Answer:

False

Explanation:

This statement is False.

The atom is made up of nucleus in which there are neutrons and protons and electrons which are revolving around the atom's nucleus.

nuclear energy is basically energy the source of which is nucleus of the atom. there are two methods by which nuclear energy is produces.

1) Nuclear fission

2) nuclear fusion

In nuclear fission, the neutron is bombarded on the nucleus of an atom of an element. It splits and produces a daughter nucleus, neutrons and huge amount of energy

In nuclear fusion, two nuclei of the atoms fuse and produce huge amount of energy.

In both of above mentioned cases, there is neither any role of electrons to produce energy nor in storing nuclear energy.

So, the given statement is wrong

Key words: Nucleus, Nuclear energy, electron, Nuclear fission, Nuclear fusion, neutrons, atom

False. The nuclear energy is found within the nucleus. Electrons are located outside the nucleus.

A psychologist is interested in exploring the effect tutorial support on students academic performance and assign students in to

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The dependent variable is academic performance

The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support

The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.

The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support

Explanation:

In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.

The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.

The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.

The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

$r = 4000$ (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

$L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi$

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

$L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi$
