Answer:
t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years
Explanation:
First we need to find the amount of energy that Sun produce in one day.
Energy = Power * Time
Energy of Sun in 1 day = (3.839 x 10²⁶ W)(1 day)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)
Energy of Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J
Now, the time required by the nuclear power generator, in years, will be:
Energy of power generator = Energy Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J
3.32 x 10³¹ J = Power * Time
3.32 x 10³¹ J = (3.937 x 10⁹ W)(t years)(365 days/1 year)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)
t = 3.32 x 10³¹ /1.24 x 10¹⁷
<u>t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years</u>
Answer:
The temperature required is near about 3 million kelvin
Explanation:
The brilliance of the star results from the nuclear reaction that take place in the core of the star and radiate a huge amount of thermal energy resulting from the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
For this reaction to take place, the temperature of the star's core must be near about 3 million kelvin.
The hydrogen atoms collide and starts and the energy from the collision results in the heating of the gas cloud. As the temperature comes to near about 
, the nuclear fusion reaction takes place in the core of the gas cloud.
The huge amount of thermal energy from the nuclear reaction gives the gas cloud a brilliance resulting in a protostar.
Answer: 7291.2 joules
Explanation:
Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.
Thus, Workdone = Force X distance
Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres
mass of box = 62kg
Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2
Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity
i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2
= 607.6 Newton
So, Workdone = Force X Distance
Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres
Workdone = 7291.2 joules
Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.
The number of kilowatts used by an individual to operate his appliances is determined as 12.1 kWh.
<h3>
Average daily power consumption</h3>
The average daily power consumption is the amount of electric energy consumed by an individual on a daily rate.
The average daily power consumption of individuals in USA is 12,100 W-hr.
<h3>Converting watts to kilowatts</h3>
E = 12,100 Whr/1000
E = 12.1 kWh
Thus, the number of kilowatts used by an individual to operate his appliances is determined as 12.1 kWh.
