How does nuclear fission work?

1 answer:

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.

Sometimes students are taught that "air expands as it is heated". And sometimes they are taught that "as air expands it cools".

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Both are true under specific circumstances. And are related to Boyle's law. volume and pressure in a gas are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

There is a tendency to entropy in our reality, that is, in particular true and visible with gases, they tend to occupy the whole space where they are confined, when we heat a volume of gas, then the movement of the particles and in consequence the pressure of the gas increases and to compensate this the volume tends to be increased too, according to Boyle's law. And the opposite happens when the volume is increased, then the pressure is relieved and since the particles are further one from each other, then the temperature is lower, and therefore it cools down.

If you put 120 volts of electricity through a pickle, the pickle will smoke and start glowing orange-yellow. The light is emitte

Alona [7]

Answer:

2.11eV

Explanation:

We know that speed of light is it's wavelength times frequency.

$\therefore f=v/\lambda\\=(3\times10^8m/s)/(589mm\times1m/1\times 10^9nm)\\=5.09\times10^1^4s^-1 \ or \ 5.09\times10^1^4Hz$

Planck's constant is $6.626\times 10^3^4Js$

The energy gap is calculated by multyplying the light's frequency by planck's constant:

$E_c=5.09\times10^1^4s^-^1\times 6.626\times10^-^3^4Js\\\\=3.37\times 10^-^1^9J \ \ \ \ \ \ #1eV=1.06\times 10^-^1^9J\\\\=2.11eV$

Hence, the energy gap is 2.11eV

6) Find the speed a spherical raindrop would attain by falling from 4.00 km. Do this:a) In the absence of air dragb) In the pres

sleet_krkn [62]

We are asked to determine the velocity of a rain drop if it falls from 4 km.

To do that we will use the following formula:

$2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} a=\text{ acceleration} \\ h=\text{ height} \\ v_f,v_0=\text{ final and initial velocity} \end{gathered}$

If we assume the initial velocity to be 0 we get:

$2ah=v_f^2$

The acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity:

$2gh=v_f^2$

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

$\sqrt{2gh}=v_f$

Now, we substitute the values:

$\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(4000m)}=v_f$

solving the operations:

$280\frac{m}{s}=v$

Therefore, the velocity without air drag is 280 m/s.

Part B. we are asked to determine the velocity if there is air drag. To do that we will use the following formula:

$F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} F_d=drag\text{ force} \\ C=\text{ constant} \\ \rho_{air}=\text{ density of air} \\ A=\text{ area} \\ v=\text{ velocity} \end{gathered}$

We need to determine the drag force. To do that we will use the following free-body diagram:

Since the velocity that the raindrop reaches is the terminal velocity and its a constant velocity this means that the acceleration is zero and therefore the forces are balanced:
