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.

1.33 m^3 of fluid flows out of a pipe in 24.5 s. the fluid leaves the pipe at 3.55 m/s. what is the area of the pipe. (unit=m^2)
Margaret [11]

Answer:

0.015meter^{2}

Explanation:

Total volume of water coming out = 1.33meter^{3}

Also volume = Cross sectional area*Length covered

Length covered = Velocity *time

                           =24.5*3.55

                           =86.97 meter

Let the cross sectional area be A.

1.33 = 86.97*A

A =0.015meter^{2}
