How does nuclear fission work?

Physics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
7 0

Current nuclear reactors use nuclear fission to generate power. ... In nuclear fusion, you get energy when two atoms join together to form one. In a fusion reactor, hydrogen atoms come together to form helium atoms, neutrons and vast amounts of energy. It's the same type of reaction that powers hydrogen bombs and the sun.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The work done equals the increase in Potential Energy

PE = mgh

    = 150 * 9.81 * 1 = <u>1471.5 j</u>

A cylindrical insulated wire of diameter 5.0 mm is tightly wound 200 times around a cylindrical core to form a solenoid with adj
laiz [17]

Answer:

0.0016 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Diameter of wire = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Radius of wire, R = 0.0025 m

Number of turns, N = 200

Current through the wire, I = 0.10A

The magnitude of the magnetic field is given as:

B = (u₀NI) / (2πR)

Where u = magnetic permeability of free space.

B = (1.257 * 10⁻⁶ * 200 * 0.1) / (2 * π * 0.0025)

B = 0.0016 T

The magnitude of the Magnetic field is 0.0016 T.

Which of these should you always do at the end of a calculation
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Reverse check the answer

Explanation:

I believe it is very important that once someone is done with any calculation, the person ought to go over the calculations again. And even, recheck the answer in inverted form.

This is so because while doing the calculations, we can possibly make errors that we won't notice until after submission. Knowing 2 * 3 = 6, but writing 2 * 3 = 5 in the course of calculations can happen to anybody. So therefore, cross checking and reverse checking is needed

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A) He finds the same value of q / m for different materials , B)      y = ½ (q / m) E L² / v₀ₓ² , C) v = E / B , D)   B = 2.13 10⁻⁶ T, E) For the first part I have two off-center points., For the second part I can center one point but the other is off center

Therefore the third statement is correct

Explanation:

Part A

Thomson's experiments are the first proof that the atoms that until now were considered indivisible were constituted by different elements, in these experiments Thomson himself the ratio q / m of several cathodes and always found the same value, which allowed to establish that In atoms there are two types of particles, some of which are mobile and others are still.

When examining his statements the correct one is: He finds the same value of q / m for different materials

Part B

For this part let's use Newton's second law

        F = ma

        q E = m a

        a = q / m E

We use the kinematic relationship

          y = voy t - ½ to t²

          x = v₀ₓ t

The initial vertical velocity of electrons is zero

           y = ½ a (x / v₀ₓ)²

We replace

           y = ½ (q / m) E L² / v₀ₓ²

Part C

If there is no deflection, the electric and magnetic forces are the same and in the opposite direction

         Fm = Fe

         q v B = q E

          v = E / B

Part D

       

        We replace

        y = ½ (q / m) E L² / (E / B)²

         y = ½ (q / m) L² B² / E

If we do not want any deflection the magnetic field has to return the electrons the amount that they lower y = -4.12 cm

      -4.12 10⁻² = ½ q / m 0.12² B² / 1.1 10³

       -16.97 10⁻⁴ = 6.54 10⁻³ B² q / m

      B² = -2.59 10⁻¹ q / m

      q / m = -1.758 10¹¹ C/ kg

      B = √ 0.259 1.758 10¹¹ = √ 4.55 10⁻¹²

      B = 2.13 10⁻⁶ T

Part E

As the charge that the two particles is different

For the first part I have two off-center points.

For the second part I can center one point but the other is off center

Therefore the third statement is correct

Earth is slightly closer to the Sun in January than in July. How does the area swept out by Earth's orbit around the Sun during
suter [353]

Answer: Option <em>a.</em>

Explanation:

Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion states:

<em>A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.</em>

It tells us that it doesn't matter how far Earth is from the Sun, at equal times, the area swept out by Earth's orbit it's always the same independently from the position in the orbit.
