Astroturf is a durable artificial surface used to cover athletic fields. a soccer field 0.06214- mile-long by 253 ft wide is covered with a ½ inch layer of astroturf. the density of the astroturf is 187 oz/ft3. calculate the weight of the astroturf in newtons (n)

The weight of the Astroturf is 179,684.31 Newtons.

Explanation:

Length of a soccer field = 0.06214 mile = 328.0992 feet

(1 mile = 5280 feet)

Breadth of a soccer field  = 253 feet

Length of a Astroturf which soccer field is to be covered, l = 328.0992 feet

Breadth of a Astroturf which soccer field is to be covered ,b = 253 feet

Thickness of a Astroturf with which soccer field is to be covered = h

h = ½ inch = 0.5 inch = 0.041665 feet

(1 inches = 0.08333 feet)

Volume of the Astroturf ,V= l × b × h

Mass of the Astroturf = m

Density of the Astroturf = d = 187

1 oz = 0.0283495 kg

Weight of the Astroturf = W

W = mg

The weight of the Astroturf is 179,684.31 Newtons.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
