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.

An archer pulls her bowstring back 0.396 m by exerting a force that increases uniformly from zero to 237 N. (a) What is the equi
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

(a) The equivalent spring constant is 598.485 N/m

(b) The work done is 46.926 J

Explanation:

From Hooke's law of elasticity

K (spring constant) = F/e

F is the range of force exerted = 237 - 0 = 237 N

e is the extension of bowstring = 0.396 m

K = F/e = 237/0.396 = 598.485 N/m

Work done = 1/2 Fe = 1/2 × 237 × 0.396 = 46.926 J

timurjin [86]

Answer:

A.   potassium

Explanation:

Potassium is expected to have the greater atomic radius from the given choices of element.

Atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid states of metals.

  • Across a period, the atomic radii decreases progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the progressive increase in the nuclear charge without increase in the number of electronic shells.
