How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?

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.

The correct answer is C.<span>Fission reactions are used to generate electricity for consumers, but fusion reactions are not. This is according to my online study class I just took. Hopefully i have helped! :)</span>

What causes wind how does the process reverse itself between day and night?
iris [78.8K]
<span>Wind is nature's way of balancing the temperature between hot and cold. Wind always flows from heat to cool. When night falls, the air cools. And since it gets cooler at night it reverses.</span>

a disk initially at rest rotates with constant angular acceleration through an angel of 50 rad in 5 sec find the angular speed o
lisov135 [29]

Recall the formula,

∆<em>θ</em> = <em>ω</em>₀ <em>t</em> + 1/2 <em>α</em> <em>t</em> ²

where ∆<em>θ</em> = angular displacement, <em>ω</em>₀ = initial angular speed (which is zero because the disk starts at rest), <em>α</em> = angular acceleration, and <em>t</em> = time. Solve for the acceleration with the given information:

50 rad = 1/2 <em>α</em> (5 s)²

<em>α</em> = (100 rad) / (25 s²)

<em>α</em> = 4 rad/s²

Now find the angular speed <em>ω </em>after 3 s using the formula,

<em>ω</em> = <em>ω</em>₀ + <em>α</em> <em>t</em>

<em>ω</em> = (4 rad/s²) (3 s)

<em>ω</em> = 12 rad/s
