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 object with kinetic energy k explodes into two pieces, each of which moves with twice the speed of the original object.
zlopas [31]
<span>Assuming that the momenta of the two pieces are equal: when they have equal velocities, then the masses of the two pieces are also equal. Since there is no force from outside of the system, the center of mass moves on with the same velocity as before the equation. So the two pieces must fly at the side side of the mass center, i.e., they must always be at 90° to the side of the mass center. Otherwise it would not be the mass center, respectively the pieces would not have equal velocities. This is only possible, when the angle of their velocity with the initial direction is 60°. Because, cos (60°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>

A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What hap
Olenka [21]

Answer:

<em>His angular velocity will increase.</em>

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = I'ω'

where

I' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia = mr'^{2}

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to I.

From

I'ω' = Iω

since I is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

What force is acting on a 2 kg apple falling on the Earth (g=10)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

An apple in free fall accelerates toward the Earth with a free fall acceleration, g. The force of the apple on the Earth also causes the Earth to accelerate toward the falling apple. By Newton's Third Law, the force of the Earth on the apple is exactly equal and opposite to the force of the apple on the Earth. By Newton,s Second law, the force of the Earth on the apple is equal to the mass of the apple times g , the accelerations due to gravity. And, the force of the the apple on the Earth is equal to the mass of the Earth times the acceleration of the Earth toward the apple. In conclusion, the magnitude of the forces are equal, or

F ( apple on the Earth) = F( the Earth on the apple) or

M( mass of the earth) x a( the acceleration of the earth toward the apple) = m(mass of the apple) x g( the acceleration of the apple toward the Earth) or

a = (m/M) g
