Chain reactions
Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause chain reactions
Explanation:
In nuclear fission reactions, the heavier atoms split into into lighter atoms, releasing neutrons at high velocity in the process. The neutrons hit other heavier atoms in the vicinity and split them too releasing more neutrons. This continuation is called chain reaction. The more the released neutrons the higher the rate of chain reactions. This causes too much energy to be produced at a go until an enormous explosion occurs (like in bombs).
In controlled nuclear fission such as in nuclear reactors, the number of neutrons is controlled so as to prevent the reactor from exploding. A wall that absorbs excess neutrons is used to control the number of chain reactions to prevent the release of too much energy at once.

Answer:
Explanation:
The work of force 2 will be given by the vectorial equation 
. We know the value of 
and have information about its movement, which relates to the net force 
.
About this movement we can obtain the acceleration using the equation 
. Since it departs from rest we have 
.
And then using Newton's 2dn Law we can obtain the net force F=ma, thus we will have 
And we had the work done by force 2 as:
(The sign will be given algebraically since we take positive the direction to the right.)
With our values:
<em>Another (shorter but maybe less intuitive way for someone who is learning) way of doing this would have been to say that the work done by both forces would be equal to the variation of kinetic energy:</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Which leads us to the previous equation straightforwardly.</em>
B. the sum of the protons and the neutrons in one atom of the element
Nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Nuclear fission does occur spontaneously but at a
very low level in fissionable materials. The main difference between fission
and nuclear decay is that fission can occur by neutron bombardment. And when
the neutron source is also other fissioning atoms, a chain reaction can may
happen. <span>
No chain reaction is possible with nuclear decay.
<span>That would be a much better characteristic to look at.</span></span>
