The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.

What is nuclear fusion?

When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.

It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.

The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances.  Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

Using Figure 2, what is the momentum of Train Car A before the collision?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Option A. 180000 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Train Car A:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

For Train Car B:

Mass of train car B = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car B = 0 m/s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Momentum = mass × velocity

With the above formula, the momentum of train car A before collision can be obtained as follow:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 45000 × 4

Momentum of train car A = 180000 Kgm/s

Discuss the production, transmission, and usage of electricity in the context of conservation of energy. When electricity is “us
mr Goodwill [35]

There are huge losses in the transmission, production and usage of electricity and the reduction of these losses in order to save electricity is called as conservation of energy.

As per the statistics, there is loss of nearly 4% while the transmission of electricity. Like wise during production also, lot of electricity get wasted due to the inefficient material used. None of the production material nor the equipment used have 100% efficiency and thus there is always a possibility of energy wastage.

When it is said that the energy is wasted , it simply means that the energy production which should have been 100% as per calculation is not completely derived from the source due to the inefficient conversion process. For example, a turbine while rotating must convert 100 % of the water energy or water falling on it into electrical energy but the turbine is not able to do so as some of the water is lost or its energy is lost before conversion while going through the mechanical process.
