There are three basic steps in a nuclear fission chain reaction are Initiation, Propagation, Termination.

<h3>What are the three steps of nuclear fission ?</h3>

1. Initiation

The nuclear fission  of U_{235} ^{92} is started by the absorption of a neutron; a single atom must react in order for the chain reaction to begin.

2. Propagation:-

With each stage producing additional product, this component of the process is repeated repeatedly. When U_{236} ^{92} splits apart, neutrons are released, which start the nuclear fission of more uranium atoms.

3. Termination:

The chain will come to an end eventually. Termination might take place if the reactant U_{235} ^{92} is exhausted or if the subsequent neutrons in the chain leave the sample without being absorbed by U_{235} ^{92}.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?
GaryK [48]
Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment. 
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).

The current in a hair dryer measures 19 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?
Masja [62]
Voltage  =  (current) x (resistance)

             =  (19 A)  x  (14 ohms)  =  266 volts .

Note:  Be careful using that thing ! 

It's dissipating

       I² R  =  (19 A)² x (14 ohms)  =  5,054 watts ! ! !

That's an awful lot of power for a blow-dryer ! 

The dryer is certainly not using very much of that power to run the fan. 
Most of it is being used to heat air.  5 kilowatts is more power than most
toasters or microwave ovens use, so please be careful with how much of
your hair or skin you expose to that hot-air blast.  You could probably cook
a meatloaf with it.
