nuclear fusion
Answer:
1. Solar wind: a stream of plasma.
2. Coronal mass ejection: includes prominences and solar flares.
3. Gamma ray photon: energy released during nuclear fusion.
Explanation:
1. Solar wind: a stream of plasma i.e charged particles such as ions, protons, alpha, and electrons that continuously escape at high speed from the Sun because of the very hot plasma contained in the solar corona.
2. Coronal mass ejection: includes prominences and solar flares that flow outward into interplanetary space. Thus, it's a release of solar wind plasma and magnetic field from the outer atmosphere or corona of the sun.
Additionally, a solar prominence is also known as filament and it can be defined as a large, bright, dense cloud of luminous ionized gas such as hydrogen, sodium calcium, etc., that erupts (extends) from the surface of the sun. It can linger in the corona for a very long time, reaching hundreds of thousands of kilometers into the sun's atmosphere (space).
3. Gamma ray photon: energy released during nuclear fusion of radioactive isotopes such as cobalt-60 or cesium-137. It has the shortest wavelength and highest energy in the electromagnetic radiation spectrum.
An electromagnetic spectrum refers to a range of frequency and wavelength that an electromagnetic wave is distributed or extends. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises of gamma rays, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, radio waves, and infrared radiation.
The speed of light is 3 x 10^8 m/s. Find the wavelength for a typical AM radio wave with a frequency of 600 kHz. Answer in units of m.
Answer:
wavelength = (3×10^8 m/s)(6×10^5 Hz)

Qué esperas que pase cuando las partículas alfa de poca energía se acerquen a un núcleo con muchos protones?
Answer:
Sufrirá una deflección en su recorrido.
Explanation:
Las partículas alfa son nucleos de He (dos protones mas dos neutrones), por lo tanto tienen una carga neta positiva.
Ahora, al acercarse al nucleo de un átomo con muchos protones y con baja energía, la partícula alfa sufrirá una deflección en su recorrido debido a las fuerzas de repulsión electrostática que siente la partícula, ya que el nucelo posee caraga positiva.

If Europium (Eu) undergoes proton decay and loses 3 protons, which element will it become?
Answer:
Neodymium (Nd)
Explanation:
An element is made up of atom, which contains three subatomic particles namely; proton, electron, and neutron. In a neutral atom, the number of protons determines the atomic number of that element and the atomic number of an element is the identity of that element in the periodic table.
Hence, a change in the proton number of an element means a change in the atomic number and ultimately a change of that element. In this question, Europium (Eu) element with atomic number, 63, loses three protons. This means that that atom now has 60 protons, which denotes the atomic number of another element called Neodymium (Nd).
Therefore, Europium (Eu) element has become Neodymium (Nd) due to loss of protons.

Which of the following has 5 significant digits?
O 0.00030
O 50,000
O 100.0300
O 500.00
Answer:
50,000
Explanation:
when we say significant digits we mean the numbers that matter when stating the value of the number.
0.00030 can be written as 0.0003 without affecting it's value, the last zero is not significant.
50,000 all of the numbers here are significant to its value if we take away a zero it becomes 5,000 which is not equal to 50,000. so every digit here is significant
100.0300 can be written as 100.03 without loosing any value
500.00 can be written as 500 without loosing any value. ( think of this as $500.00, this also equals $500)

A 6.00 volt battery is in a circuit with two resistors, A and B, connected in parallel. If the current flowing
out of the battery is 90.0 mA, what is the value in ohms of B if A is 100 ?
Answer: [tex]200\Omega[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
The battery used is 6V in magnitude
The current flow is 90 mA
If the resistance of A is [tex]100\Omega[/tex]
Net resistance of the circuit is
[tex]R_{net}=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\\Rightarrow R_{net}=\dfrac{6}{90\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\Rightarrow R_{net}=\dfrac{200}{3}\Omega[/tex]
If A and B are in parallel then their net resistance must be [tex]\frac{200}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{\frac{200}{3}}=\dfrac{1}{100}+\dfrac{1}{R_b}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{R_b}=\dfrac{3}{200}-\dfrac{1}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{R_b}=\dfrac{3-2}{200}\\\\\Rightarrow R_b=200\Omega[/tex]

Higher amplitudes sound will have a _____________________ sound while lower amplitude will have a __________________________ sound. 10. The speed of sound is dependent on density and temperature of the medium being used so that higher density or temperature will yield a (higher / lower) speed (Kinetic Molecular Theory). 11. Give an example of any resonance heard: 12. Give an example of any echo heard. 13. Give an example of any evidence that sound is energy traveling in waves.
Answer:
9) HIGHER AND LOWER INTESITY, 10) speed of sound must decrease.
11) guitar the strings, flute, 12) In the mountains, 13) sound of a low frequency horn (sub-wofeer)
Explanation:
In this exercise we are asked to complete the sentences.
9) the intensity of the sound is the square of the amplitude, the missing words are
HIGHER INTESITY
LOWER INTENSITY
10) the speed of sound is
v = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho} }[/tex]
and it is also related to temperature
v = [tex]v_o \sqrt{1+ \frac{T}{273} }[/tex]
We must be careful since the compressibility modulus (B) changes significantly between the solid, liquid and gaseous states, if we are in the same medium, the speed of sound decreases with increasing density. For a higher density the speed of sound decreases
Also the speed of sound increases with temperature, but its effect is less,
Therefore, by having these two effects in the opposite direction, the change in density is more important, so the speed of sound must decrease.
.
11) when you listen to a guitar the strings resonate with the instrument body
on the flute has a resonance between the blown air and the flute tube
12) When you are in front of a tall object, the sound is reflected and the echo is heard.
In the mountains, in the squares where there is a large object that reflects in sound
13) when we hear the sound of a low frequency horn (sub-wofeer) we feel the vibration of the air, this is an effect of the pressure energy of the sound on our chest

ohms, and the equivalent resistance
of the combination is 14.5 ohms.
What is the value of R2?
(Unit = ohm)
Answer:
The value of R₂ is equal to 24.75 ohms.
Explanation:
Given that,
Two resistors, R₁ and R₂, are connected in parallel.
The equivalent resistance is 14.5 ohms
We need to find the value of R₂.
When two resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is given by :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{14.5}=\dfrac{1}{35}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{1}{14.5}-\dfrac{1}{35}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_2}=0.04039\\\\R_2=\dfrac{1}{0.04039}\\\\R_2=24.75\ \Omega[/tex]
So, the value of R₂ is equal to 24.75 ohms.

7. The Voyager 1 space probe was launched in the 1970's and is now the furthest
man-made object from earth - it has actually left the solar system. At its current speed it
could travel across the US, a distance of about 4500 km in 265 seconds (a little less
than 5 minutes!) What is its average speed in kilometers per second?
PLEASE HELP I NEED THE FORMULA AND ANSWER THANK YOU!!
Answer:
v = 16.98 km/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance, d = 4500 km
Time, t = 265 s
We need to find its average speed. The total distance covered divided by total time taken is called average speed of an object. So,
[tex]v=\dfrac{4500\ km}{265\ s}\\\\=16.98\ km/s[/tex]
So, the average speed is 16.98 km/s.
