How is fission used to produce electricity? a. the heat generated from the fission reaction is used to boil water, which rises a

nd spins a turbine. the turbine then turns a generator. b. the fission reaction occurs in a metal chamber that is rotated like a ball. the fission reaction generates a magnetic field which causes the metal chamber to generate electrical discharge as it is rotated. c. the fuel rods are placed between two thermal capacitors. as the thermal energy from fission raises the electrons up an energy level, the capacitors collect the electrons. d. fission cannot be used to produce electricity, only fusion.

According to the research, the correct option is a. The heat generated from the fission reaction is used to boil water, which rises and spins a turbine.

<h3>How is fision used to produce electricity?</h3>

In fusion, two atoms come together to form a larger one, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the process, this is used by generators to produce electricity.

As a result of nuclear fusion, large amounts of heat are generated that are used to produce pressurized steam, which allows mechanical energy to be obtained to start up electric power generators.

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the research, the correct option is a. The heat generated from the fission reaction is used to boil water, which rises and spins a turbine.

You have four fixed-volume containers at STP . Container A has 0.5 mol of gas in 11.2 L. Container B has 2 mol of gas in 22.4 L.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Container A and C

Explanation:

ideal gas equation gives P=nRT/V

so at constant Temperature and pressure, P=n/T

Container A and C after dividing number of moles and Volume, are found to be the same=0.0446

15. If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the
goldfiish [28.3K]

The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.

This means that we can write the following equation:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 800 kg is the mass of the sport car

u_1 = 13.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive  direction)

m_2 = 1200 kg is the mass of the truck

u_2 = 25.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

v is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(800)(13)+(1200)(25)}{800+1200}=20.2 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.
