Answer:

9.3\cdot 10^{37}

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

P= \frac{E}{t}

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W, is

E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}

A 150 kg boy and his bike are traveling 12 m/s when he slams on his breaks and stop at his friend’s house. How much impulse is r
Nataly [62]

Answer:

J = 1800 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m = 150 kg

Initial velocity of a boy, u = 12 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

We need to find the impulse is required to produce this change in momentum. We know that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,

J=m(v-u)\\\\=150\times (0-12)\\\\=-1800\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=1800\ kg-m/s

So, the impulse is equal to 1800 kg-m/s

a object with a mass of 70 kilograms is supported at a height 8 meters above the ground.what's the potential energy of the objec
Agata [3.3K]
Potential Energy = mgh,

where m = mass in kg,  g ≈ 10 m/s², h = height above ground = 8 m

PE = mgh
  
      = 70*10*8 = 5600 J

Explain how the visible light spectrum is a spectrum within a spectrum.
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In the visible spectrum of light, the color of the light depends on the frequency. The visible spectrum is always the same for a rainbow or the separated light from a prism. The order of colors is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
