<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Iron cannot release energy by fusion.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Supernovae are some of the most magnificent events in the cosmos. When a massive star dies, it can result in a spectacular explosion many times that of man's total nuclear arsenal.
When a star has used up all the lighter elements and has just iron left, it has no more nuclear "fuel". That causes the star to contract then explode very violently as a supernova.

Arrange the distances between Earth and various celestial objects in order from least to greatest. Use the conversion table to h

Kaylis [27]

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

As we know that

$1 ly = 63000 AU$

also we know that

$1AU = 1.5 \times 10^8 km$

$1 ly = 63000 (1.5 \times 10^8) = 9.45 \times 10^{12} km$

So the distance of Betelgeuse = 640 ly

$d_1 = 640 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} = 6.05 \times 10^{15} m$

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: $3.09 × 10^8 AU$

$d_2 = 3.09\times 10^8 \times 1.5 \times 10^8 km$

$d_2 = 4.64 \times 10^{16} km$

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

$1 pc = 3.262 ly = 3.262 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} km$

$1pc = 3.08 \times 10^{13} km$

now we have

$d_3 = 49976 \times 3.08 \times 10^{13}$

$d_3 = 1.54 \times 10^{18} km$

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

$d_4 = 4.7 \times 10^9 km$

now the order of distance from least to greatest is as following

1. distance to Neptune at the farthest

2. distance of Betelgeuse

3. distance to the star VY Canis Majoris

4. distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

You want the current amplitude through a inductor with an inductance of 4.70 mH (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

f = 1.69*10^5 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the frequency of the sinusoidal voltage, you use the following formula:

$V_L=\omega iL=2\pi f i L$ (1)

V_L: voltage = 12.0V

i: current = 2.40mA = 2.40*10^-3 A

L: inductance = 4.70mH = 4.70*10^-3 H

f: frequency = ?

you solve the equation (1) for f and replace the values of the other parameters:

$f=\frac{V_L}{2\pi iL}=\frac{12.0V}{2\pi (2.4*10^{-3}A)(4.70*10^{-3}H)}=1.69*10^5Hz$

The frequency of the sinusoidal voltage is f

A projectile is fired into the air from the top of a 200-m cliff above a valley as shown below. Its initial velocity is 60 m/s a

anastassius [24]

a) y(max) = 337.76 m

b) t₁ = 5.30 s the time for y maximum

c)t₂ = 13.60 s time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

d) vₓ = 30 m/s vy = - 81.32 m/s

e)x = 408 m

Equations for projectile motion:

v₀ₓ = v₀ * cosα v₀ₓ = 60*(1/2) v₀ₓ = 30 m/s ( constant )

v₀y = v₀ * sinα v₀y = 60*(√3/2) v₀y = 30*√3 m/s

a) Maximum height:

The following equation describes the motion in y coordinates

y = y₀ + v₀y*t - (1/2)*g*t² (1)

To find h(max), we need to calculate t₁ ( time for h maximum)

we take derivative on both sides of the equation

dy/dt = v₀y - g*t

dy/dt = 0 v₀y - g*t₁ = 0 t₁ = v₀y/g

v₀y = 60*sin60° = 60*√3/2 = 30*√3

g = 9.8 m/s²

t₁ = 5.30 s the time for y maximum

And y maximum is obtained from the substitution of t₁ in equation (1)

y (max) = 200 + 30*√3 * (5.30) - (1/2)*9.8*(5.3)²

y (max) = 200 + 275.40 - 137.64

y(max) = 337.76 m

Total time of flying (t₂) is when coordinate y = 0

y = 0 = y₀ + v₀y*t₂ - (1/2)* g*t₂²

0 = 200 + 30*√3*t₂ - 4.9*t₂² 4.9 t₂² - 51.96*t₂ - 200 = 0

The above equation is a second-degree equation, solving for t₂

t = [51.96 ±√ (51.96)² + 4*4.9*200]/9.8

t = [51.96 ±√2700 + 3920]/9.8

t = [51.96 ± 81.36]/9.8

t = 51.96 - 81.36)/9.8 we dismiss this solution ( negative time)

t₂ = 13.60 s time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

The components of the velocity just before striking the ground are:

vₓ = v₀ *cos60° vₓ = 30 m/s as we said before v₀ₓ is constant

vy = v₀y - g *t vy = 30*√3 - 9.8 * (13.60)

vy = 51.96 - 133.28 vy = - 81.32 m/s

The sign minus means that vy change direction

Finally the horizontal distance is:

x = vₓ * t

x = 30 * 13.60 m

x = 408 m
