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.

What force in Newton is required to accelerate a car starting from rest to 20 m/s in 15 seconds if the mass of the car is 2500 k
Lyrx [107]

We will solve this question using the second law of motion which states that force is directly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

\sf \: F=ma

Where,

  • F is force
  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

In our case,

  • F = ?
  • m = 2500 kg
  • a = 20m/s

\tt \: F_{net}  = 2500 \times 20 \\   \tt= 50000

<em>Thus, The force of 50000 Newton is required to accelerate a car of 2500 kg...~</em>

When light in vacuum is incident at the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle) on a certain glass slab, the angle of refraction is
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

θ( p ) + θ( r ) = 90  

θ (r) = angle of refraction and θ ( p ) is polarising angle.

given θ ( r ) = 31.8

θ ( p ) = 90 - 31.8 = 58.2 degree

ii ) Tanθ ( p ) = n ( refractive index ) = Tan 58.2 = 1.6

A wagon full of manure accidentally rolls down a driveway for 5.0m while a person pushes against the wagon with a force of 420 N
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J
