Answer:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. As a result it cracks.

Explanation:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. This decrease in temperature makes the glass to contract. The stress developed on the site of contraction is responsible for the cracking of the glass chimney.

old stars obtain part of their energy by the fusion of three alpha particles to form a 12/6c nucleus, whose mass is 12.0000 u. H
marta [7]

Answer:

11.6532 x 10⁻¹¹ J or 7.3 MeV is given off

Explanation:

Mass of an alpha particle = 4.0026u,   ∴ mass of three = 12.0078u

Find the difference in mass.

Mass of three alpha - Mass of Carbon nucleus

12.0078u - 12u = 0.0078u

Since 1u = 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

Therefore, 0.0078u = 1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷

Now that we know Mass(m) = 1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷ and Speed (c) 3 x 10⁸ m²s⁻²

Formular for Energy ==> E₀ = mc²

E = (1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷) (3 x 10⁸ m²s⁻²)²

E = (1.2948 x 10⁻²⁷) (9 x 10¹⁶) J

E = 11.6532 x 10⁻¹¹ J

Or, if you need your energy in MeV

1 MeV = 1.60x10⁻¹³ J

Just do the conversion by dividing 11.6532 x 10⁻¹¹ J by 1.60x10⁻¹³ J

It will give you 7.3 MeV

Sergio [31]

Answer:

the answer is fulcrum because

Explanation:

lever is a simple machine consisting of a bar that rotates around a fixed point. The fixed point of a lever is called the fulcrum. Like other machines, a lever makes work easier by changing the force applied to the machine or the distance over which the force is applied
