<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.

Find the total electric charge of 1.7 kg of electrons. me=9.11×10−31kg, e=1.60×10−19C.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$2.99\cdot 10^{11}C$

Explanation:

The mass of one electron is

$m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$

So the number of electrons contained in M=1.7 kg of mass is

$N=\frac{M}{m_e}=\frac{1.7 kg}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg}=1.87\cdot 10^{30}$

The charge of one electron is

$e=1.60\cdot 10^{-19} C$

So, the total charge of these electrons is equal to the charge of one electron times the number of electrons:

$Q=Ne=(1.87\cdot 10^{30})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)=2.99\cdot 10^{11}C$

Which statement describes how the photoelectric effect causes an electric

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. Light acts as particles, causing electrons on the surface it strikes to be destroyed.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light shined onto a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from that metal. It was observed that only certain frequencies of light are able to cause the ejection of electrons.
