The correct statement about nuclear fusion is the last one: "it produces nearly all the elements that are heavier than helium". Nuclear fusion is the process of combination of two smaller atoms into a larger one. It requires a high activation energy, which is reached in the stars. Elements from He to Iron were formed in the Sun, but larger elements require a higher energy and are formed inside supernovas.
Answer:
If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas increases. This can be understood by imagining the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.
Explanation:
If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure. Conversely if you cool the molecules down they will slow and the pressure will be decreased.
To calculate a change in pressure or temperature using Gay Lussac's Law.
Answer:
Options A, B, and C are all possible.
Explanation:
We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?
If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.
If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.
If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
If it is totally absorbed pressure is calculated as follows .
Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .
= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸
= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²
b ) weight of tritium atom
= 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
acceleration = force / mass
= 3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷
= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²
= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²
