Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. <u>This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons)</u>.

Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.

A 600g boulder has a density of 8 g/cm3. What is the volume of the boulder

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
density = mass / volume

Since the density is given as 8 gm/cm^3 and the mass is given as 600 grams, therefore, all we need to do is substitute in the equation to get the value of the volume as follows:
8 = 600 / volume
volume = 600 / 8 = 75 cm^3

A 75-hp (shaft output) motor that has an efficiency of 91.0 percent is worn out and is to be replaced by a high- efficiency moto

daser333 [38]

Convert the shaft ouput from HP to kW

Shaft output = 75HP = 55.93kW

1st: Finding for the power consumption based on 55.93kW output

Power consumption (Old) = 55.93kW / .910 = 61.46kW

Power consumption (New) = 55.93kW / .954 = 58.63kW

2nd: Total power used in kWh:

Power Used = Power consumption * load factor * Hours:

Power (Old) = 61.46kW * .75 * 4368 = 201343 kWh

Power (New) = 58.63kW * .75 * 4368 = 192072 kWh

Energy saved = 201343 kWh - 192072 kWh = 9,271 kWh

3rd: Calculating for the price:

Price = kW-Hr * $/kWh

Price (Old) = 201343kWh * $0.08/kWh = $16107.44

Price (New) = 192072 kWh * $0.08/kWh = $15365.76

Cost saved = $16107.44 - $15365.76 = $741.68/yr

4th: Setting up the cost equation:

Cost over time, F(t) = Motor_Cost + (Price * Number of Years, t)

Cost (Old) = 5449 + 16107.44*t

Cost (New) = 5520 + 15365.76*t

Equate the two to find for t when they cost equally:

5449 + 16107.44*t = 5520 + 15365.76*t

16107.44*t = 15365.76*t +71

16107.44*t - 15365.76*t = 71

741.68*t = 71

t = 71 / 741.68 = .095 years = 35 days

So the payback period is after 35 days.

A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110 GPa, 16 × 106 psi) having a yield strength of 240 MPa (35,000 psi) is to be subjected to a

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

d= 7.32 mm

Explanation:

Given that

E= 110 GPa

σ = 240 MPa

P= 6640 N

L= 370 mm

ΔL = 0.53

Area A= πr²

We know that elongation due to load given as

$\Delta L=\dfrac{PL}{AE}$

$A=\dfrac{PL}{\Delta LE}$

$A=\dfrac{6640\times 370}{0.53\times 110\times 10^3}$

A= 42.14 mm²

πr² = 42.14 mm²

r=3.66 mm

diameter ,d= 2r

d= 7.32 mm

4. How do ordinary objects behave in microgravity?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Bubbles paused

Explanation:

the air bubble doesn't rise because it is no lighter than the water around it—there's no buoyancy. The droplet doesn't fall from the leaf because there's no force to pull it off. It's stuck there by molecular adhesion.

for instance, onto the International Space Station, gravity becomes negligible, and the laws of physics act differently than here on Earth

On Earth, the buoyancy of the air bubbles causes them to rise to the top together, creating a segregation between air and water. However, in microgravity, nothing forces the air bubbles to interact and thus rise together, Green said.
