Answer:

Explanation:

The law of reflection says that the reflected angle (measured from a vertical line to the surface called the normal) is equal to the reflected angle measured from the same normal line.

All other properties of reflection flow from this one statement.

What is the first step of thermonuclear fusion within the Sun to form helium-4?

hodyreva [135]

Great Question! I happened to be a physics nerd!

Answer:

C. Two hydrogen nuclei, each with only one proton, fuse to form deuterium, a form of hydrogen with one proton.

MAKE SURE TO SEE EXPLANATION!

Explanation:

In the core of the Sun, or any other main sequence star, there is no single fusion process. Instead, complex sequences of processes occur to make helium nuclei from hydrogen nuclei (i.e. protons). The proton-proton chain provides for the majority of energy generation in stars with masses less than that of the Sun. One difficulty in creating a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) is that there are only protons to begin with. Some protons must be turned into neutrons in some way. The first step is to combine two protons to form a deuterium nucleus (also known as a deuteron). That's a hefty hydrogen nucleus with one proton and one neutron. Such a proton-proton contact is highly unlikely, and it has never been detected in a laboratory. Fortunately, the Sun's core is incredibly hot and dense, with an incredible number of protons packed inside. Even a low likelihood event will occur every now and again. Along with each deuteron, a positron (an "anti-electron") and a neutrino are created. Because the Sun's core is plasma, there are a lot of free electrons, thus the positron doesn't live long until it and an electron collide and annihilate, resulting in gamma radiation. The deuteron then interacts with a proton to form a helium 3 nucleus. That is a high-probability interaction, and it occurs swiftly. Two helium 3 nuclei join in the third phase to generate a helium 4 ("regular" helium) nucleus and a proton. Branch I of the proton-proton (p-p) chain is responsible for this. Another stage is required because reactions between helium 3 and helium 4 nuclei are possible. There are two conceivable reactions (named Branch II and Branch III), and I'll save you the gory details. It gets much more complicated since theoretical calculations indicate that a reaction between a helium 3 nucleus and a proton is feasible — Branch IV. This reaction has an incredibly low likelihood of occurring, far lower than the Branch I reaction, thus it must be exceedingly rare. The Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) Cycle is another method for reducing hydrogen to helium. It does not generate much energy in the Sun, but it is the principal energy generation mechanism in larger stars.

Define anterior and posterior in correlation to the body. (ANATOMY)

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

it should be right it's from go.ogle hm!!!

Explanation:

Anterior or ventral - front (example, the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal - back (example, the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body). Medial - toward the midline of the body (example, the middle toe is located at the medial side of the foot).

2500kg = 2500000g

B 1 hour = 3600 sec

335 hour = 1206000sec

C 1day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 sec

24 hours = 86400sec

A 20.0 cm tall object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm. Where will the image

Neko [114]

Answer:

1.Theimage will be located at -0.13m or -13 cm

2.The height of the image will be 0.052m or 5.2cm

Explanation:

Given that;

Height of object, h=20 cm = 0.2m

Object distance in front of convex mirror, o,= 50 cm =0.5m

Radius of curvature, r, =34 cm =0.34m

Let;

Image distance, i,=?

Image height, h'=?

You know that focal length,f, is half the radius of curvature,hence

f=r/2 = 0.34/2 = 0.17m ( this length is inside the mirror, in a virtual side, thus its is negative)

f= -0.17m

Apply the relationship that involves the focal length;

$=\frac{1}{o} +\frac{1}{i} =\frac{1}{f}$

$=\frac{1}{0.5} +\frac{1}{i} =-\frac{1}{0.17}$

Re-arrange to get i

$\frac{1}{i} =-2-5.88\\\\\\\frac{1}{i} =-7.88\\\\i=-0.13m$

This is a virtual image formed at a negative distance produced through extension of drawing rays behind the mirror if you use rays to locate the image behind the mirror

Apply the magnification formula

magnification, m=height of image÷height of object

$m=\frac{h'}{h} =-\frac{i}{o}$

substitute the values to get the height of image h'

$\frac{h'}{0.20} =-\frac{-0.13}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.13*0.20}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.025}{0.5} =0.052m\\\\\\h'=5.2cm$
