Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth

ermic. No molecular bonds are broken in nuclear reactions. Protons and neutrons are exchanged in chemical reactions. In nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy.

More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.

An electron is placed on a line connecting two fixed point charges of equal charge but the opposite sign. The distance between t
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a)    F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2} ),   b) x = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

         F =k \frac{q_2q_2}{r^2}

         

Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.

          F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂

let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are

left side - electron       r₁ = x

right side -electron     r₂ = d-x

let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q

we substitute

          F_net = k q Q  ( \frac{1}{r_1^2}+ \frac{1}{r_2^2})

          F _net = kqQ  ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(d-x)^2} )

         

let's substitute the values

          F_net = 9 10⁹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.30-x)^2} )

          F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2} )

now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values ​​of the distance (x) and the net force are given

x (m)        F (N)

0.05        27.0 10-16

0.10          8.10 10-16

0.15          5.76 10-16

0.20         8.10 10-16

0.25        27.0 10-16

b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m

How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?
Rina8888 [55]
I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it.  But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is: 

             (the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do.  The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

PLZZZZZ ANSWER Which example describes a nonrenewable resource?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

I believe that the answer is D. There are drilling platforms all along the coast that are used to drill for natural gas that can be used to generate electricity.

Explanation:

Solar panels use the sun, and that is renewable.

The power plant uses tides and waves, they are renewable.

Windmills use wind, that is renewable.

So, the answer is D.

A 180 g model airplane charged to 18 mC and traveling at 2.2 m/s passes within 8.6 cm of a wire, nearly parallel to its path, ca
viva [34]

Answer:

a=0.2*10^{-5}g

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass M=180=>0.18kg

Charge Q=18mC=18*10^-^3C

Velocity v=2.2m/s

Length of Wire L=8.6cm=>0.086

Current I=30A

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field of Wire B is mathematically given by

 B=\frac{\mu_0*I}{2\pi*l}

 B=\frac{4*3.14*10^-^7*I}{2*3.14*8.6}

 B=6.978*10^{-5}T

Generally the equation for Force on the plane F is mathematically given by

 F=qvB

Therefore

 ma=qvB

 a=\frac{qvB}{m}

 a=\frac{18*10^{-5}83.4*6.978*10^{-5}}{0.18kg}

 a=2.37*10^{-5}

Therefore in Terms of g's

 a=\frac{2.37*10^{-5}}{9.8}

 a=0.2*10^{-5}g
