Answer: Nuclear Fission

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reactions are one of the nuclear reactions in which heavier nuclei splits into two or more lighter nuclei. In these reactions, neutrons are released with a large amount of energy.

General equation for nuclear fission reactions is given by:

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-U}^{A-V}\textrm{Y}+_U^V\textrm{W}+3_0^1n+\text{Energy}

Nuclear fusion reactions are one of the nuclear reactions in which two or more lighter nuclei combines to form heavier nuclei. In these reactions,   large amount of energy is released.

1. One of the timing devices Galileo used was his pulse. Drop a rubber ball from a height of
Kamila [148]

The number of pulse beats elapsed before the rubber ball hits the ground can be obtained when you carry out the experiment yourself. However, the pulse beat method of timing used by Galileo is not reliable because it varies from time to time.

Galileo was interested in studying how objects fall. His discovery was that all objects had the same acceleration irrespective of their mass. This observation was in direct contrast to Aristotle's assertion that the velocity of objects is proportional to their mass.

However, he used his pulse beats as timer during the experiment. This method is unreliable because the pulse beats of a person changes depending on the person's state of mind. A stop clock could have been a more reliable timer than pulse beats.

Although the class has no water, the students want to know if the cube will float or sink in water. Explain, in detail, the step
Nutka1998 [239]
Okay, so the density of water is 1g/cm3. In order for the cube to float, it has to be less than 1, and it will sink if it is more than 1 g/cm3. Use a triple beam balance to weigh the cube, looking at the metric ruler on the balance. Then, if the cube's density is more than 1, then you know it will float. If the density is less than 1, you know it will sink.
hope this helps, and I didn't know how to use the word "metric ruler"
