Answer:

The statement that best describes nuclear fusion is;

Nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion, we have the reaction of the nuclei of two or more atoms coming together (combining) to form heavier elements and subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons accompanied by the release or absorption in energy depending on the difference between the mass of the reactants and the products

Some nuclear fusion reaction require an input of energy and such reactions are therefore not spontaneous

The best option is nuclei (two or more nuclei) combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

Which circuit has the largest equivalent resistance?.

Alexeev081 [22]

The series circuit has the higher equivalent resistance, but to find the larger equivalent resistance you have to use Ohm's law (V2=I2R2), the power dissipated by the resistor can also be found using P2=I22R2=V22R2. To find the equivalent resistance of the circuit, notice that the parallel connection of R2 and R3 is in series with R1, so the equivalent resistance is Req=R1+(1R2+1R3)−1=1.00Ω+(16.00Ω+113.00Ω)−1=5.10Ω.

Hope this helps!

1. If an object that stands 3 centimeters high is placed 12 centimeters in front of a plane

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

1. 12 cm

2. 0.133 m

3. 0.03 m

4. Plane mirror

Virtual image

Upright

Behind the mirror

The same size as the object

Concave mirror when the object is located a distance greater than the focal length from the mirror's surface

Real image

Inverted image

In front of the the mirror

Diminished when the object is beyond the center of curvature

Same size as object when the object is placed at the center of curvature

Enlarged when the object is placed between the center of curvature of the mirror and the focus of the mirror

Concave mirror when the object is located a distance less than the focal length from the mirror's surface

Virtual image

Upright image

Behind the the mirror

Enlarged

Convex mirror

Type = Virtual image

Appearance = Upright image

Placement = Behind the mirror

Size = Smaller than the object

Explanation:

1. For plane mirror, since there is no magnification, the virtual image distance from the mirror = object distance from the mirror = 12 cm behind the mirror

2. The height of the object = 0.3 m

The distance of the object from the mirror = 0.4 meters

Height of image formed = 0.1 meter

We have;

$Magnification, \ m = \dfrac{Image \ height }{Object \ height } = \dfrac{Image \ distance \ from \ mirror }{Object\ distance \ from \ mirror }$

$m = \dfrac{0.1}{0.3 } = \dfrac{Image \ distance \ from \ mirror }{0.4 }$

Image distance from the mirror = 0.1/0.3×0.4 = 2/15 = 0.133 m

Image distance from the mirror = 0.133 m

3. $m = \dfrac{Image \ height}{0.10 } = \dfrac{0.06 }{0.20 }$

The image height = 0.06/0.2×0.1 = 3/100 = 0.03 meter

The image height = 0.03 meter

4. Plane mirror

Type = Virtual image

Appearance = Upright image with the left transformed to right

Placement = Behind the mirror

Size = The same size as the object

Concave mirror when the object is located a distance greater than the focal length from the mirror's surface

Type = Real image

Appearance = Inverted image

Placement = In front of the the mirror

Size = Diminished when the object is beyond the center of curvature

Same size as object when the object is placed at the center of curvature

Enlarged when the object is placed between the center of curvature of the mirror and the focus of the mirror

Concave mirror when the object is located a distance less than the focal length from the mirror's surface

Type = Virtual image

Appearance = Upright image

Placement = Behind the the mirror

Size = Enlarged

Convex mirror

Type = Virtual image

Appearance = Upright image

Placement = Behind the mirror

Size = Smaller than the object.

Two forces are applied on a body. One produces a force of 480-N directly forward while the other gives a 513-N force at 32.4-deg

n200080 [17]

Answer:

F = (913.14 , 274.87 )

|F| = 953.61 direction 16.71°

Explanation:

To calculate the resultant force you take into account both x and y component of the implied forces:

$\Sigma F_x=480N+513Ncos(32.4\°)=913.14N\\\\\Sigma F_y=513sin(32.4\°)=274.87N$

Thus, the net force over the body is:

$F=(913.14N)\hat{i}+(274.87N)\hat{j}$

Next, you calculate the magnitude of the force:

$F=\sqrt{(913.14N)+(274.87N)^2}=953.61N$

and the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{274.14N}{913.14N})=16.71\°$

During a hard drive crash the read/write head scrapes against the disk with a coefficient of kinetic friction of µk and normal f

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

α = $\frac{2 \mu \ N}{m \ r}$

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's equation for rotational motion

∑ τ = I α

the troque is

α = Fr .r

the moment of inertia of a cylinder is

I = ½ m r²

we substitute

fr r = (½ m r²) α

the expression friction is

fr = μ N

we substitute

μ N r = ½ m r² α

α = $\frac{2 \mu \ N}{m \ r}$

Explain how energy balance sets planetary temperature? Imagine a planet colder than expected for energy balance and explain why

RUDIKE [14]

The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.

What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.

We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.

Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.

A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.
