Answer:
The 20th century saw huge advances in our understanding and use of the nucleus. For instance, in 1939 scientists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch discovered nuclear fission – a process by which radioactive materials release energy when they are induced to split.
Realising the huge amount of energy that such a reaction produces, scientists were tasked with developing this new knowledge initially for harm in nuclear weapons. Just six years after fission’s discovery, it was harnessed in the atom bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and controversially ended the Second World War. Later, much more powerful hydrogen bombs were developed that combined fission with the process powering the Sun – fusion.
Hope this helps! PLEASE GIVE ME BRAINLIEST!!!!! =)
As we know that
P.E. = mgh
where,
P.E. = Potential energy of the object =?
m= mass of object= 3kg
g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms^-2
h = height between object and animal = 0 m
Then
P.E. = 3× 9.8 × 0 = 0 Joules or 0J

It is because in that time science was not established. This is, the experimentation to test hypotheses, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method, was not applied.
Atoms can not be seen, then they could only reflect or philosophize on this matter. This method is not able to give good answers to so complicated scientific matters.
