The sun is not a burning fire.

It's much much much hotter than that.

The sun's energy is the result of continuous nuclear fusion in it's core. We know how to do that on Earth, but the only thing we've been able to use it for so far is hydrogen bombs and other thermonuclear weapons.

Answer:

through nuclear fusion

Explanation:

The burning of the sun is not chemical combustion. It is nuclear fusion. This combustion releases energy which we experience as the heat and light given off by the flame.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at

jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy stored in a capacitor

= 1/2 CV²

C is capacitance and V is potential of the capacitor .

When capacitor is charged to 24 V ,

E₁ = 1/2 x 2.4 x 24 x24 = 691.2 J

When it is charged to 12 volt

E₂ = 1/2 CV²

.5 X 2.4 X 12 X12

= 172.8 J

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) $t=2s$

b) $h_{max}=1024ft$

c) $v_{y}=-256ft/s$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

$v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2$

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)$

$y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft$

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

$h=-16t^2+64t+960$

$1024=-16t^2+64t+960$

$0=-16t^2+64t-64$

Solving the quadratic equation

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64$

$t=2s$

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s$

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

$v=-256ft/s$
