Briefly describe how the Sun produces energy.

Physics
1 answer:
kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago

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>

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/ml. A piece of aluminum foil has a mass of 44 g. What is the volume of this piece of aluminum
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

C) 16.3 ml

Explanation:

Density is equal to the ratio between the mass of an object and its volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

In our problem, we know:

- density of aluminium: d=2.70 g/mL

- mass of the aluminium foil: m=44 g

So we can re-arrange the equation above and use these data to find the volume of the piece of aluminium foil:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{44 g}{2.70 g/mL}=16.3 mL

The atlas stone’s is a strong man competition where athletes have to load 5 stones of masses 100kg, 120kg, 140kg, 160kg and 180k
lyudmila [28]

Answer: 6250 joules

Explanation:

The work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to:

w = M*g*H

where h = 10m/s^2

then the total work that he did is equal to the sum of the work for every stone:

W = (100kg*g*H) + (120kg*g*H) + (140kg*g*H) + (160kg*g*H) + (180kg*g*H)

 = (100kg + 120kg + 140kg + 160kg + 180kg)*g*H

= (500kg)*g*H

and now we can repalce g by 10m/s^2 and H by 125cm

But you can notice that we have two different units of distance, so knowing that 100cm = 1m

we can write H =  125cm = (125/100) m = 1.25 m

Then we have:

H = 500kg*10m/s^2*1.25m = 6250 J

needhelpp101 Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the moon’s surface less than its potential ene
Vlad1618 [11]

If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.

  <em>Potential energy = (mass) x (<u>acceleration of gravity</u>) x (height) .</em>

-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ? 

Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only  16.5 percent as much on the Moon. 
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
