Answer:

B. nuclear fusion

Explanation:

Atomic fusion is a process in which two or more lighter nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.

The mass of the single nucleus thus formed is lighter than the initial mass.

There is a difference in mass in the heavier nucleus thus formed. According to Einstein's mass-energy equation, the change in mass is equated towards energy.

The energy liberated in the process is called as thermo-nuclear energy.

As in the case of isotopes of hydrogen fuses to form helium, the nuclear reaction is given by relation

₁H³ + ₁H² → ₂He⁴ + ₀n¹ + energy

Thus, the nuclear reaction of hydrogen isotopes forming helium is nuclear fusion.

An arrow is shot upward from the roof of a building 75 m high with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If g = 10 m/s2 , what total dista

Elenna [48]

Answer:

60m

Explanation:

According to one of the equation of motions, v² = u²+2as where;

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Since the arrow is shot upwards, the body will experience a negative acceleration due to gravity i.e a = -g

Therefore our equation will become;

v² = u² - 2gS

Given u = 40m/s, g = 10m/s², S = 75m

Substituting to get the final velocity of the arrow we will have;

v² = 40²-2(10)(75)

v² = 1600 - 1500

v² = 100

v = √100

v = 10m/s

Total distance traveled is speed of the object × time taken

Total distance traveled = 10 × 6

= 60m

The arrow has therefore traveled 60m after 6seconds

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) $\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = $\frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, $q_{1}$ is the value of the first charge, $q_{2}$ is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

$q_{1}$ = 2q

$q_{2}$ = $\frac{q}{3}$

So that,

F = $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= 2q x $\frac{q}{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2q^{2} }{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

F = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

The electric force between the given charges would change by $\frac{2}{3}$ .

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the

erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48Â° was measured from.
You didn't mention if the angle of 48Â° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.
Since we need a torque of 55 NÂ·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 NÂ·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.
Ideally, the force will have a 0Â° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0Â° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".
If the angle of 48Â° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:
U = F*cos(48)
where
U = Useful force
F = Force applied
So solving for F and calculating gives:
U = F*cos(48)
U/cos(48) = F
117 N/0.669130606 = F
174.8537563 N = F
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.
If the 48Â° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90Â° - 48Â° = 42Â° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get
U/cos(42) = F
117/0.743144825 = F
157.4390294 = F
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the

alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s
