The correct answer is 10 billion years. The Sun is expected to undergo hydrogen fusion for a total of 10 billion years. The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen and produces helium nucleus. It fuses 620 million metric tons every second.
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, as there are no diagrams or options to provide more information to the question.
The general explanation is as follows:
For the object not to move
(1): The forces acting on the object must opposite each other. i.e. if force A acts at the right (or positive direction), force B will act at the left (or negative direction).
(2) The two forces must be equal.
So, for instance:
If the pair of forces are 5N and 5N in opposite directions, the object wil not move.
However, if one of the forces is greater, the object will move towards the direction of the greater force.
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.
If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.
The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.
Answer:
d. We can calculate it by applying Newton's version of Kepler's third law
Explanation:
The measurements of a Star like the Sun have several problems, the first one is distance, but the most important is the temperature since as we get closer all the instruments will melt. This is why all measurements must be indirect because of the effects that these variables create on nearby bodies.
Kepler's laws are deduced from Newton's law of universal gravitation, in these laws the mass of the Sun affects the orbit of the planets since it creates a force of attraction, if measured the orbit and the time it takes to travel it we can know the centripetal acceleration and with it knows the force, from where we clear the mass of the son.
Let's review the statements of the exercise
.a) False. We don't have good enough models for this calculation
.b) False. The size of the sun is very difficult to measure because it is a mass of gas, in addition the density changes strongly with depth
.c) False. The amount of light that comes out of the sun is not all the light produced and is due to quantum effects where the mass of the sun is not taken into account
.d) True. This method has been used to calculate the mass of the sun and the other planets since the variable distance and time are easily measured from Earth
Correct answer is D
Answer:
Explanation:
The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:
F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).
We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:
That's everything we need.
w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:
6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and
2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and
11 = 6.0a so
a = 1.8 m/s/s
