You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weight the sample and find that its weight is 28.4
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

Q=mc\Delta T

c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

\Delta T = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}

c=14.8\ J/kg. K

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Nuclear fusion is more reliable and sustainable source of energy than nuclear fission chain reaction justify this statement with
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

1. Nuclear fusion does not generate radioactive nuclear wastes as nuclear fission does.

2. Nuclear fusion cannot lead to disastrous powerplant explosions as nuclear fission does.

3. More energy is generated during nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion involves the combination of lighter atoms such as hydrogen to form a heavier nucleus, in the process producing a tremendous amount of energy.

Nuclear fission on the other hand involves splitting a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei, releasing energy in the process.

  • Nuclear fusion can be more reliable than nuclear fission in energy generation due to the following reasons:
  • There are no radioactive waste products obtained as a result of nuclear fusion, unlike nuclear fission. This is because the elements involved in Nuclear fusion are relatively radioactively stable elements.
  • The risk of nuclear powerplant explosion due to out of control chain reactions is reduced in nuclear fusion because the reaction can only occur in perfect conditions under high pressure and temperatures <em>(e.g the sun)</em>. When any of these conditions is removed due to a fault, the reaction automatically stops.
  • More energy is generated during nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission.
