Why does a buoyant force act on every object in a fluid?

Answer:

The buoyant force comes from the pressure exerted on the object by the fluid. Because the pressure increases as the depth increases, the pressure on the bottom of an object is always larger than the force on the top - hence the net upward force.

when an object is charged by contact, how does the kind of charge transferred compare to that on the object giving the charge?

11111nata11111 [884]

Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.

Why are you able to observe the Doppler effect on earth with sound waves but not with light waves?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: When an ambulance passes with its siren blaring, you hear the pitch of the siren change: as it approaches, the siren’s pitch sounds higher than when it is moving away from you. This change is a common physical demonstration of the Doppler effect.

What is nuclear fission? why is this process important to stars?

KIM [24]

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a new nucleus. This process is important to stars because they get their energy from the nuclear fusion process

assume the suns total energy output is 4.0 * 10^26 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule/second. assume 4.3 * 10^-12 J is released from e

Dmitry [639]

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:

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