How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?

Physics

The path of the raction occurs on the basis of mass of the nuclei involved in reaction.
In case of nuclear fusion, two or more nuclei having less mass fuse(combine, join) together to form a new nuclei(heavier mass but it is relatively stable). During fusion, matter is not conserved because some of the matter is converted into energy(light). This reaction evolves a huge amount of energy and there comes Einstein's famous Energy-mass equivalence formula E=mc^2! :D. The nuclear reaction occuring in stars(including our sun ) is "fusion".

Fission occurs with heavier nuclei such as that of Uranium-235. Which splits into smaller subatomic particles like gamma, neutrons and enormous amount of energy.
Both, Fission and Fusion releases enormous amount of energy and modern nuclear weapons works on the principle of nuclear fission.

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of
Feliz [49]
The answer is 509 m.

Let point B be 253 m from point A. Let point C be 64 s away from point B.
Let d1 be the displacements from point A to point B and d2 and be the displacements from point B to point C
Step 1. Calculate the displacement from the point B after 64 s.
Step 2. Calculate the displacement from the point A by summing up two distances (d1 and d2).

Step 1.
v = d2/t
v = 4 m/s
d2 = ?
t = 64s
____
4 = d2/64
d2 = 64 * 4 = 256 m


Step 2:
d = d1 + d2
d1 = 253 m
d2 = 256 m
d = 253 + 256 = 509m

What are 3 reasons why the application of physics is important in the work or school environment?​
gregori [183]

Answer:

Physics is important in our daily life because it deals with daily objects we need like light, electricty and sound. Without physics, we cant have the ability to see because lights wont be a thing, we cant use phones, cars and such because they wont work without electricty, you wont be able to listen to your favourite band without sound!

If a atom loses a neutron what happens
snow_tiger [21]
When an atom loses a neutron it become an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different amount of neutrons.
