Atoms heavier than iron are generally produced by what process

Biology
1 answer:
natita [175]4 years ago
5 0

Answer;

-Explosion of supernovas

Atoms heavier than iron are generally produced by the process of explosion of supernovas.

Explanation;

Many elements heavier than iron or all of the post-iron elements are formed supernova explosions. The amount of energy released during a supernova explosion is so high that the freed energy and copious free neutrons streaming from the collapsing core result into massive fusion reactions, long past the formation of iron.

For elements lighter than iron on the periodic table, nuclear fusion releases energy while fission consumes it. Chemical elements up to the iron peak are produced in ordinary stellar nucleosynthesis. Heavier elements are produced only during supernova nucleosynthesis.

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy?
evablogger [386]
I think this is actually a physics question- 
gravitational potential energy = mass*g*height. We know mass and g is constant, so all we need to know is the height of the basketball.

Hope this helps :)

V125BC [204]
The answer is A.

The answer is A because that is the only positive of the entire set of answers.

B has a negative word of pollution which is something we are currently trying to stop.

C has threaten which would make other fish populations threatened or other aqua culture

And D has diseases which is obviously negative for the fact that diseases causes death and will ultimately lead to an endangered or extinct species if mutations or adaptions are not made.

Hope this helps!
