Answer:

1) c. Helium

2) Iron

3) False.

Explanation:

1. Red dwarf is the smallest and the coolest star on the sequence. These are common stars in the milky way. Red dwarfs contains metals and the elements with higher atomic number. It is found that Helium is produced in red dwarf stars.

2. Iron is the highest atomic number element that is produced in cores of largest stars. The highest mass stars can make all elements up to iron, which is the heaviest element they can produce.

3. The end of stars life is dependent on the mass they are born with. It is not necessary that all red dwarf stars will become white dwarf stars faster than sun like star.

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is

Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

$F = AY\alpha \Delta T$

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

$\alpha$ = Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

$\Delta T$ = Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

$A = 4.45cm^2$

$T = 37K$

$\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}$

$Y = 200*10^9Gpa$

Replacing we have,

$F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)$

$F = 38526.1N$

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

Explanation:

Hello!

A parabolic motion is characterized in that its vertical component in Y is constantly changing, this is due to the constant downward acceleration of gravity.

When the movement starts the speed at Y is maximum, then when it reaches its maximum height point its speed is zero, and finally it begins to increase downwards until it touches the floor.

On the other hand, the horizontal speed remains constant AS THERE IS NO ACCELERATION IN HORIZONTAL DIRECTION.

therefore both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

Explanation:

Given data

Length h=2.0m

Angle α=25°

To find

Speed of bob

Solution

From conservation of energy we know that:

$P.E=K.E\\mgh=(1/2)mv^{2}\\ gh=(1/2)v^{2}\\v^{2}=\frac{gh}{0.5}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{gh}{0.5}}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^{2} )(2.0-2.0Cos(25^{o} ))}{0.5}}\\v=1.92m/s$
