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}.

In a scientific experiment, the variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the
miskamm [114]
Answer:
The variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the independent variable.

Example:
If the flow velocity at the bottom of a tank is measured by varying the height of water in the tank, we are measuring velocity as a function of water height.
Therefore,
water height  =  independent variable (controlled)
velocity =  dependent variable (measured in response to water height).

Mathematically,
v = f(h)
where v =  response variable (dependent)
            h = controlled variable (independent).

A playground merry-go-round has radius 2.40 m and moment of inertia 2100 kg⋅m2 about a vertical axle through its center, and it
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.31 rad/s

b) 100 J

c) 6.67 W

Explanation:

(a) the force would generate a torque of:

T = FR = 18 * 2.4 = 43.2 Nm

According to Newton 2nd law, the angular acceleration would be

\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{43.2}{2100} = 0.021 rad/s^2

It starts from rest, then after 15s it would achieve a speed of

\omega = \alpha t = 0.021 * 15 = 0.31 rad/s

(b) The distance angle swept by it is:

\theta = \frac{\alpha t^2}{2} = \frac{0.021 * 15^2}{2} = 2.314 rad

Hence the work by the child

W = T\theta = 43.2 *2.314  \approx 100 J

c) Average power to work per time unit

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{100}{15} = 6.67 W

A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s
ankoles [38]

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

can somebody help me answer this question? A car went from 110 m/s to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car
gogolik [260]

Answer:

-1.5m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be thought of as [Change in Velocity]/[Change in time]. To find these changes, you simply subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity.

So for this question you have:

  • V_i = 110m/s
  • V_f = 80m/s
  • t_i = 0s
  • t_f = 20s

which means that the acceleration = (80-110)/(20-0)[m/s²] = (-30/20)m/s² = -1.5m/s²

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up
