8 0

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.

An unknown fluid has a specific gravity of 0.750. What is the volume of 22.5 kg of this fluid?
Andru [333]
<h2>Option C is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Specific gravity of fluid = 0.750

Density of fluid = Specific gravity of fluid x Density of water

Density of fluid = 0.750 x 1000

Density of fluid = 750 kg/m³

Mass of fluid = 22.5 kg

We have

         Mass = Volume x Density

         22.5 = Volume x 750

         Volume = 0.03 m³ = 30 L

Option C is the correct answer.

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.
