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 air bubble has a volume of 1.3 cm3 when it is released by a submarine 160 m below the surface of a freshwater lake. What is t
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

V2 = 21.44cm^3

Explanation:

Given that: the initial volume of the bubble = 1.3 cm^3

Depth = h = 160m

Where P2 is the atmospheric pressure = Patm

P1 is the pressure at depth 'h'

Density of water = ρ = 10^3kg/m^3

Patm = 1.013×10^5 Pa.

Patm = 101300Pa

g = 9.81m/s^2

P1 = P2+ρgh

P1 = Patm +ρgh

P1 = 1.013×10^5+10^3×9.81×160.

P1 = 101300+1569600

P1 = 1670900 Pa

For an ideal gas law

PV =nRT

P1V1/P2V2 = 1

V2 = ( P1/P2)V1

V2 = (P1/Patm)V1

V2 = ( 1670900 /101300 Pa) × 1.3

V2 = 1670900/101300

V2 = 16.494×1.3

V2 = 21.44cm^3

An airplane flies northwest for 250 mi and then west for 150 mi. What is the resultant displacement of the plane after this time
Kazeer [188]

Answer:371.564 mi

Explanation:

Given

Airplane flies northwest for 250 mi and then travels west 150 mi

That is first it travels 250cos45 in - ve x direction and simultaneously 250sin45 in y direction

after that it travels 150 mi in -ve x direction

So its position vector is given by

r=-250cos45\hat{i}-150\hat{i}+250sin45\hat{j}

r=-\left ( 250cos45+150\right )\hat{i}+250sin45\hat{j}

so magnitude of displacement is

|r|=\sqrt{\left ( \frac{250}{\sqrt{2}}+150\right )^2+\left ( \frac{250}{\sqrt{2}}\right )^2}

|r|=371.564 mi
