Answer:

C. nuclear fusion, because the equation shows two hydrogen nuclei combining to form a helium nucleus

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction can either be; fission or fusion. Nuclear fission is the process by which a massive nucleus breaks in to two smaller nuclei of almost the same size with the release of high amount of energy. Nuclear fusion is the process by which two nuclei reacts, joins, to produce a massive nucleus (compared to the masses of the reacting elements) with the release of high amount of energy.

From the given equation, two hydrogen isotopes; deuterium and tritium reacts with each other to produce helium nucleus and a neutron.

This reaction is a nuclear fusion which produces a massive nuclei.

In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field has a magnitude of 4.30 x 104 n/c and points in the positive x direction.

denis23 [38]

The magnetic force exerted by a field E to a charge q is given by F=Eq. In this case, F=4.30*10^4*(6.80mu C). 1mu C=10^-6C, so F=4.30*6.80=10^-2=0.29N. The direction is in the x direction, the direction that the field is applied because the charge is positive.

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

When s = Db, t = 2t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db$

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db

A 0.200-kg mass attached to the end of a spring causes it to stretch 5.0 cm. If another 0.200-kg mass is added to the spring, th

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

A: 4 times as much

B: 200 N/m

C: 5000 N

D: 84,8 J

Explanation:

In the first question, we have to caculate the constant of the spring with this equation:

$m*g=k*x$

Getting the k:

$k=\frac{m*g}{x} =\frac{0,2[kg]*9,81[\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]}{0,05[m]} =39,24[\frac{N}{m}]$

Then we can calculate how much the spring stretch whith the another mass of 0,2kg:

$x=\frac{m*g}{k} =\frac{0,4[kg]*9,81[\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]}{39,24[\frac{N}{m}]} =0,1[m]\\$

The energy of a spring:

$E=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^{2}$

For the first case:

$E=\frac{1}{2} *39,24[\frac{N}{m}]*(0,05[m])^{2} =0,049 [J]$

For the second case:

$E=\frac{1}{2} *39,24[\frac{N}{m}]*(0,1[m])^{2} =0,0196 [J]$

If you take the relation E2/E1 = 4.

We have the next facts:

x=0,005 m

E = 0,0025 J

Using the energy equation for a spring:

$E=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^{2}$ ⇒ $k=\frac{E*2}{x^{2} } =\frac{0,0025[J]*2}{(0,005[m])^{2} } =200[\frac{N}{m} ]$

The potential energy of the diver will be equal to the kinetic energy in the moment befover hitting the watter.

$E=W*h=500[N]*10[m]=5000[J]$

Watch out the units in this case, the 500 N reffer to the weighs of the diver almost relative to the earth, thats equal to m*g.

The work is equal to the force acting in the direction of the motion. so we have to do the diference beetwen angles to obtain the effective angle where the force is acting: 47-15=32 degree.

The force acting in the direction of the ramp will be the projection of the force in the ramp, equal to F*cos(32). The work will be:

W=F*d=F*cos(32)*d=10N*cos(32)*10m=84,8J

Lisa [10]

On comparing values , we see that student which has the largest percent error is A. Student 4: 9.61 m/s2 .

Explanation:

Here, we have Four students measured the acceleration of gravity. The accepted value for their location is 9.78m/s2. Let's calculate which student’s measurement has the largest percent error :

A. Student 4: 9.61 m/s2

Percentage of error = $\frac{9.78-9.61}{9.78} (100) = 1.738%$ %.
