Which statement is true about nuclear fusion? it is caused by the same process that causes nuclear fission.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The correct statement about nuclear fusion is the last one: "it produces nearly all the elements that are heavier than helium". Nuclear fusion is the process of combination of two smaller atoms into a larger one. It requires a high activation energy, which is reached in the stars. Elements from He to Iron were formed in the Sun, but larger elements require a higher energy and are formed inside supernovas.

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w
steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})

so its initial gravitational potential energy U_0 is

U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})

\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})

\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U

We know that the initial kinetic energy K_0, as well as its final gravitational potential energy U are zero so we can write the conservation law as

mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}

Oppositely charged objects attract each other. This attraction holds electrons in atoms and holds atoms to one another in many c
GalinKa [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This can be explained as in Rutherford's model of atom the electrons orbits the nucleus which means that they will travel around the nucleus with some velocity and hence radiate electromagnetic waves which results in the loss of energy due to which the electron keeps coming closer and eventually falls into the nucleus.

But Bohr came up with a better explanation as according to the Bohr's atomic model, electrons stay fixed in orbit with certain energy in different shells around the nucleus and can only jump from an energy level to another if that specific amount of energy is supplied to it.

This model is based on the quantization of energy thus giving an explanation why electrons do not fall into the nucleus of an atom.
