Explanation:

By using Einstein equation,

E = mc²

m = E/c²

As the sun's energy output remains constant, we are taking it as 3.839×10²⁶.

speed of light c = 299,729,458 m/s

by putting these values in above equation,

m = (3.839×10²⁶)/(299.729,458)²

m = 4.721×10⁹kg.

It is the mass that loss per second.

Now a year (including leap year) has 31,556,926 seconds. Thus the 10 billion years equal 1.348×10²⁷kg of total mass loss.

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a function of time according to the equation :

y = 0.049 \cos(7t) .......(1)

The general equation of a wave is given by :

y=A\cos(\omega t) .......(2)

A is amplitude of wave

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

A = 0.049 meters

So, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.

U-238 has protons and146 neutrons. A particular isotope of plutonium has 94 protons, neutrons, and a mass number of 241. Thorium
enyata [817]

#1

^{238}U

so mass number = 238

mass number = protons + neutrons

given that

neutrons = 146

238 = protons + 146

protons = 92

#2

^{241}Pu

so mass number = 241

mass number = protons + neutrons

given that

Protons = 94

241 = 94 + neutrons

neutrons = 147

#3

^ATh

A = mass number

Protons = 90

Neutrons = 137

A = protons + Neutrons

A = 90 + 137 = 227

Shareen performs a skit to model a method of charging. In the skit, a painter shakes her hand and gets paint on her.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

It models conduction because the painter represents a charged object and the paint represents electrons that are transferred through contact.

Explanation:

Conduction phenomenon of charging is the process of charging in which two bodies are made in contact with each other so that charges are transferred due to potential difference of two bodies.

here we know that when hands are shake then it will have paint on it. so here due to hand shake the hands are in contact with charge particles and due to contact the electrons are transferred to the hand.

Now here we need to assume that charge of paint must be opposite that of the charge on the hand because only due to opposite charge attraction the paint must be transferred to the hand

SO here correct answer will be

It models conduction because the painter represents a charged object and the paint represents electrons that are transferred through contact.
