Answer:

Nuclear energy is not limited to the generation of electricity, but may equally well be used for such important tasks as desalination, production of hydrogen, space heating and process-heat applications in industry as well as for extraction of carbon from CO2 to combine with hydrogen to create synthetic liquid fuels.

A tennis ball of mass m=0.060 kg and speed v=25 m/s strikes a wall at a 45 angle and rebounds with the same velocity at 45°. Wha
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Impulse which can be defined as the product between mass and the total change in velocity. That is to say

p = m\Delta v

Here,

m = mass

\Delta v = Change in velocity

As we can see there are two types of velocity at the moment the object makes the impact,

the first would be the initial velocity perpendicular to the wall and the final velocity perpendicular to the wall.

That is to say,

v_i = vcos\theta

v_f = -v sin\theta

El angulo dado es de 45° y la velocidad de 25, por tanto

v_i = (25)cos(45) = 17.68m/s

v_f = -(25)sin(45) = -17.68m/s

The change of sign indicates a change in the direction of the object.

Therefore the impulse would be as

p = 0.060(-17.68-17.68)

p = -2.12kg \cdot m/s

The negative sign indicates that the pulse is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity.

Suppose an X-ray binary is found in which the visible star is a 12 M⦿ red giant, the orbital period is 3.65 days, and the semima
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

If the mass of a star is greater than 3 solar masses, it will create a black hole. If its mass is less, it will create a neutron star.

Explanation:

If a star's gravity is high enough, when it condenses on itself, it will form a black hole. Otherwise, it will create a large amount of highly dense matter, such as a neutron star. It can be said that if the mass of a star is greater than 3 solar masses, it will create a black hole. If its mass is less, it will create a neutron star.

sergey [27]
The internal energy of the system is characterized by the equation U = Q + W where U is the internal energy, Q is the heat and W is work. You are given 2,380 J of energy to do work as 12,900 J of heat so add up. The internal energy is 15,280J.

In a typical Van de Graaff linear accelerator, protons are accelerated through a potential difference of 20 MV. What is their ki
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a) 2 x10^7 eV

b) 2 x10^4 keV

c) 20 MeV

d) 0.02 Gev

e) 3.2 x 10^-12J

Explanation:

The potential difference = 20 x 10^6 V

The charge on the proton = 1.6 x10^-19

The work done to move the proton will be basically the proton will acquire if it accelerates.

Kinetic energy gained = ΔVq = 20 x10^6 x 1.6 x 10^-19

                                                 =3.2 x 10^-12J or 2 x10^7 eV

2 x10^7 eV = 2 x10^4 keV = 20 MeV = 0.02 Gev
