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.

What can affect gravity <br><br> Helpppppp!!!
Anvisha [2.4K]

gravity increases with height. gravity is significantly less on high mountains or tall buildings and increases as we lose height (which is why falling objects speed up) gravity is caused by the Earth spinning. gravity affects things while they are falling but stops when they reach the ground

Oil (SAE 30) at 15.6 oC flows steadily between fixed, horizontal, parallel plates. The pressure drop per unit length along the c
solong [7]

Answer:

q = 0.0003649123 m²/s = (3.65 × 10⁻⁴) m²/s

Explanation:

For laminar flow between two parallel horizontal plates, the volumetric flow per metre of width is given as

q = (2h³/3μ) (ΔP/L)

h = hydraulic depth = 4mm/2 = 2mm = 0.002 m

μ = viscosity of oil (SAE 30) at 15.6°C = 0.38 Pa.s

(ΔP/L) = 26 KPa/m = 26000 Pa/m

q = (2h³/3μ) (ΔP/L)

q = (26000) × (2(0.002³)/(3×0.38))

q = 0.0003649123 m²/s = (3.65 × 10⁻⁴) m²/s

What would most likely happen if the power lines in a pretroleum power plant were broken
tatiyna
If a power lines in a petroleum power plant were broken CUSTOMERS WOULD NOT RECEIVE ELECTRICITY.
Power lines are used in electrical power transmission to transmit electrical energy across large distances. When these lines are broken, the generating plant will not be able to send electricity across to the consumers.
