Nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction. a. True b. False

Physics

Answer : The given statement is, True.

Explanation :

Nuclear fission : It is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.

Nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction.

In nuclear reactor, neutron hits the uranium nucleus and the uranium nucleus splits into two nuclei and three neutrons. These three neutrons further hit the uranium nucleus and the uranium nucleus split into two nuclei and these 3 neutrons produces 9 neutrons.

So, yes the nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction.

Answer: The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reactions is a type of nuclear reactions. In these nuclear reactions, one heavier nuclei splits into two or more lighter nuclie's. This process produces a series of  neutrons and protons and release a large amount of energy.

Nuclear chain reactions are a series of fission reactions which is initiated by the neutron that is produces in the previous fission reaction. The neutrons in turn produces neutrons and the process further continues.

So Yes, nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction.

(20) A rocket is launched vertically. At time t = 0 seconds, the rocket’s engine shuts down. At the time, the rocket has reached
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

for t > 0.

At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.

We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket

Using mathematics maxima and minima

let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9.8t + 125

dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125

9.8t = 125

t = 125 / 9.8

t = 12.76s

Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point

Let find d²h / dt²

d²h / dt² = -9.8

Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.

Then, the maximum height reached is

h =  -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

h =  -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500

h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500

h = 1297.2 m

The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m

From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.

Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.

What is the change in momentum of a 50-kg rock that falls freely for 3 seconds?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1470kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the rock = 50kg

Time taken for the free fall  = 3s

Unknown:

Change in momentum = ?

Solution:

The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.

  Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

       Momentum  = mass x velocity

Initial momentum  = 0, the velocity is 0

Final momentum = mass x final velocity

      let us find the final velocity;

                V = U + gt

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

                 V  = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s

So;

 Change in momentum  = 50 x 29,4  = 1470kgm/s
