Strong nuclear forces

Explanation:

The formation and breakage of the strong nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom accounts for the energy released during fission and fusion reactions.

Nuclear reactions occurs when changes are made to the nucleus of an atom.

Strong nuclear forces maintains the stability in the nucleus of an atom.
Strong nuclear forces are the strongest of the fundamental forces.
They hold subatomic particles together.
When they are broken during a nuclear fission, they release a great deal of energy.
When they form during a fusion they also release energy.

denis-greek [22]

Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant

F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m

Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ

Answer:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe by making climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current

Explanation:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe because the North Atlantic current causes the Gulf stream to be split into two ( 2 ) and the Northern stream which is a warm stream crossing over to Northern Europe. <em>The Gulf stream makes climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current</em>

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a

Art [367]

Answer:

$40.34\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

$L_1$ = Length of wire = 65 m

$I_1$ = Initial current = 1.8 A

$I_2$ = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

$R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

and

$R\propto L$

$\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

$\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}$

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is $40.34\ \text{m}$ .
