Isotopes of hydrogen react, forming the element helium, as shown.

Physics
1 answer:
forsale [732]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A star is known to be moving at 8.46km/s toward the earth. If you observe the spectral line to be at 5.02nm, at what wavelength
anastassius [24]

Answer:

\lambda_x=5.019858nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of star S=8.46km/s

Distance of spectral line \lambda_0= 5.02nm

Generally the equation for wavelength with respect to spectral lines is mathematically given by

\lambda=\lambda _0 *\frac{v}{c}

where

\lambda_0= length\ of\ spectral\ line

c=The\ speed\ of\ light

v= speed\ of\ moving\ object

therefore

\lambda=5.02*10^{-9} *\frac{8.46*10^{12}}{299 792 458*10^9}

\lambda=1.42*10^{-4} nm

Generally the equation for new wavelength is mathematically given as

\lambda_x=\lambda _0-\lambda

\lambda_x=5.02 nm-1.42*10^{-4} nm

\lambda_x=5.02-1.42*10^{-4}

Therefore

\lambda_x=5.019858nm

1. In what year did India (our second most populous country) begin to produce more energy than Spain?
choli [55]

Answers:

<h2>1) Sometime in 2014 </h2>

As we can see in the graph in 2014 there is an intersection between the lines that represent the wind energy production of Spain and India, then the production of India is increased, while that of Spain remains constant.

<h2>2) Germany </h2>

As we can see in the graph in 2000 Germany was the number 1 producer of gigawatts of wind energy. In addition it is observed a rapid growth and increase in production compared to the other countries.

<h2>3) In 2006, America was producing over 10 GW and began a steep climb in wind energy production.</h2>

In 1997, America began with a constant and very small energy production, which was growing gradually until 2006, when its rapid growth in production began to exceed the other countries shown in the graph.

<h2>4) Years</h2>

When a function is plotted, generally the independent variable, whose value is previously set, is represented on the X axis.

In this sense, the variable found on the X axis of this graph is Years.

<h2>5) Wind Energy Capacity </h2>

When a function is plotted, generally the dependent variable (which is generated from the independent variable) is represented on the Y axis.

In this sense, the variable found on the Y axis of this graph is Wind Energy Capacity.

<h2>6) Gigawatts (GW) </h2>

We already know the dependent variable in this <u>Wind Energy Capacity vs Years</u> graph is Wind Energy Capacity, and its Unit is Gigawatts (GW).

Where 1GW=10^{6} W

<h2>7) Both onshore and offshore wind sources </h2>

When we talk about scientific experimentation and representing data, the Control Variable is the one that remains constant (it does not change during the investigation).  

According to the explanation above, the option that fits with this characteristic is: Both onshore and offshore wind sources

<h2>8) 55 GW </h2>

If we want to make a linear interpolation to estimate how much wind energy capacity was there in the United States in the middle of 2011, firstly we need to <u>find two points where the value we want to find is in the middle.</u>

These points (X,Y) are:

P1: (2011,48) and P2: (2012,60)

Where X1:2011, Y1:48, X2:2012, Y2:60

Now we find the <u>slope</u> m of the line with the following equation:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

m=\frac{60 - 48}{2012 - 2011}=12

Then, with this value of the slope we can write the <u>equation of the line</u> and find the <u>intersection point</u> b with one of the given points (we will use P1):

Y=mX+b

48=12(2011)+b

b=-24084

With this value and the slope, we can find Y for X=2011.5 (we need to know the wind capacity in the middle of 2011):

Y=(12)(2011.5)-24084

Y=54 This is the e<u>stimated result</u> 54 GW, and the option that is near this value is 55 GW

<h2>9) 36 GW </h2>

In this case we will apply a similar method as the previous answer, but estimating a prediction:

Let's find two points near the value we want to find. These points (X,Y) are:

P1: (2014,22) and P2: (2016,29)

Where X1:2014, Y1:22, X2:2016, Y2:29

Now we find the <u>slope</u> m of the line with the following equation:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

m=\frac{29 - 22}{2016 - 2014}=\frac{7}{2}

Then, with this value of the slope we can write the <u>equation of the line</u> and find the <u>intersection point</u> b with one of the given points (we will use P2):

Y=mX+b

29=\frac{7}{2}(2016)+b

b=-7027

With this value and the slope, we can find Y for X=2020 (we need to estimate the expected wind capacity in 2020):

Y=\frac{7}{2}(2020)-7027

Y=43 This is the e<u>stimated result</u> 43 GW (note linear extrapolation is not as accurate as other methods), and the option that is near this value is 36 GW

<h2>10) Additional 7 GW/Year</h2>

In this case we will use the equation of the slope:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

With the following points:

P1: (2009,35) and P2: (2016,82)

m=\frac{82 - 35}{2016 - 2009}

m=6.7 \approx 7

Therefore, the correct option is Additional 35 GW/Year
