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.

How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
marin [14]

Answer:

B. mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Both mass and height have the same effect on the gravitational potential energy of body.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of a body due to that of another body. It usually the energy at rest in a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

 G.P.E  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

We see that both the height and mass are directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy and as such, they have the same effect.
