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.

Which pair of terms correctly fills the blanks in the following sentence? ________ is a property of an object while ________ is

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

D) resistance, resistivity

Explanation:

Resistance is a physical quantity that indicates the opposition of an object to conduct electricity, this quantity depends on different factors such as temperature, material, object length, among other things. The resistance of two objects of the same material may be different, because it depends on the specifications of the object.

On the other hand, resistivity is a more general quantity, since it is assigned to materials and depends only on the nature of the material and its temperature.

So the resistivity is related to the meterial rather than the object.

The answer is: Resistance is a property of an object while resistivity is a property of a material.

A 45.00 kg person in a 43.00 kg cart is coasting with a speed of 19 m/s before it goes up a hill. there is no friction, what is

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

the maximum vertical height the person in the cart can reach is 18.42 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the person in cart, m₁ = 45 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 43 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

final speed of the cart before it goes up the hill, v = 19 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2_{max}\\\\ gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v^2_{max}\\\\h_{max} = \frac{v^2_{max}}{2g} \\\\h_{max} =\frac{(19)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\h_{max} = 18.42 \ m$

Therefore, the maximum vertical height the person in the cart can reach is 18.42 m
