Answer:

nuclear fusion

Explanation:

The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom.

Answer:

nuclear fusion

<h3>The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released.</h3>

An astronaut landed on a far away planet that has a sea of water. To determine the gravitational acceleration on the planet's su
TiliK225 [7]

The concept required to solve this problem is hydrostatic pressure. From the theory and assuming that the density of water on that planet is equal to that of the earth (1000kg / m ^ 3)we can mathematically define the pressure as

P = \rho g h

Where,

\rho = Density

h = Height

g = Gravitational acceleration

Rearranging the equation based on gravity

g = \frac{P_h}{\rho h}

The mathematical problem gives us values such as:

P = 2.4 atm (\frac{101325Pa}{1atm}) = 243180Pa

\rho = 1000kg/m^3

h = 28.6m

Replacing we have,

g = \frac{243180}{(1000)(28.6)}

g = 8.5m/s^2

Therefore the gravitational acceleration on the planet's surface is 8.5m/s^2

Match the organisms to the descriptions.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Lacks colored blood - Scorpion

Soft, unsegmented body - Octopus

A vertebrate - Bird

Lacks antennae - Starfish

Explanation:

Scorpion belongs to the Phylum Arthropoda of the Kingdom Animalia. All the organisms of this phylum lack coloured blood.

Octopus comes under the Phylum Molusca of the Kingdom Animalia. Soft, unsegmented body is the property of the organisms of this phylum.

Bird belongs to the Vertebrata class of the Phylum Chordata of Kingdom Animalia.

Starfish belongs to Echinodermata Phylum of the Kingdom Animalia. The organisms of this category do not posses antennae.

There are 5510 lines per centimeter in a grating that is used with light whose wavelegth is 467 nm. A flat observation screen is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

1.696 nm

Explanation:

For a diffraction grating, dsinθ = mλ where d = number of lines per metre of grating = 5510 lines per cm = 551000 lines per metre and λ = wavelength of light = 467 nm = 467 × 10⁻⁹ m. For a principal maximum, m = 1. So,

dsinθ = mλ = (1)λ = λ

dsinθ = λ

sinθ = λ/d.

Also tanθ = w/D where w = distance of center of screen to principal maximum and D = distance of grating to screen = 1.03 m

From trig ratios 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ

1 + (1/tan²θ) = 1/(sin²θ)

substituting the values of sinθ and tanθ we have

1 + (D/w)² = (d/λ)²

(D/w)² = (d/λ)² - 1

(w/D)² = 1/[(d/λ)² - 1]

(w/D) = 1/√[(d/λ)² - 1]

w = D/√[(d/λ)² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(551000/467 × 10⁻⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(1179.87 × 10⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/1179.87 × 10⁹  = 0.000848 × 10⁻⁹ = 0.848 × 10⁻¹² m = 0.848 nm.

w is also the distance from the center to the other principal maximum on the other side.

So for both principal maxima to be on the screen, its minimum width must be 2w = 2 × 0.848 nm = 1.696 nm

So, the minimum width of the screen must be 1.696 nm
