Answer: Nuclear fusion.

Explanation: The sun is a medium-sized star, its radius is  695.510 km and its mass is equivalent to that obtained by bringing together about 110 planets equal to Earth (6371 km is its radius).

It has six layers: The core, the radioactive zone, the convective zone, the photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona.

Magnetic field disruptions near active regions can generate strong explosions in the sun such as sun flashes and coronal mass ejections. The degree of complexity of the sun´s magnetic field increases and decreases with the course of each sunspot cycle.  

Sir Arthur Eddington was the first to evaluate all the data and dared to conjecture that nuclear fusion, the process that creates heavy elements from the fusion of lighter ones, could be responsible for the great production of the sun´s energy; this process make the sun´s energy was taken for the earth and the planet get back to the sun recycled energy. The sun has a very large and complex magnetic field; the average magnetic field of the sun is approximately 1 Gauss, almost twice as strong as the average magnetic field of the Earth´s surface (approximately 0.5 Gauss). Because the surface of the sun is more than 12.000 times larger than the Earth, the overall influence of the sun´s magnetic field is immensely large.

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the third period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negativ
sergeinik [125]

The question is incomplete, the atoms in the third period referred to in the question are shown in the image attached.

Answer:

Cl>Si>Ar

Explanation:

Electron affinity refers to the energy released when an atom accepts electron (s) to form a negative ion. It is a periodic property that shows similar trends as electro negativity.

Considering the atoms in period three given in the question; chlorine will have the most negative value of electron affinity. This owes to the fact that halogens accept electrons easily to form negative ions. Silicon in group 14 shows much less negative value of electron affinity while argon, a noble gas, does not accept electrons at all and has an electron affinity of zero KJMol-1 by standard.

A white light shines through a diffraction grating that is ruled at 900 lines/cm. A detector is 1.2 cm long and is to be used to
katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Diffraction grating is ruled by 900 lines/cm

The detector length is

h= 1.2cm =1.2/100= 0.012m

Short wavelength is λs= 564.6nm

Long wavelength is λl = 571.2nm

Question: how far from the grating should the screen with the detector on it be placed. x=?

Since there are 900 lines per centimeter, each line is separated by 1/900 of a centimeter.

The distance between slits is d is given as

d = 1/900 cm

d = 0.00111cm

d = 0.0000111m = 1.11×10^-5 m

Let us call the two angles θs for short-wavelength (564.6nm) and θl for long-wavelength (571.2nm). Diffraction grating is given as

d sin(θs)= mλl

sin(θs)= mλl / d

Since we are given 7th order, then m=7

sin(θs)= 7×564.6×10^-9 / 1.11×10^-5

sin(θs)= 0.3557

θs = arcsin(0.3557)

θs = 20.84°

Applying the same principle for long wavelength

d sin(θl)= mλl

sin(θl)= mλl / d

Since we are given 7th order, then m=7

sin(θl)= 7×571.2×10^-9 / 1.11×10^-5

sin(θl)= 0.3599

θl = arcsin(0.3599)

θl = 21.1°

Using trigonometry,

Then, tanθ = opposite/adjacent

Adjacent is the distance between the screen and the detector

Opposite Is the length of detector, which serves like a height

Tanθl = h/x

x= h / Tan(θl)

x = 0.012 / Tan(21.1)

x = 0.0311m

x =3.11cm

Check attachment for better understanding the how I used the trigonometric function and the triangle I used.

2-lbm of water at 500 psia intially fill the 1.5-ft3 left chamber of a partitioned system. The right chamber’s volume is also 1.
quester [9]

Explanation:

Formula for final volume of chamber if the partition is ruptured will be as follows.

        V_{2} = 1.5 + 1.5

                   = 3.0 ft^{3}

As mass remains constant then the specific volume at this state will be as follows.

             \nu_{2} = \frac{V_{2}}{m}

                          = \frac{3.0}{2}

                          = 1.5 ft^{3}/lbm

Now, at final temperature T_{2} = 300 F according to saturated water tables.

   \nu_{f} = 0.01745 ft^{3}/lbm

   \nu_{fg} = 6.4537 ft^{3}/lbm  

   \nu_{g} = 6.47115 ft^{3}/lbm

Hence, we obtained \nu_{f} < \nu_{2} < \nu_{g} and the state is in wet condition.

       \nu_{2} = \nu_{f} + x_{2}\nu_{fg}

             1.5 = 0.01745 + x_{2} \times 6.4537

        x_{2} = 0.229

Now, the final pressure will be the saturation pressure at T_{2} = 300 F

and,   P_{2} = P_{sat} = 66.985 psia

Formula to calculate internal energy at the final state is as follows.

         U_{2} = m(u_{f}_{300 F} + x_{2}u_{fg_{300 F}}

                   = 2(269.51 + 0.229 \times 830.45)

                   = 920.56 Btu

Therefore, we can conclude that the final pressure of water, in psia is 66.985 psia and total internal energy, in Btu, at the final state is 920.56 Btu.
