Answer:

B

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei. When nuclei fission energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Fission is the break of the nuclei of an unstable atom, releasing heat in the process. By the graph shown, U-238 has less average binding energy per nucleon comparing to U-235. Because it has less binding energy, it is more difficult for it to react (it has less energy to release), so it is more stable than U-235.

The product of its fission is the U-235, an isotope that has a small mass than the uranium. So the mass that is lost during fission is converted to the binding energy in the isotope, making it slightly higher (the difference of mass is only 3 amu).

Y=1/2 at^2 solve for t
Aloiza [94]

Explanation:

y = ½ at²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2y = at²

Divide both sides by a:

t² = 2y/a

Take the square root of both sides:

t = √(2y/a)

Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

A beam of monochromatic light is aimed at a slit of width and forms a diffraction pattern. In which case is the width of the cen
AysviL [449]

When the incident light is yellow the width of the central band greater. Single-wavelength light sources are known as monochromatic lights, where mono stands for one and chroma for color. Monochromatic lights are defined as visible light that falls inside a specific range of wavelengths. It has a wavelength that falls within a constrained wavelength range.

A laser beam is the ideal illustration of monochromatic light. A monochromatic light beam produced by a single atomic transition with a particular single wavelength is what makes up a laser. A color scheme that consists solely of different shades of one color is referred to as monochromatic.
