compare the theories that scientists proposed about the source of the sun's energy with the process of nuclear fusion in the sun

1 answer:

3 0

The sun's source of energy is know as nuclear fusion (means to fuse) this process has a small nuclei atoms that join together to form a large nucleus. The result of this process is released energy. The fusion of hydrogen into helium in the sun makes a large amount of energy and this is known as the sun's energy source.
The theories that scientist proposed about the source of the sun's energy was that the sun burned fuel to generate its energy and that gravity was causing the sun to shrink slowly and have its energy released. Also both of these theories were disproved.

What is mass times acceleration?

frozen [14]

Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/ $s^{2}$ .

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.

What is the kinetic energy of a 50-kg child running to catch the school bus at

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Option C

100 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, KE is given by

$KE=0.5mv^{2}$ where m is the mass and v is the velocity

Substituting 50 Kg for mass, m and 2 m/s for velocity v then we obtain

$KE=0.5*50*2^{2}=100 J$

Therefore, the child's kinetic energy is equivalent to 100 J

Electricity is the movement of _____ from one atom to another along a conductor.

prohojiy [21]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

"Electricity is the movement of charges from one atom to another along a conductor."

The movement of the the charges is due to the presence of a potential difference across the conductor, which pushes the charges. More specifically, in normal conductors, the carriers of electricity are the electrons. Therefore we can rewrite the sentence as

"Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor."
