Which of the following statements is true?

Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear _____.

Kruka [31]

Answer;

- Nuclear fusion

Explanation;

-Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with the nuclear fusion. On other side, the Sun and other stars make heat and light by nuclear reactions.

-The first stage of a hydrogen bomb involves a fission explosion which in turn leads to a nuclear fusion. The extreme heat and pressure from the initial atomic blast force together deuterium and tritium (two light gases made of hydrogen). When they are forced together, some of the hydrogen atoms fuse to one another, creating helium.

-This process of fusion releases even more energy per unit of mass than fission does, and the energy released from the fusion reaction also feeds back into the fission reaction, increasing its output.

Hoover Dam on the Colorado River is the highest dam in the United States at 221m, with a power output of 680 MW. The dam generat

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Power = 9.75 ×10^8 $\frac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

Explanation:

Power is rate of change of energy.
Here gravitational energy is transferred to kinetic energy of water at a definite rate.

For one second 650m^3 of water flows out down to 150m oh depth.

So, the energy at a height of 150m is transformed to kinetic energy.

for a second,

650m^3 of water flows down ⇒ (1000kg/m^3 × 650m^3) = 6.5×10^5kg of warer flos down.

The total gravitational potential energy stored in water is

= mass of water × height× gravity

= 6.5 ×10^5 × 150 × 10 = 9.75 ×10^8 $\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}$

As it is transformed in a second it is also equal to Power.

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 62.0 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.85 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 48.5° w

notka56 [123]

The distance x will the ball land after flies off with a horizontal initial velocity is 3.0635 m.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 62.0 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.85 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 48.5° with respect to the vertical.

The ball is then released. When the rope is vertical, the ball collides head-on and perfectly elastically with an identical ball originally at rest. This second ball flies off with a horizontal initial velocity from a height of h = 3.76 m, and then later it hits the ground.

The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

1/2 mv² =mgh₁

The velocity at the bottom, when the height h = 5m, is

v= √2gh₁...................(1)

The vertical height h₁ = l- lcosθ

h₁ = l- lcosθ

h₁ = 1.85 - 1.85cos48.5°

h₁ =0.6241 m

Putting the values in equation (1), we get

v = √2x 9.81 x0.6241

v = 3.499 m/s

The horizontal distance traveled is

x = vt

x = v x √2h/g

Plug the values, we get

x = 3.499 x √2x3.76 / 9.81

x = 3.0635 m

Thus, the horizontal distance ball travels is 3.0635 m.

_________ are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.
