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.

Light striking the walls of the glass cylinder and reflecting in inside tube itself is a phenomenon known as total internal reflection.

<h3>What word best describes reflection, in your opinion?</h3>

Reflection is often synonymous with the verbs cogitate, contemplate, reason, hypothesize, and think. All of these expressions mean "using one's intellect, judgment, or inference faculties," but the word "reflect" means carefully considering a recollection.

<h3>What does it mean to give reflection some thought?</h3>

constant verb When you ruminate, you seriously consider something. Alternatives include thinking, analyzing, planning, and thinking. More phrases containing "reflect" Reflecting feelings is the act of observing a person's verbal and nonverbal signs for their emotions and feelings, then immediately communicating (or reflecting) those attitudes to the user or customer.

Gravitational notes of physics ​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Every object in the universe attracts other object by a force of attraction, called gravitation, which is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. This is called Law of Gravitation or Universal Law of Gravitation.

Let masses (M) and (m) of two objects are distance (d) apart. Let F be the attractional force between two masses.

Importance of The Universal Law of Gravitation

It binds us to the earth.

It is responsible for the motion of the moon around the earth.

It is responsible for the motion of planets around the Sun.

Gravitational force of moon causes tides in seas on earth.

Free Fall

When an object falls from any height under the influence of gravitational force only, it is known as free fall.

Acceleration Due to Gravity

When an object falls towards the earth there is a change in its acceleration due to the gravitational force of the earth. So this acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g.

The unit of g is same as the unit of acceleration, i.e., ms−2

Mathematical Expression for g

From the second law of motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

For free fall, acceleration is replaced by acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore, force becomes:

F = mg ….(i)

But from Universal Law of Gravitation,

Factors Affecting the Value of g

As the radius of the earth increases from the poles to the equator, the value of g becomes greater at the poles than at the equator.

As we go at large heights, value of g decreases.

To Calculate the Value of g

Value of universal gravitational constant, G = 6.7 × 10–11 N m2/ kg2,

Mass of the earth, M = 6 × 1024 kg, and

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 × 106 m

Putting all these values in equation (iii), we get:

Thus, the value of acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g = 9.8 m/s2.

Difference between Gravitation Constant (G) and Gravitational Acceleration (g)

S. No.

Gravitation Constant (G)

Gravitational acceleration (g)

1.

Its value is 6.67×10-11Nm2/kg2.

Its value is 9.8 m/s2.

2.

It is a scalar quantity.

It is a vactor quantity.

3.

Its value remains constant always and everywhere.

Its value varies at various places.

4.

Its unit is Nm2/kg2.

Its unit is m/s2.

Motion of Objects Under the Influence of Gravitational Force of the Earth

Let an object is falling towards earth with initial velocity u. Let its velocity, under the effect of gravitational acceleration g, changes to v after covering the height h in time t.

Then the three equations of motion can be represented as:

Velocity (v) after t seconds, v = u + ght

Height covered in t seconds, h = ut + ½gt2

Relation between v and u excluding t, v2 = u2 + 2gh

The value of g is taken as positive in case of the object is moving towards earth and taken as negative in case of the object is thrown in opposite direction of the earth.

Mass & weight

Mass (m)

The mass of a body is the quantity of matter contained in it.

Mass is a scalar quantity which has only magnitude but no direction.

Mass of a body always remains constant and does not change from place to place.

SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg).

Mass of a body can never be zero.

Weight (W)

The force with which an object is attracted towards the centre of the earth, is called the weight of the object.

Now, Force = m × a

But in case of earth, a = g

∴ F = m × g

But the force of attraction of earth on an object is called its weight (W).

∴ W = mg

As weight always acts vertically downwards, therefore, weight has both magnitude and direction and thus it is a vector quantity.

The weight of a body changes from place to place, depending on mass of object.

The SI unit of weight is Newton.

Weight of the object becomes zero if g is zero.

Weight of an Object on the Surface of Moon

Mass of an object is same on earth as well as on moon. But weight is different.

Weight of an object is given as,

Hence, weight of the object on the moon = (1/6) × its weight on the earth.

Try the following questions:

Q1. State the universal law of gravitation.

Q2. When we move from the poles to the equator, the value of g decreases. Why?

Q3. If two stones of 150 gm and 500 gm are dropped from a height, which stone will reach the surface of the earth first and why ?

Q4. Differentiate between weight and mass.

Q5. Why is the weight of an object on the moon 1/6th its weight on the earth??

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20. Meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface be
miv72 [106K]

consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s         (since the projectile was launched horizontally)

a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds

Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?

using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

F=(GM₁M₂)/r²

=((6.67x10⁻¹¹)(70)(52))/(1.5²)

=2.42788x10⁻⁷/2.25

=1.07905778x10⁻⁷

≈1.08x10⁻⁷
