Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Both require heat energy, while fission tears molecules apart, fusion "fuses" them together. Fission releases heat energy by splitting atoms. Fusion is actually what occurs on the sun.

A ceiling fan draws a current of 0.625 A and has a voltage of 120 V. The resistance of the ceiling fan, to the nearest whole num
Fiesta28 [93]
So we want to know what is the resistance of the ceiling fan if the current I=0.625 A and the voltage V=120 V. So we can get the resistance from Ohms law: I=V/R where I is the current, V is voltage and R is resistance. So the resistance is R=V/I. Now we input the numbers and get: R=120/0.625=192 Ω. That is resistance to the closest whole number.

A visitor to the observation deck of a skyscraper manages to drop a penny over the edge. As the penny falls faster, the force du
pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.
