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.

A 0.046 kg golf ball hit by a driver can accelerate from rest to 67 m/s in 1 ms while the driver is in contact with the ball. Ho
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Average force = 67 mn

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 67 m/s

Time t = 1 ms = 0.001 sec.

Computation:

Using Momentum theory

Change in momentum  = F × Δt

 (v-u)/t =  F × Δt

F × 0.001 = (67 - 0)/0.001

F= 67,000,000

Average force = 67 mn

A balloon is a sphere with a radius of 5.0 m. the force of air against the walls of the balloon is 45 n. what is the air pressur
Mazyrski [523]

The air pressure inside the balloon is: 0.1432 Pa

The formulas and procedures that we will use to solve this problem are:

  • a = 4 * π * r²
  • P = F/a

Where:

  • a = area of the sphere
  • r = radius
  • π = mathematical constant
  • P = Pressure
  • F = Force
  • a = surface area

Information about the problem:

  • r = 5.0 m
  • F = 45 N
  • 1 Pa = N/m²
  • 1 N = kg * m/s²
  • a=?
  • P=?

Using the formula of the sphere area we get:

a = 4 * π * r²

a = 4 * 3.1416 * (5.0 m)²

a = 314.16 m²

Applying the pressure formula we get:

P = F/a

P = 45 N/314.16 m²

P = 0.1432 Pa

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the force applied on the area of a surface.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS :) What does it mean when white light is diffracted and at a particular location the color seen is bl
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

This is because white light consists of 7 colours with different angles o deviation or retraction.

Explanation:

When a narrow beam of light is refracted by a prism the light spreads into a band of colours (called the spectrum of light )

But in this case if a blue colour is observed it is due to the angle of refraction ,for instance red is refracted the least and hence is seen

Write a hypothesis about how the number of half-lives affects the number of radioactive atoms. Use the "if . . . then . . . beca
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.

For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.

With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.

If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.
