Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

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).

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit
zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.

A 4.0 Ω resistor has a current of 3.0 A in it for 5.0 min. How many electrons pass 3. through the resistor during this time inte
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n=5.62\times 10^{21}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 4 ohms

Current, I = 3 A

Time, t = 5 min = 300 s

We need to find the number of electrons pass through the resistor during this time interval. Let the number of electron is n.

i.e. q = n e ...............(1)

And current, I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I\times t=n\times e

n=\dfrac{It}{e}

e is the charge of an electron

n=\dfrac{3\ A\times 300\ s}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n=5.62\times 10^{21}

So, the number of electrons pass through the resistor is 5.62\times 10^{21}. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is (3.25 x 10^5) + (7.5 x 10^4)?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

400000

Explanation:

So first solve one part:

(3.25 * 10^5)

(3.25 * 100,000)

= 325000

Then solve the next part:

(7.5 * 10^4)

(7.5 * 10000)

= 75000

Now lastly, add the two answers:

325000 + 75000 = 400000

Therefore,

(3.25 x 10^5) + (7.5 x 10^4) = 400000

If someone ways 600 newtons and the shoes have an area of 300cm squared, what pressure does he exert on the ground?
lukranit [14]
Pressure = Force / Area

Put your data in front of yourself.

Force = 600 Newtons
Area = 300 cm^2

Firstly you need to convert the area into m^2 and you do this by diving 300 with 10000.

Now you use the formula:-
Pressure = 600/ 0.03
Which comes out to be 20,000 Pa.

Hope this helps!

A wire with a resistance of 20 Ω (Ohm's) is connected to a 12-V battery. What is the current flowing through the wire? (Blank) A
pishuonlain [190]
<span>For this particular problem, we use Ohm's Law. This law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. Using the equation, we can isolate I or the current to one side and the other terms to the other side. We calculate as follows:

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 12 V / 20 </span><span>Ω
I = 0.6 amperes

Therefore, the current that is flowing through the wire supplied with 12 V and having a resistance of 20 
</span><span>Ω would be 0.6 amperes.</span>
