Answer:

<em>The Sun produces energy by the process of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion occurs when lighter nuclei combine to produce a larger, heavier nucleus. In the process, energy is released. Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and pressures. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Sun when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms.</em>

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$u_K=0.862$

Explanation:

The force of friction between the quails feet and the ground is:

$F=m*a$

$F_K=m*a$

$F_K=u_k*m*g$

$u_K*m*g=m*a_c$

$u_K*g=a$

$u_K=\frac{a_c}{g}$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So the coefficient of static is solve

$u_K=\frac{\frac{v^2}{r}}{g}$

$u_K=\frac{v^2}{r*g}=\frac{(2.6m/s)^2}{0.80m*9.8m/s^2}$

$u_K=0.862$

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.55g need in order to have a kinetic energy of 7.6 •10^4 j?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

16613 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg

Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J

Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s

We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula

KE = 1/2 * m * v²

If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,

7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²

v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3

v² = 2.76*10^8

v = √2.76*10^8

v = 16613 m/s

Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J

Two forces, one of 100 ponds and the other 150 pounds act on the same object, at angles of 20°and 60°, respectively, withthe pos

soldi70 [24.7K]

<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

F₁ = 100 cos 20 i + 100 sin 20 j

F₁ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

F₂ = 150 cos 60 i + 150 sin 60 j

F₂ = 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j + 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 168.97 i + 164.10 j

$\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0$

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.

The linear momentum of a car of mass 1000 kg moving with a speed of 10 m/s is-----kg.m/s. HELP ME

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kilogram-meter per second (kg · m/s or kg · m · s -1 ) is the standard unit of momentum . Reduced to base units in the International System of Units ( SI ), a kilogram-meter per second is the equivalent of a newton-second (N · s), which is the SI unit of impulse .

Why are all bodies in nature electrically neutral? short answer please

DENIUS [597]

Answer: because they have equal numbers of protons

Explanation: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion
