicircle of radius 1.0 mm before leaving the fi

ElenaW [278]

Velocity of proton= 4782 m/s

Explanation:

For proton, the centripetal force required for circular motion is provided by the magnetic force,

so Fm= Fc

q v B = m v²/r

m= mass of proton

v= velocity

B =magnetic field=0.05 T

q= charge= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

r= radius = 1 mm =0.001 m

v= q B r/m

V= (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)(0.05)(0.001)/(1.673 x 10⁻²⁷)

V= 4782 m/s
