What is one way that fission and fusion are similar?

2 answers:

They both involve atoms. Other than that they're the exact opposite of each other. Fusion is putting atoms together. Fission is taking them apart.

One major way is that both release incredible amounts of energy, fusion perhaps more so than fission. This is why we here about fusion power plants being tested, because they could be a major solution to the global energy crisis.

An object is dropped and falls freely to the ground with an acceleration of g. If it is thrown upward at an angle instead, its a

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Explanation:

if an object is thrown upward or at any angle, the acceleration acting on that object is the same as acceleration due to gravity which always acts towards the vertically downwards direction because there is no acceleration or the force acting on the object in horizontal direction.

Thus, the acceleration is same as acceleration due to gravity g.

Item 19 Question 1 A Ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet. You board a car at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, which is 10 feet a

sergey [27]

Answer:

$y = 104.4 ft$

Explanation:

As we know that we board in the car of ferris wheel at the bottom position

So we will have

final height of the car at angular displacement given as

$y = y_o + R + R sin(270 - 255)$

$y = y_o + R + R sin 15$

here we know that

$y_o = 10 ft$

$R = 75 ft$

so we have

$y = 10 + 75 + 75 sin15$

$y = 104.4 ft$

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10000n/m and nominal length of 0.50.what is the total length

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<em>The total length of the spring would be 0.65 m</em>

Explanation:

The Concept

Hooke's law evaluates the increment of spring in relation to the force acting on the body. Hooke's law states that for a spring undergoing deformation, the force applied is directly proportional to the deformation experienced by the spring. Hooke's law is represented thus;

F = k x ..................1

where F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the spring stretch or extension

Step by Step Calculations

We have to obtain x before adding it to the nominal length, We make x the subject formula in equation 1;

x = F/k

but F = m x g

so, x = (m x g)/k

given that, the mass of the person m =150 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/ $s^{2}$

k is the spring constant = 10000 N/m

then x = (9.81 m/ $s^{2}$ x 150 kg)/10000 N/m

x = 0.14715 m

the extension experienced by the spring after the compression is 0.14715 m

The total length of the spring would be;

L = 0.14715 m + 0.5 m = 0.64715

L ≈ 0.65 m

Therefore the total length of the spring would be 0.65 m

What are the differences between refraction and diffraction?

Liula [17]

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave.
Diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier.
