In nuclear fission heavier elements are split to make lighter elements whilst releasing energy. An atom, its nucleus to be more specific, is bombarded with neutrons. The nucleus becomes unstable and it starts to split/decay. It creates the fusion products. Neutrons and lighter elements are released; the neutrons from the nuclei of the atom(s) being split.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is the process in which a heavy nucleus is divided into two nuclei with smaller mass numbers, that is, lighter ones. This process provides enormous amounts of energy and consumes relatively small masses of material.

In general, when capturing a neutron, a heavy atomic nucleus experiences fission to produce two lighter nuclides, neutrons and large amounts of energy as depicted in the attached image.

A single 250 gram

2.2 x 10^-2

0.055 / 250 = 0.00022 - This would be 2.2 x 10^-4, but the question is asking for percent, not proportion, so multiply by 100% to get the percentage.

0.00022 * 100% = 0.022% = 2.2 * 10^-2

What is the situation when I might travel high velocity but low acceleration
Anna007 [38]
Cruising at 35,000 feet in an airliner, straight toward the east, 
at 500 miles per hour.  

Since your speed is not changing and you're moving in a straight line,
your acceleration is zero.
