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>

about how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200N. How much force does the bat (moving at 20m/s)
just olya [345]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200 N.

We need to find the force that the bat moving at 20 m/s hit the ball with.

We know that, this probelm is based on Newton's third law of motion. The force that the ball exerting on bat should be equal to the force that the bat exerting in the ball but in opposite direction.

It would mean that the ball hits the ball with a force of 200 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).
